Re: The Pits

Hi Gary,
Agreed. Each team needs to assume that the pit perimiter will be GREATER than the table size.....now, that would be funny!

Anyways, except for the Atlanta championship, there doesn't appear to be a guideline for pit size. If a team was to procure one of those pop-up tents or pop-up backdrops, it would be good to NOT have it too big which would encroach on your neighboring pits......and that's not "gracious professionalism" unless your a landlord mogul like Donald Trump!

I'd have to build a pit that is 10'x10' only to find that it's too big for most regionals, etc. Anyone else got input on this?
