Structural Integrity of Competition Defenses?

[GCarnes]

At Kettering District #1, the low bar fabric was torn to the point that they removed it from both bars with about 5 qualification matches left. The fabric was absent from the elimination matches. Human players were told to not bowl through the low bar. The sally port cover sheet also took some damage from teams running into it. The zip ties would break very often and the whole panel fell off the defense at least one time. The damage on the sally port didn't affect any matches or the event to my knowledge.
