    Did I make a bad call as Tournament Director?

    Homemade Ball Polisher, Drill Powered

    Here's a drill powered polisher I came up with that works pretty good. I think it cost about $20, most of that was to buy fidget spinners for bearings, and ready rod for shafts. The rest was scrap I had laying around. Feel free to steal/modify the design. Video: https://youtu.be/mdWtVb2nlsE
