Good job at the tournament. Teamwork is so important and being with an ad hoc team like that makes it more impressive. :thumbup:

Thanks and I hear ya on the side coaching. Nothing to be done about it but at least they only allow it on one side of the field. When in Rome ...

Ramping isn't full auto but you can make a case that its very similar. You just have to be able to pull the trigger fast enough initially to engage it. From then on its continuous @ the 12.5 bps as long as you pull the trigger like one per second. Yup, I don't like it either.

Thanks and yes its very hard to beat teams that have a regular roster and compete regularly. We only play 2 or 3 tournaments a year and its with whoever happens to be available. I don't have the time or energy to commit to the regular team grind every weekend. I'll be 49 this year and I'm thinking its not gonna get any better. LOL!

BTW .. if anyone has Facebook, please "like" my friend May Lynn Zhang at https://www.facebook.com/MayLynnZhang. Thanks to all!
