This is something we shouldn't have to deal with. FIRST should have already warned the supplier months ago when they decided on those balls. This is one of those things where FIRST really seems to fall short. It's the same every year. There is a piece somewhere in the goal/field setup that becomes hard or impossible to buy.
On another note, I had ordered from KBAcoach.com on Sunday but yesterday afternoon they told me they had run out. Now to me, 36 hrs to confirm inventory is unacceptable. They expect them in 3 to 4 working days. And if I want express shipping... 3-Day $97, overnight $211!!!
