Re: Game piece inflation
This thread can go on and on, but the one thing to remember is that according to the Filed manual, the balls should be inflated to the point where the zipper is not touching itself, nor stretched into a football shape. They are to be inflated where the zipper is slight pulled apart where the inflating plug can be inserted. The zipper should be able to be pulled closed with some slight resistance. I did not receive any complaints at the Groton District event. I checked all balls often & they were consistent. We did have 2 balls checked at the beginning of the Eliminations & found to be slightly over-inflated by a volunteer who was just trying to keep up & was pumping them up rapidly. After that they seemed to be consistent. They will be scrutinized at the Southington District Event to be properly inflated.
