I wouldn't be so sure of that. This is the low cost version we're talking about, its designed to be cheaper but only for individual team use. Maybe the real field has steel but the low cost uses PVC to cut down on cost. Its probably strong enough for individual testing but not for actual competition, thus only on low cost version.
