Yup, I think THAT is the historically accurate answer for all of this - when we bought 4 of them at Wal-Mart 3 of 4 were broken, and I broke the 4th one an hour later while giving it a slight squeeze to see how it deforms. Unless the ball is just absolutely mangled beyond recognition I don't see the competition staff being able to replace them when only one or two bands are broken (imagine a robot squashing a group of 'em as it slides into the wall). You're just going to have to figure out how to deal with these things "mostly broken."
