If the GDC is having this issue. Will the 1800 teams have the same issue? Will this be a repeat of 2009?
Over the past several years, there have been a lot of teams pushing for a game piece that is both included, and commonly available from local sources. I find it odd to hear they are considering a more complex piece. This news worries me that the game dynamics will focus more on the actual piece than the game play itself.

In any case, I hope that it will be INCLUDED IN THE KIT and that additional pieces will be READILY AVAILABLE FROM DAY 1 and that we don't hear the "Well it's similar to a regulation ...." Similar != same.
