Good point Bob given the relative size differences between women's and men's balls.

Low balling a bit bob.

The current parquet floor consists of 264 panels held together by wood planks and brass screws with the help of an additional 988 bolts. When constructed for home games, the floor is pieced together by a group of TD Banknorth Garden workers known as the "Bull Gang."

close on the bolts though!

2700 was my guess - 300 square inches of surface area on a 10" diameter ball with 9 dimples per inch...
