2011: Logomotion - Tubes- Irregular
2010: Breakaway - Soccer Ball: Ball
2009: Lunacy - The open air cells: Irregular

2005: Triple Play: Triangles: Irregular
It would make sense for the game piece to be a ball this year. I think that the graphing is brilliant, and that part of the clue is that it is a spherical game piece, but that each fraction is also a game hint.

I would be very careful making up 'patterns.' Many thought that there was also a 'sports game pattern' too:
2006: Aim High -
Mesoamerican ballgame
2007: Rack 'n Roll - Abstract
2008: FIRST Overdrive - NASCAR
2009: Lunacy - Abstract
2010: Breakaway - Soccer
2011: Logomotion - Abstract
2012: Rebound Rumble - Basketball
So 2013 was expected to be an abstract, non-sports game, but then they threw Ultimate Frisbee at us.

Boom, pattern broken.
Also, I would call 2009 ball, not irregular in your 'pattern.' The game pieces were called 'Orbit Balls' after all!
