Re: Building the field
Looking at the game and all the geometry involved, I would encourage all teams to build as much of a field as they have room for. I did not build using the exact materials except the diamond plate, all sizes are accurate.

We are very lucky to have a room dedicated to a competition field. We have two ramps, 1 player station and 2 lower goals to practice with. This amounts to about 75% of the field size.

Once the field was in place - comleted last week Thursday - it really changed our look at the game. "All is not as it appears in a flat drawing".
