not a bad idea but certainly not infallible. did anyone else notice that the sidelines - where people not playing a point ran up and down - were perhaps the muddiest part of the pitch area?
it was certainly the case between pitches 1 & 2 where we played on Sunday morning. Also alongside pitch 4 it was such a quagmire that I managed to slide so far out the side of the pitch that only a stone path could provide enough friction to stop me (ouch). Perhaps the easiest solution (without TD's having to predict the weather and/or have extra marks put on in case) would be for teams to take responsibility for this themselves. i.e. if you cannot locate a brick mark on your pitch then - after the 1st time you've paced it out - mark the location on the sideline using anything you choose (bag, bottle, injured sub, one of those stupid chavs who kept nicking cones....) > From: Oscar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [BD] Brick marks in the mud > Basically the same way the problem is dealt with at Beach Ultimate > tournaments then? > Definitely not a bad idea in my opinon.
