**Rhythmdvl** tries to hi-five **Kotick** , but trips on his shoelaces. How he tripped on Kotick’s shoelaces isn’t relevant, just realize he did.

Perhaps because he was distracted, not knowing whether or not Kotick had the ball, or whether the ball Rhythmdvl now has is real or imaginary. Rhythm continues to ponder this, not noticing that the ball drops out of his hands…

**Kotik** did not have the ball, but you did put it back into play.

After touching the ball, you aren’t allowed to touch it again, until either there is a score or the opposing team gets it.\*\* Rhythmdvl \*\* got it the second time after the Quetzals got it, so it’s good.
