I still do not like the 2-whistle mechanic. It's not because of the trail but the lead. On a FT, I actually backed out of the lane opposite table in a 3-whistle game last night.
I had a run of about 3 2-whistle games and I guess it rubbed off. My partners had a good laugh and I was embarrassed.
For years, I have gone tableside as lead on a FT whether it is 2-whistle or 3-whistle. Now they change it on me. I want it changed back!
