Re: Ball Damage
That is a very good question. Most teams are going to use the softball shooter design to shoot the balls, which means that there is a certain a mount of inevitable damage that will happen to the ball. Just after shooting the ball a few times, the outer shell of the ball have started to come off. So my guess is that as long as there aren't giant chunks of foam coming from the balls, then I don't think the refs will have a problem.
