In Reply to: game ball inflation posted by Joe Balint on 1/10/2000 11:07 PM MST:



: The rules state that :
: 'The 'Ball' is a textured rubber playground ball that is
: approximately 13-inches in diameter.'
: Balls will be inflated to size not pressure. (1.2.2 Basic Gameplay p1)
: Our team has noticed that if the diameter is measured across the
: seam when inflated, the ball ends up being somewhat eggshaped
: and distinctly non-spherical with a long diameter of
: about 14.5 inches measured perpendicular to the seam plane.
: I would expect this after some use ( similar to the 1998 competition,)
: however I would not expect this upon first inflation.

: Are other teams experiencing this?
: or
: Are there some other inflating guidelines besides those I quoted above?
: Any information or insight would be appreciated.

This sounds like a good situation to me! You now have balls which are closer to what you'll be dealing with in the competition than if they were 'perfectly' round.
