I enjoy a good 1 vs 1

Well my theory is that instead of the bouncing off the yellow pads being handled client-side, it is handled server-side in steam. That's why if you have a poor ping to a server, you fall through the yellow arrow until it updates from the server and makes you bounce. This is also why you can supposedly land on a pad then be flying backwards as if you had bounced.
