Gus Macker

I am a GRIZZLED Macker verteran. But as a player not a Gus Buster or Super Buster. I played in about 4 - 8 of them every summer in college. Top Men's/Women's courts are the only place to play. Everywhere else it is a hack fest and EVERY call is argued.
From my playing experience you will get either great teams or ones that whine about everything. Add the element of heat and a large crowd (depending on where you are at) it can be really fun. Make sure you talk to the "Gus" and the other officials and see what they are and aren't going to call. I know hand checks are rarely called, if at all. Also, on the back's and block/charges are rare. You will get a lot of lip from the "wanna be's" but that is to be expected.
Remeber, have fun, there is no money involved and don't be fooled by the Toilet Bowl Championship game. Usually one team is REALLY intense wanting to win that.
Hope that helps
