2002 Game Brainstorming

[Dave...]

Ping pong balls, tennis balls and hockey pucks have been on my mind the past two years. To say that footballs are too difficult to handle for many teams seems to only encourage Dean and Woodie to maybe consider such an item. This is supposed to be a challenge, right?

The only problem I see with ping pong and tennis balls is their size. The drivers would have a hard time even seeing them, and resetting the playing field after every match might be cumbersome.

I would like to get away from the balls...maybe something more like foam cubes that you have to stack... Or, if you want some involvement of water, how about carrying water balloons across the field?? (just kidding, really bad idea).

Having a playing field where the teams can play and set-up simultaneously (like the past two years) really seem to help speed up the competition. Now, if we could only get the scoring to be more simplistic so that the ref's don't have to take so long, then we'd be in business!
