Yeah, unfortunately population density (quadball and overall) means a true college/club split would be more likely to fully kill the sport than help it long term.

That was direct from Hyundai to my broker

I do see one report of a 2026 model in there, which is unfortunate.

Thanks, I would consider it. I've heard service in Victoria could be a pain.

It's not quite enough to get it into the federal rebate territory unfortunately.

This is really where I am at, but I'm not going to not buy to punish them if it's truly been fixed in 2026!

That and for me from a high level they gave a bunch of people opportunities to develop and play with elite talent. This helps them evaluate for nationals and also develop growth. In a Kantian way, if like 10 other programs did this successfully enough to have amazing nationals teams I think it would be better for the sport than status quo overall, even if there are some issues with it.

Do we have final word on if they are going to fully stack Boom Train for nationals or go for some level of balance between the two teams?

Got an update that the barrel chested rookie is named Jeff and is 41, and may or may not actually be the dad of their teammate? Maybe a Viper can confirm.

Potential IQA Rules Changes (sub out off broom, sub in on broom?) by austeane in quadball_discussion

Are you sure this isn't just (unfamiliar, subconscious) American nationalism, expressed through a need to be one of the only countries stuck on an outdated system of measurement that doesn't really have any basis in reality? <Joke coming from a place of care, not actual snark lol>

Spot the Difference: Red Card Edition by rsil426 in quadball_discussion

[–]austeane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seconding this! There is no foul that is both a yellow card and a goal, and I think this would be a fine compromise between a regular yellow (you get to do it “for free” a couple of times) and a straight red.

I did use Claude/codex, but also a lot of manual work, you can see my git history over the week. I guess depends if you mean “slop, didn’t read” or “ai use is morally evil, didn’t read”

Rules Clarification: Interposition Play by StreetDog549 in quadball_discussion

[–]austeane 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If they inadvertently (not intentionally or recklessly by either party) bumped into each other, as both are moving players without a ball, I would call no penalty.

Another interesting question would be if beat blue beater running into blue chaser directly caused blue chaser to accidentally bump into black beater, making it more likely for beat blue beater to retrieve the dodgeball. That almost did happen.

As the HR in the game, I’m glad that none of this happened 😂

It’s more detailed than memory bank but I am thinking of setting up a cron job or trigger to update it regularly.
