I, for one, think that a water game is very feasible (sorry if i did not spell that right). It would prove to be a tough challenge and very interesting to play in.
This idea gets beaten to death every year. The main reasons...
-Cost (pump the water in, make some sort of tank to contain the water, etc)
-Venue availability (no high school gym floor - at the very least - can take hundreds of pounds of water sitting on it for three days straight, and pools aren't exactly spectator-friendly)
-While teams would KNOW how crucial it would be to protect their electronics, there is SUCH a huge chance that something will spark and kill everything.
-Spectator viewing pleasure (or lack thereof)
