Re: The airlock area
I believe that the tongs will be used to reach thru the diamond-plate opening. As long as their hands don't break the plane of the diamond-plate opening, they can reach the tongs thru the opening to grab the balls within the triangle.


Question now is, how long are the tongs ...

Re: The airlock area
Heck, we have a camera, can't the camera target the person standing behind the plexiglass? Where a shirt with a big red X then target the X.

I don't remember seeing that excluded in the rules.

The ones at the Kickoff event in Manchester, NH were the 36" variety shown here, with that EXACT manufacturer & EXACT colors (blue, green & silver) shown on this following page:

They look to be about $20-$30 online if you want to buy one to practice with.
