Re: Rules on metal casters
What about a metal roller? Completely round and smooth no sharp or rough edges on the carpet. It seems as if some rubber tires could damage the carpet easier than this. What about a polished metal ball? Would that be disallowed? I think the "no metal or hard plastic" rule is being over-restrictive, just as is the "teams must use the provided copper lugs" rule, but thats another discussion for another day.
