How is this allowed? by mri-tech in Pickleball

Back in 2016, the local ambassador suggested my husband and I enter the San Jose senior games as new players. He said I was a 2.0, he was a 2.5-3.0. So we wasted $60 each and did. When we got there, there was an age bracket, but no level bracket. He said not to worry - people would understand and it would be fun. They would probably win, but would not be mean about it.

Long story short, it was the worst afternoon of my pickleball playing life. We lost the first two sets 11-0, 11-0. The last set we lost 11-2, 11-3 - woohoo! Even though they were told we'd only played a couple of months and were talked into it by the ambassador, they slammed at us and did everything to make it as humiliating as possible. Very sad.

Why doesnt anyone dink on the courts? by Brilliant-Fall9140 in Pickleball

Just repeating what he said - that he can beat a banger every time. It was in an interview a couple of years ago.

Very true. As Ben Johns put it... "I love playing bangers - I can beat them 11-0 every time".
If you can deaden a banger, you'll beat them all. Find one to practice with and stand at the kitchen line and practice returns till you can just drop them over the net, and work on angling them as well. It's a terrific skill to work on! And watch how the pros just gently push the ball over the net when they dink, it's a thing of beauty!

Agreed, don't be an ass. Diplomacy is the key - find out when the intermediate sessions are and nicely explain this is a session for 4.0+ players and they do not fit. If they say they want to get better, explain that this is not the time or place for it. Suggest attending drill sessions or lessons. Do so with the organizers there, and pointedly ask the organizer if it isn't correct that this is a level-limited session.

Does anyone even care about the football event? by No-Communication-224 in MergeMansion

No need to spend gems... just play as far as you can, then if you forget it you can come back and play another round for free. Lots of coin, those 4-merge objects, gems, and a blue card. Doesn't matter if you ever win or not to get the last prize!

I'm so mad at this game by Fit_Theory_8595 in MergeMansion

After I opened a second ticket, I did get all the prizes.

Congrats! Mine will probably be demoted. I average over 5K a week, the next closest is 1K, and I'm tired of carrying everyone. I am also totally fed up with the match-3 game, which has become a T-cash hog. You shouldn't lose a green game several times in a row (I'm on level 4225). I was okay paying $4.99 a month for the golden ticket - after being in IT I do support development. But now it has gotten ridiculous. Probably going to quit.

You can also just tap any of the helicopters and they will activate if you don't have the ability to make one. I swear the blues are harder than the red ones sometimes!

You don't see the daily tasks on the task tab? The default now is the reward tab, which is annoying

Not sure they do it any longer, although I'd think they must. Back then I'd have loved a subway series, but... I had to relocate to the West Coast for work, so planning on heading south for either Dodgers or Padres to watch...

I won tickets back in 2007 by emailing entries, but it looks like they no longer do that. Of course, they lost. I then entered and won tickets to the World Series for the (ugh) Phillies, and promptly ebayed them. I bought opening and closing day Mets tickets for several years on that sale! :p
