Go back and read the thread, Smit. You started the logical leaps by claiming that I "have fun" handing out technical fouls. It all went downhill from there.

Anyway, that's neither here nor there. I agree with your post.

Thank you - I think there was some miscommunication in the other thread and I didn't really mean what you think I meant, but I'm not going to dredge up all of that again. I have some big tournaments this weekend and next. I'm going to pay attention to how my partners and I work our areas and see if I would change my mind about any of these points.

One thing I agree with you wholeheartedly about is discussing this in your pregame with your partner(s)*. It's really important, no matter which philosophy you choose, that you're both (or all three) on the same page.

Again, agreed.

I've worked with some partners probably just as or even more experienced than our friend MTD, and I've had this pre-game discussion with them as well. Kind of strikes me as funny that MTD gets all bent out of shape when none of these partners ever did. They never made my game "a living hell" either. I actually really enjoyed them and learned a lot.

Strange teaching method, if you ask me.

Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg is a lake in the town of Webster, Massachusetts, located near the Connecticut border. It is often cited as the longest place name in the United States and one of the longest in the world.

The name comes from the language of the local Nipmuc people. The lake was an important fishing spot on the borders of several tribal territories. Algonquian speaking peoples had several different names for the lake as recorded on old maps and historical records. However, all of these were similar in part and had almost the same translation. The translation of the name of the lake is believed to be, "You fish on your side, I fish on my side, and nobody fish in the middle".

Well, that's fine for the lead and trail, but what about the center?

The Nipmuc tribe used two-person mechanics. That's all they had back then.
