I, with some of my partners, started a little deal last year, or so, about out of bounds, and why are you blowing my line?
We all get a little (not a big deal) aggravated, especially in the 3-man, when some guy blows the OOB whistle as if we aren't even on the floor.
To alleviate that little problem, we have initiated a 25 cent line fee for losing concentration in that aspect of our games.
This little agreement also forces us to slow our whistles down, just a tad.
Of course, sometimes we are really happy when our partner blows it for us. In those instances, we use the honor system of "You don't owe me" and "Thanks for gettin' that!"
