...I would know...
I know how he feels...this Sat. night it happened to me. Only the 2nd time I can remember it ever happening...but, it happened.
I was very busy Saturday and neglected to drink much water. When I went over to check and sign the books...I couldn't even see my name as I wrote it in the books. I had a couple of partners that I don't usually work with and they don't really have much Varsity experience. I told them they were going to have to "carry me". Their eyes got wide and I wondered then if I should have said anything. This game had two big rivals with one of the teams rated 1st in State.
We got through the 1st Quarter...but, it was somewhat uncomfortable. I told the table crew that I was having trouble seeing. The clock operator gave me a bottle of water and said it might help. I drank it quickly before the 2nd quarter started. By the end of the 2nd quarter I was fine. My partners really stepped it up for the crew...and we ended up having a good game.
Moral of story: keep yourself hydrated on the day of your games...duh!
P.S. chseagle...do you have water ready for stoopid officials, like myself?
This table guy really saved the day.
