Size of 2X multiplier ball

I was reading the rules, and in the "Arena" section it says that the multiplier balls have a 34" diameter. However, in the "Game" section, it says the diameter is approzimately 30"...does anyone know which is right?

Re: Size of 2X multiplier ball

Hmmmm, Wetzel brings up a good point, the balls will have some room to be squeezed, this might be interesting.

Not only will it be intereseting.... It will be an aspect that many teams will not take advantage of... It may be able to be used very benificiary for teams that are going for those multipliers (For those of you that are not.... Your insane (but insane in the nicest way possible ))

Re: Size of 2X multiplier ball

yes, but what would the squeezing of the balls really do for you? even if you could change the shape slightly because they aren't entirely inflated, they still won't be pliable enough to force inside the PVC goals, at least, i wouldn't be on that.
