For me boards were a real issue at london open this year, dangerous for players and crowd and really hard to play: no bounces and snaky shape of the courts. Hopefully nothing bad really happens. I thought players knew that checking people into these was kind of unsafe so we didn't see to much pushing in the boards play, but every time it happens, the shape of the courts moved.
If you use thin boards for sur you have to provide a frame behind to make them more rigid. But yes that's more expensive.
Sandbag looked useless too, provide step for spectator for using them as bigger sandbag.
Was it impossible to get the board from LO 2011 back?
