Game Ramps

[KaraW]

Thanks! So it appears the ramps are made of High-density polyethylene.

There are no ramps; there are Bridges. Just sayin', in case you want to search the rules.

For those at Kickoff sights that reported here, were those official field elements or team-build field elements? They may act differently because of different materials.

I should probably clarify - I think I read the original question wrong. The top surface of the bridge is the HDP. The rest of the bridge is aluminum. If you're looking for further specs, check out the field drawings starting at GE-12017.

If you're asking about the fenders (ramps on either end of the field below the baskets), those are made of plywood.

It says that the bridge deck (Item 1 on the game Specific Drawings) is made of HDPE. The bridge surface (Item 4 on the game Specific Drawings) is above that and is only described as "bridge surface." I'm stil wondering if that is also HDPE or something different.

UPDATE: The bridge surface is CLEAR POLYCARBONATE.

Actually, I believe the top surface is clear polycarbonate. The drawing for it (Bridge Surface, GE-12095) is separated from the rest of the bridge drawings. It lies above the HDPE (Bridge Deck, GE-12018), as shown in the Assembly drawing (GE-12017). Ah, the joys of a hundred pages of technical drawings.

It appears that the Bridge Deck (GE-12018) is HDPE but it appears that there is a Bridge Surface level above that (GE-12095) is made of clear polycarbonate.

Y'all are right. Sorry about that. I should stop reading drawings so quickly
