[FSPA] LOTR magnet question

[Todd Yoder]

During an average game, how often does the ball go up the ramp and into the ring, as opposed to bouncing out? I’m not talking about when the magnet grabs and releases it, but when the ball just bounces around the ring and doesn’t go in.

Just not sure if the ring magnet is always on or only sometimes.
