MIDDLE: Olympic rules & standards

[BeckiLib <BeckiLib@AOL.COM>]

Dear 'Netters:

        I'm stumped.  Our 8th graders are participating in a math contest.  One of
the questions they must answer has to do with Olympic set standards for a
ball's bounciness.  They must choose 5 different balls that could be used in
an Olympic competition and then test them to determine if they would be
eligible.

        I've looked in my sport books and we've researched Olympic sites on the
Internet and haven't found anything.  What do you suggest?

TIA
