And it begins...

Yeah I haven't figured out adult rec games yet. I worked a CPA (yes, accountants) tournament a couple months ago. They complained when they ran into legal defenders and didn't get a call, complained when they were called for obvious fouls. Dudes who played in college complained the most. My partner and I tightened it up, they complained. We loosened it, they complained. Barely worth it, but it was fun to have to deal with adult personalities. One dude lost it, left the gym screaming obscenities after committing an INT and getting a second tech. Fun times!

Guys that play in a regular league not just a one-off tournament seem to have better expectations on legal, illegal, and marginal contact.

And it's obvious, Padgett wasn't his partner!

Hope you are well Mark!

Thanks. I'm doing OK, but it's pretty definite my career consisting of tossing coaches is over.

Hey, maybe you can work the table.

As long as I still get to use a whistle. BTW - I was going to say "as long as I still get to check out the hot moms", but with my heart the way it is, the only thing Viagra is good for is to keep me from rolling out of bed.

We have a good many men's Rec Leagues here - A, B, and C class. A being the better players.

If, and I say, if I do take a men's game, I go for the C games, only because the guys appear to be more into it for the exercise, fun, and camaraderie. These are mostly former HS or juco guys, and many of them are "older" players looking to run a bit on the weekend. I've had some enjoyable times.....for the most part.

Oft times, the "A" games consist of overly-competitive, wanna be's, who think they've still got "it." T's, arguments, fights - no thank you, I'll pass. Life's too short.

Didn't you know that "CPA" stands for "Can't Play at All"?
