Dido.

Even if it were like 5 ~12" long 3x3 boxes for example why not just use one 12x9x6 box or something like that. Also they seem to be trying to say that we should prepare for something cumbersome (a 5ft long box). Same thing for wiffle balls, why not a square box? It would be cheaper/easier for us and FIRST. Based on that whatever this is has to need a box that big or else it is a waste. To the point of bumper materials, why supply everyone with something most of us have already bought and paid for? Why not tell us we are getting bumper fabric and noodles ahead of time so we don't spend the money? The whole point is so we don't spend it anyway.
