There is a lot to this. There are also additional factors which come into play as a result of repeated vibration stress and game length. In my own experimental playtest league of last year, I had designed my games for a fast-play system —game lengths of around an hour and a half maximum— and this would tend to minimise these factors. After each game, I take the players off the bases and store them prongs-up so as not to deform them over time. I do not tweak bases or make other adjustments, but I've managed to get more or less consistent performance out of the bases and some surprising results.
