What sorting? It will be far easier for reset crews to collect 8 groups of ten balls of any color, rather than trying to find specific balls for red and blue teams.

As to the tetra connectors being different, wasn't that because the gamepieces had to be more robust? You could order the "official" connectors, but at a higher price.

It's just like the home versions of the field being constructed of different support materials than the competition versions. The home versions don't have to be struck and moved multiple times, so they can be easily built more-or-less permanantly from wood. The competition versions will (primarily) have metal construction. There will no doubt be slight variations in how the official ramp flexes compared to your home version. But not enough to matter.
