The biggest thing that surprised me is how dangerous this game can be for field staff/volunteers. I've seen balls scored and take out DJ booths and railings, balls are constantly bouncing/being fired at field staff and referees, and a couple that have almost taken out the scoring table. With the steps taken last year to make firing frisbees safer, these 2 pound balls are ending up everywhere outside the field. I'm not saying that the balls are more dangerous, just surprised that there isn't netting behind the goals and sides of the field. It would be interesting to hear from those who have actually been by field level.

Seems marginally worse than 2008, since the game involves by its nature throwing a ball out of the field.
