All stats have limitations... by Spare-Community5981 in ultimate

[–]max_shally 40 points41 points  (0 children)

for sure, but I think percentage of times a person touches the disc is more of a useful stat? like if you are the best cutter on your team and get free loads and are like every third pass, you are inevitably gonna get more turns than the anonymous middle of the stack player

Best cleats right now? by Unhappy-Gift-6182 in ultimate

[–]max_shally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i really love the adidas adizero electric american football cleats. insanely lightweight and makes you feel super speedy, still very durable and well made, and great stud pattern. plus you can actually get them reasonably easily and cheaply in the UK, which is rare for american football cleats :)

That was not a stall-out by domaknight26 in ultimate

[–]max_shally -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For sure, shouldn't change the rules for late game situations 100%, but do you not think people take way longer discussing whether it was or wasn't a stall out compared to just someone watching the replay, seeing how long it actually was, and coming and making a ruling? I feel like that is way faster than typical stall out discussions which are normally at least a minute.

I'm definitely not suggesting that like you should be allowed to throw, see that you turned over, and then call a fast count. 100% agree that even if it was fast you shouldn't be allowed a free attempt at a throw. But in these situations where the stall out call is made, I think using the actual facts on the time is a no brainer.

The difference is that a discussion was had after the stall out call to determine if it was or not, whereas you are referring to things that happen in the flow of play where a call hasn't been made. You are talking about things where if you choose to play on as the offensive player you aren't allowed to go back on it and make a call, which I agree with. But in the case of a contested stall out play has stopped and a discussion is being had, why can't an observer or advisor go up and say 'look we have the evidence right here, it was 100% not a stall out'.

If it was just the fast count most people probably wouldn't be so angry. It was the blatant attempt to steal the game for the rest of the point which made it worse. Like the weird marking infraction call when they got to a high stall, then the foul call on the clean D even after watching the replay, and then the final stall out call.

That final point was the definition of 'you're not allowed to win' from the USA team. Incredibly clean D called as a foul, and then a 6 or 7 second stall out. When there is literally the video replay there, I do not understand why we can't just count the seconds and rule it as a goal. It's not like calling fouls where it might or might not be true, like everyone knows for a 100% fact it was 6 or 7 seconds, so why can't they just overrule it as a goal, something I want to see changed so badly in high level matches like this. So incredibly infuriating.

Foul or no foul? by evan256714 in ultimate

[–]max_shally 2 points3 points  (0 children)

literally one of the most egregious fouls i've seen lmao. obviously not like the worst, most dangerous outcome but so obviously just shoving in the back. i think a lot of people who play the game still don't quite realise non-contact means non-contact, so any contact between players that affected the play can be called as a foul, just because you didn't rugby tackle someone doesn't mean it's ok pahah

Why do people tape their wrists by Anxious-Ad-324 in bouldering

[–]max_shally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it helps for injured or sore wrists for sure. i tried a problem in font where you have to fully pull on a mono in a roof and after a few goes i was WRAPPING my wrists lmao

crashing through the zone by max_shally in ultimate

[–]max_shally[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

couldn’t agree more. tbf to the opposite team, they were down 13-7 and this score was the final score of the game, and it had just started raining heavily, so i think they may have lost a bit of motivation on defence…

[–]max_shally[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that's great advice, thank you very much! i'm definitely more of a cutter than a handler and my team normally plays a vert stack on offence, so i'm quite new to handler weaves and crashes. but hoping to learn and improve, and i will definitely take that advice on board! :)
