They replace "damaged" floppies, but originally in the competition manual,
it was stated that the floppies unless damaged (and i assumed that to mean
pretty much falling apart) they would be used all day. Now, the floppy that
we got at kick-off is pretty much flat now, from being tossed around, and
played with, and having the peanuts, and I assumed that at the end of a competition
day, the field floppies would be in a similar state. Comments?

: Hi
: To our suprise the floppies at the competition were REALLY STUFFED. That
: was a problem for us because we designed our basket for the floppies we
: had gotten from first (which didn't seem to be very stuffed). So at the
: competition we had a problem in fitting floppies into our basket.

: I think they replace damaged floppies, although there was only one damaged
: floppy in the whole competition as far as I remember.

: CYA + good luck
