2010 brings up a point about gamepieces that I wish FIRST would focus more on; use actual sports gamepieces when possible, ideally quality brands. They are likely going to be more consistent and durable than other options.
Define severely damaged because I saw a bunch of balls with some cuts or big scrapes where the outer paint was taken off but it never seemed to impede the team's using them.

I also do agree that first should use brand name, quality sporting goods as future game pieces. 2 good reasons why are because they are quality and if they are name brand they wont run out at Wal-Mart.
