Becasue we're looking for the 2016 game, which ends with 6, I added 2 and 3, two factors of 6, to get 5. The fifth string of letters, "Opafs", brings up this image on Google as the first result. The first name on that chart, Don Larson, when searched on Wikipedia, although it is a different Don Larson, appears to have been a baseball player. Don was born on August 7, 1929. On that same date, Babe Ruth tied the record for grand slams in consecutive baseball games. The total calories of all possible components of a Denny's Grand Slam, ignoring seasonal fruit and yogurt, because you don't go to Denny's to be healthy, is 2710. Google Streetview of 2710, W State St, Milwaukee WI, shows a blue school bus. "The Big Blue Bus" happens to be a nickname of the Kansas City Royals baseball team.

This is a pretty deep hint from the GDC. For all I know, it could go deeper. I can only draw one conclusion from it.

Water Game 2016.
Not sure where you get water from all you wrote, to me it points more to Baseball. I can see "Wiffle Ball" into square, round and trianglular targets. Just as shooting baskets you had to deal with trajectory, the disc have trajectory, try hitting a wiffle ball into a target. You have to have the correct drop and hit placement on the bat. Put the bat into the KOP and put into the rules that the ball must be hit cleanly....not from a cup or pole like "T-Ball" would make for an intersting game. Balls back onto the field like "Break-Away" where they were put on rails and dropped into the center.
Something to think about.
Also, I agree with talking about 2016.....far enough out that GDC probably isn't actively working, yet this year's Freshmen, will be Seniors that year.
