Re: Ball dimensional variability

We followed this inflation guide:
http://www.usfirst.org/sites/default...ance_Guide.pdf

We measured the circumference. Independent measurements were made by three students. The average diameter of eight measurements was 24.7 inches.

We got burned by larger tournament tubes than we had designed and practiced with in 2011 so we'll make sure that we take ball diameter variance into account this year.
