Wrong move.

Once the ball came on the court, it was probably five seconds before I heard someone mention the six players. Then I counted again.

The sixth player didn't legally play the entire game. I wonder what made him think he was in the game.

Ugh.

Live and learn. And be aggressive about keeping the hand up and the ball dead until *I'm* ready.

Had that mistake today. It won't ever happen again. I stopped play, partner is looking at me, I'm counting the players, people are laughing, I recounted. Damnit, a screw up. We just re did the throw in.
