A few pool noodles won't take up much of your 65 pound withholding allowance, and if you've got one or two students ready to rebuild the bumpers and the noodles cut to length you should be done fairly quickly on Thursday morning.

Another plus of this plan is that if you don't cut your noodles before you get to competition, they are not FABRICATED ITEMs and thus they don't take up any of your WITHOLDING ALLOWANCE.
