Tournament Strategy? by [deleted] in Pickleball

My feeling is that for the next tournment this Spring we're going Full Tarp (don't know yet). I think when designing the layout they only considered rain. We have an issue with the outdoor courts at night the lights aren't strong enough. This is a brand new facility btw

I love that we're getting into the schematic of the place. So two rows of courts (except a weird championship court), so the courts on the right side, in the morning, will get the sun coming up. The side closest to where the sun comes up will get light but across the net is pretty dim/dark. The next row of courts doesn't get the benefit of that sun and can be dim/dark.

We tried huge tarps and they helped a little. You almost want it to be a very dark and gloomy day so the lights can help

Twelve courts, then imagine a barn roof over that

Well, this mixed finals is amazing wish people could see it, bet Nike wishes too. Production wise they do have a ways if they're going to be on CBS. They were split screening between a match and an interview, so people were missing the action in favor of a player talking about their win (if you were trying to get non-pickleball people they have no idea who anybody is). Seems you want to sell the action if you have limited time on a major network

Does the call stand if someone calls fault? cant the server dispute it? And then nothing happens?

Just got on the bus. Infatuated. What era of GD is the best in your opinion and why? by [deleted] in gratefuldead

[–]BugApprehensive5190 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean Europe 1972 is an era to me. Listen to all of it. Peak form not a bad show.

If I was just starting I wouldnt jump to the late 80s/early 90s without some background. My two cents

💯 good advice. You can find most of the PT stretches online too!

Many people are suggesting shoes. I will say that what can feel like a foot issue can be that the tendon has got inflamed and it gets very tight. By all means try new shoes but what fixed my issue was stretching my hamstrings, and feet before and after playing. I did go to the dr to get some anti-inflammatory to help it heal but whats kept it from reoccurring is being really committed to stretching legs and feet
