Re: Maintaining Ball Size at Competition

The manufacture describes them as 25", not 24" (or two feet).

The cover is really what should be controlling the diameter. Carefully look at the seams and how the zipper functions to verify that you've got it inflated to the same approximate size as FIRST is expecting them to be.

The big point, though, is to expect variation and design your mechanisms to tolerate that.
