So maybe in the future once the GDC have worked out what is needed for the field and pieces they could contact a FIRST rep in each country to confirm the item or exact equivalent is available. So on kickoff day a list of all equivalent parts are in the manual. The FIRST rep would have to be signed to a confidentiality clause.
How are the teams in Israel / England / Germany doing at getting the field floor and game ball?
Some years depending on the game it might not be so critical but the field for this year definitely is.
Any thoughts?

I feel for you. I sense that this problem has been consistently overlooked in the past few years.
