We eventually were able to unstick the ball from the rubber hoop (which somehow came unattached from the ZED part of the table) but the tube remained on the playing field. I declared broken table strats, which included ricocheting the ball from the tube into the ramp above, as seen by the purple dotted line in the diagram above. In a stunning move, I somehow managed to do this twice but didn't film either instance. (My partner is an eyewitness, though her relationship to me makes her unreliable.)
