Hi!
Thanks for the info. Did the double netting hinder spectating?
: The drawback to the cages used was their size, they would be too cramped for anything but a 3 man. It seems possible though that they could also be built to larger sizes.
Yeah, it might be like sardines for 5-man :)
It seems that due to the structure of the cages, bigger ones would need more vertical space too, which might be a problem indoors.
Were the cages truly freestanding? No external ropes or anything?
