We got 22 straight lined ones in Canada. Looks like majority up here are the straight variety by talking to other teams

I believe we have managed to get a replacement for ours that shipped with a hole.
So C. undulatus was an undesirable invasive species after all… It must have snuck in through shipments due to confusion with the closely related C. lineatus.

2 wavy in KOP, 10 straight from pre-order. Not sure we’ll need that many now, but oh well!
My 20 from AndyMark came in and were all the Straight lines not wavy so I have 22 straight lines and 1 wavy. (We popped a wavy in some testing)

Pretty sure this is pretty standard mold behaviour throughout a production run, at least as far as I know. If HQ says anything at all on this (which I doubt, but who knows, they have been very open with gampiece concerns) I suspect they will just say “variation exists”. Although if the balls behave substantially different with strong vs weak hatching then we have a bigger problem.
It would be nice to know if the official fields have early or late stage production from molds, but I would be surprised ^ if we got that.
^to be fair, I was not expecting sales numbers last time around so

I just hope they aren’t too different so that teams can still accurately expect algae behavior.
