it is during the very intense, well played matches that I sometimes wish I lived in another state... as the IHSA does not require the use of line judges during the regular season.

We don't have line judges either in the regular season.

One of the things that made yesterday's match so unbearable was that on Tuesday, I was R2 for a phenomenal -- and intense

-- match between last year's D2 regional champ vs the second place team in their conference, which features a girl who's going NCAA D1 next year.

Wow, talk about requiring a decisive win...

That's way more than a mere super majority, that's like an uber majority or something.

LOL. Sorry about that, I've gone back and fixed it.

I mentioned to my partner this afternoon which match I worked yesterday. (I didn't even blast my negativity onto him, I swear.) He said, "Oh man. Did you feel like quitting when it was done?"

So I guess I wasn't overreacting. That makes me feel a little better about the whole thing.

I can't imagine doing a match without line judges.

Although, with some of the ones that I have had recently, I may have been better off without......

I have to go back to this same school this afternoon.

Hopefully the teams will be less evenly matched this time
