And then i saw a team that had so many numbers on their bumpers you couldnt tell what team they where. (some digits where even upside down)
Same was noted in the Alamo Regional. Gold numbers, numbers being painted on the Thursday with finger paint. The quality control of bumpers is a lot laid back in the States. Waterloo would not have passed those bumpers. Regulations should be across the board. I understand it's week one but something tells me some of these were not all rookie teams...
