Any possibility the game could be played with something like a tennis ball? There haven't been any games with a ball that small since 2000, so it would provide a unique challenge. I remember a quote from the GDC about keeping the game interesting for veteran teams but also something that rookies could handle (the case every year). I know that there are practical reasons to keep the game pieces large but it is not an inherent requirement.
