@spaghettimanpickleball23 күн бұрын
@@duanehensley8835 just 5 years ago, before any attempt at a formulated rating system, tournament directors gave the governing body recommendations for an individuals skill level. They were for life unless you wanted to challenge it at some point. A 5.0 player over 50 years old would mostly lose to the younger 5.0 but not when playing other 50+ players. The new rating systems are based on wins regardless of age. The data is incomplete with no subjective data allowed. In my opinion, it’s made the ratings very confusing for everyone. I would like to see more age based tournaments with pool play followed with an upper and lower bracket playoff.

This was good pickleball! Many points shifted back and forth from one team on offense, to the other ... and back again. IMO, Black and Red made the same tactical error in each game. For some reason, late in each game, Black switched them to having Red play the Left Side. Black is clearly the better Left Side player on that team. Kudos to White, who clearly tweaked his L glute or hammy in the 2nd game, and played tough throughout. Ron, more of these videos, please. They're excellent! (Oh yes. The PPA should pay you to do their videos. Theirs look like security camera feeds...!)

@CWK09029 күн бұрын
I replayed the video at 1/4 speed. A 3:54, the guy in blue steps parallel to, but not on, the NVZ line with his right foot then left foot then steps across the corner of the kitchen with his right foot. There was no foot fault. At 5:39, the lady in white's left foot steps up to the NVZ line but it doesn't look to me like she touches the line. The ref, standing at the net, is in the best position to see a foot fault. The camera view from well behind the baseline is a terrible position to judge a foot fault. Not an issue in this case but one of the many fine points of pickleball rules is the tip of the shoe has to actually "touch" the NVZ line, not simply be over it. Looking at it from above, the tip of a shoe could be over the line while the sole of the shoe at the tip curves up and is not actually touching the line. The ref is in the best position to make that judgement. To answer your question "Is the ref calling the kitchen line?" At 9:58, the ref calls "Foot fault right foot" on the guy with the pink shirt. I haven't seen the entire video. There may be more.
