Re: Coverings/Banners/Shelves [Team Pit Layouts]

Ed, be careful about pole material and length. I have seen a PVC flag pole break...on the field...while Mark Leon was introducing the teams. (He then assigned the team homework: do the math to find how much force it took to break the pole. They brought it to him just before their first match the next day.) PVC is usually a good choice, if it's not too long. Other materials may also work.
