field goal or try

Furthermore, an R in a 4-man game doesn't have the proper view to be able to call it good/no good if a curving kick appears to pass over the upright. So the chances of it being called good are if you will, pretty good.
Depth perception issues are going to prevent that, especially at night.

By the book, as asked in the original question the TRY or FG is no good and should be called as such if officials are positioned under the uprights.

Agreed. But my original point wasn't to ignore the rules -- it was to point out that it's not an easy call even positioned under the uprights. The chance of the officials calling it good, even under the uprights, is greater than zero, I think.
