In the center of the field is a six foot inner-diameter, eight foot outer-diameter, circle with two foot tall ball posts at each quarter on the clock face. On opposite quarters, there are one and a half foot tall timer block ridges on which you stack the timer blocks. In a match, there are nine yellow timer blocks situated in the middle of the field and fifty-two green timer blocks: eight as preloads for each team and nine situated at each corner of the field. Timer Blocks are in a sand timer shape with a 4 inch length and 3 inch diameter. They are made of a similar hard foam as the stars from the 2016/2017 game, Starstruck and weigh approximately 1.4 lbs. Balls are returning from the 2013 2014 vex game toss up. They have a diameter of 15.5 to 16.5 inches across and weigh approximately 0.9 lbs.
