This may indeed be true, but this stadium may offer some of the older formats something different than what TT burst stadium can.  Also, this can be seen as an alternative and not a replacement.  I don’t believe I mentioned anything about trying to replace any stadiums currently in use in any of the formats.

I also agree. It would be possible to add to something like classic.
However we also need to consider the ramifications of having only 2 Pockets.
I always considered TT's 3 pocket 3 wall design as good as the wall rebound was put equally as the KO chance.
With only 2 Pockets would there be a change?

Plus there are literally no Hasbro stadiums for most of Asia and the only one they sell is the basic Yellow one.

The different number of pockets is a big change.  The Pro Series Stadium of course has 4 pocket and not 2 as you can see in any of the videos posted above.  I think I understand what you mean, it is a even number of pockets or 2 pockets on 2 sides. 

Also, it is interesting to note that the new rumored burst stadium coming out in a few weeks will have 2 pocket (even numberof pockets).

I think the Pro Series Stadium isn’t something that everyone needs to get.  If it can be used competitively along with other stadiums that are already used competitively, that would be great.   It is certainly not something that a competitive player has to have.

Yea I meant that, sorry for the confusion.
Ye also I was wondering whether the new stadium will replace the standard stadium under WBO rules? From the leak it looks like it has 2 ridges, and from the B-19 stadium I realised that 2 Pockets is much harder to KO.

Did RDF feel like it was at an advantage?

But MFB has different stadiums.

I am very aware of that. He did battles with each of the formats (including MFB), to give a small glimpse at how ALL the formats would look in the PS stadium. I just made an observation about how the PS stadium might influence the MFB format.

Are people even reading/paying attention to the OP?

I think if you check back, you will see that in each of my replies to you, I have stated or implied this stadium would not replace standard stadium.

I will throw this thought in....I would not consider the PS more widely available than the standard burst stadium. Here is why, TT has done MULTIPLE releases of the burst standard stadium, and usually does with whatever stadium is current. Hasbro has a tendency to NEVER rerelease a stadium. So it may be widely available for a bit, but based on history, don't expect it to always be there. I remember back in MFB days, people were pushing a particular Hasbro stadium to be legal (thunder whip, I think), and by the time a decision was to be made, you couldn't find that stadium anywhere.

Just food for thought. I wouldn't want the WBO to declare it legal after it's been out for a time and then impossible to find.

Hey, so will official WBO Tourneys use this stadium? Or any other stadium really, as long as it's TT or Hasbro?
