That's not the problem... It's just not having adequate sleep the past few days lol (dreaming of kickoff)! Thank goodness my team doesn't start build season until next Monday (lots of time to get sleep and collect our thoughts)

Anyway, I was looking further into the drawings, and noticed something... Why does the Team Truss (TE-14022) need to have the truss span supports if all it's doing is sitting there? Couldn't it be something they enclosed like their team truss supports? Also I'm wondering why they chose to have the sides enclosed and the top open (as far as the team truss supports go). Turning the design would support more weight if teams were hanging.

Also, I just noticed the text "If the string is GREEN, then the Head Referee has determined that the FIELD is safe for humans." Has this been in the book before? I wouldn't think that balls would be dangerous.

Better get to bed before I can get any more crazier
