Re: Soccer Ball Sold Out
So this company, which sells out of their entire stock of 1000 balls in one weekend, didn't notice when they got a single order of some 1000 balls to be shipped to NH? (50 events, 20 balls each = 1000 balls. Is 20 even enough?)

I'm sorry, I think this is inexcusable negligence on FIRST's part. Based on further information provided below, I strike that comment. But it appears they didn't make the supplier aware of the magnitude of orders they might expect.

They probably asked for a quote of 1000 balls and took a good price, without asking how many balls would be left in stock after their order was placed.
