Thanks

The "standard" competition tape is actually gaffers' tape. It's better than duct tape, primarily because it doesn't leave a residue. However, the GDC has stated that the tape for the Regolith is a fiberglass tape (and I'm not sure they've spec'd it more closely than that yet.)

Not in this context. Back in 2006, the center goals had a tendency to jam if, say, 217 or 25 or 254/968 or 1114 or some of the other really good shooters let fly at them, particularly if there was more than one. To make it easier to clear the jams, one particular volunteer at each end of the field had a long pole to stir them up and clear them. That pole is the "pokey-pokey stick" referred to.
