Potential Alternatives To Notes

Hi All!
I thought this might be useful to people to have, especially low resource teams :grin:
Here’s one I found this morning:Rainbow Rings Foam Set
The diameter is the same, and the material looks identical.
I have reached out to the supplier to inquire about weight and width, but won’t likely hear back until Monday.
Feel free to post other alternatives below!

Nope. Is it just for me?

It’s working on my end- so not sure why it’s not working for you : (

Working for me as well :+1:

Thanks Bryce! :slightly_smiling_face:

Blocking Israeli IPs maybe?

Yeah, that was my thinking

Similar product from another source.

That’s awesome, thank you!

And NOTE is in all caps, so it must be referring to the game piece in the manual.

im also getting 405 errors with the first 2 links

I have seen that some US retailers block connections from out of US IP addresses, biggest example is Home Depot, I think this Gopher Sport brand is doing the same, a VPN should solve the issue. If the object can be found on amazon, it would be beneficial for Turkish teams, since amazon handles the customs fees upfront, and no brokerage is needed(under 150€).

In the link, it doesn’t say if the measurements are the outer diameter or inner diameter. The official one says 14" OD and 10" ID

If you scroll down, it gives you two options- one for a 14” OD and one for a 10” OD :slightly_smiling_face:

I just looked at michaels ones in person and they are rigid foam, nothing like the real notes.

According to AnyMark, Gopher Sport is the source of the notes so these are probably the exact same object as the notes. That being said, if you get the 14in rings (same size as notes) then the cost is about the same as ordering the notes in bulk from AndyMark.
