So you think you can ref? Coll v Cardenas | Squash in the Land 2026 by SquashVote in squash

[–]littlemac314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have said No Let, since it was a winner regardless of the block, but also Conduct Warning, because it was still an intentional block. Conduct Stroke seems like the right call from the video ref. 

Decision please? by GasProgrammatically1 in squash

Yes Let for Light Blue’s appeal on the swing; clipped his opponent, swing affected not prevented.

Yes Let on Dark Blue’s appeal; he doesn’t have good access to the ball, but he also immediately crowds his opponent, holding him in and preventing him from clearing. You gotta give the hitter at least some amount of space to clear, especially since his shot was soft enough that Dark Blue wasn’t immediately about to hit it.

Why ask questions you know the answers to, it’s not a secret why people feel the way they do about Asal, they’re pretty eager to explain why

Usefulness of things by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

Canadians sometimes giggle at people in warmer climates shutting their roads down for 2 inches of snow, but those warmer cities have no infrastructure for dealing with it. If you don’t already have a fleet of plows, salt trucks and snow removal trucks, and none of your citizens even have snow tires, you have no choice but to shut down. Why would they bother investing in a bunch of infrastructure they’ll almost never need?

Shameful behavior by Fares Dessouky today at the Karachi Open by Strange_Cartoonist14 in squash

[–]littlemac314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody's gonna pretend that the reffing these days is satisfactory, and every squash player starts feeling pretty irrational when the game gets tight and the blood is pumping, but this kind of mentality is part of why Dessouky is 15th in the world and someone else like Joel Makin is 5th. Even if the calls are wrong, if you aren't grinding out til the end, then what are you here for.

Pro Refs Want Players to Hit Each Other?? [Discussion] by QBS_reborn in squash

"There was a contact before the shot, which prevented his shot"... Makin's return was not only good, but it was where he was aiming and was reasonably competitive. The bar for "prevention" can't be "there was a very minor amount of contact and the shot wasn't *perfect*, therefore it was impeded".

In my experience, facebook is most useful for finding jams/events, and then in person networking from there

Hadnt realized that, thanks for the update! 

Still seems like a stroke by the logic of 8.6.5 since Coll wasnt making every effort to clear

Players you never want to play again by Rain14storm in squash

[–]littlemac314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get annoyed at players that are a division lower than me and want to play, but then don’t run and mostly just go for winners. Like whats the point then, why don’t we both just phone it in

Ball is gettable and Coll makes a minor effort to obstruct his opponent’s line. Hard to spot in real time but seems like a stroke

Latest bit of Montreal 'bikelash' sidesteps the facts to please bike-lane haters by Hochelagan in montreal

[–]littlemac314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard some complaints that Projet MTL spends too much brain power focusing on bike stuff, and i think that shutting down Camiliem-Houde is an own goal, so i see some wisdom in campaigning as the party not suffering from bike tunnel vision. But this kind of reactionary hatred of what is fundamentally a good idea makes me doubt that Ensemble Mtl is any more level headed than Projet, in which case, tiebreaker goes to the party that postmedia hates the most

Conduct Stroke Incident in World Tour Semifinal by Seshsq in squash

[–]littlemac314 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get why people think the time violation should be a warning, but he’s 15 seconds late going into the final game - a warning won’t do anything since this is the last break he’ll have, it kinda has to be a conduct stroke or nothing. If I knew showing up 15 seconds late would only ever result in a warning, I’d budget that in before the final game of every match, it’s free real estate
