In my opinion, I think that could be traced to two things. One, maybe some teams didn't know outright what exactly the pumpkin tube was. I don't know, but I'd guess that was a problem for at least one team somewhere at Ruckus.
Secondly, and the one I personally believe in, is they looked two much like regular circles. When coaches are looking for tubes, they're looking for red, white, blue and yellow. When you throw another tube into the mix, with the same body color as another tube, with distinguishing marks that must be near impossible to see for most from across the field... well, I think you get the point. By the last 15 seconds, the field was, most of the time, saturated with tubes. If a team was looking to put up a pumpkin tube, it would have taken a lot of attention to pick one out of the crowd, even before getting and using it.
