As far as game pieces go, you may be able to arrange something with the STEMAction center in Columbia. That is where all of the boulders from the CHS 1 field field went. There may be some mockups of the defenses still assembled, but I do not know for how long.

The person leading field reset on the Newton Field was the reason for the caution pinch zone signs on the portcullis.

I'm more interested what's going to happen to the field standards. I saw them spirited away off the stage at the end of the event.

There were a few people who got their fingers crushed this season in the portcullis.

Portcullis victim checking in. Had my fingernail ripped out and fractured two fingers during teardown of a week 5 district. 2.5 hours in the ER on a Sunday night. I've got about two weeks of recovery left on the fractures, and my fingernail should be fully regrown in about two months. The good news is, at least I'm up to date on my tetanus shot now!

I don't think there was any one incident that singlehandedly caused those signs to appear (I first saw them Week 7 at MAR Champs). What I found most shocking was the amount of "Someone hurt themselves at my event too!" comments I received when I posted the above picture on Facebook. Considering I did that at a week 5 event, I was appalled that so many other people had been injured and nothing was done about it until week 7 other than "wear gloves and use a ratchet strap to keep the portcullis open when removing the springs!", which was what the response was after week 5. Granted, I haven't heard of anyone else who had their fingernail ripped off before me, but fractures/breaks are bad enough and IMO there should have been more proactive preventative action after the first incident.

Good riddance to those things.
