2012: Rebound Rumble - Basketball: Ball
2011: Logomotion - Tubes- Irregular
2010: Breakaway - Soccer Ball: Ball
2009: Lunacy - The open air cells: Irregular
2008: FIRST Overdrive: Trackballs: Ball
2007: Rack 'n Roll: Tubes: Irregular
2006: Aim High: Balls: Ball
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.
That pattern goes back farther than that. The ones I know for sure are that 2002 and 2004 had balls and 2003 did not, but I've read that the pattern extends into the 1990's.
