If you noticed during 2011 some (many?) field workers just pumped up the tubes as hard as they could, shoved the sizing gauge over the tube and went "hey, it fits!" and put them out on the field grossly over-sized. In 2007 the exact opposite was true, tubes were generally grossly under-inflated.
No matter what the regulation is we better count on someone who does not appreciate the implications of their seemingly trivial volunteer job at an event. Balls could be very over-inflated, under-inflated, or both. Plan accordingly.
