APA Sharking Question

[trob]

Nobody likes to blame themselves for missing a easy shot, right? It seems obvious that she was trying to place the blame on you. Talking to your captain between shots is not against the rules. Sometimes people will walk in front of shots. It happens. If anybody has poor sportsmanship it should be her.

no one said it's against the rules ... it's etiquette. you stay sitting while someone is at the table.

You got to remember when playing apa .. your dealing with A LOT of inexperienced players. there new to the game. like the poster they didn't mean to do it..they didn't know better. Ive captained teams with people who did what this guy did and I educate when it happens. Let them know thats it's not expectable and you should stay still.

Ill have to check the rules but I know during tri cups in between shots you can't stand with your team in case someone try's to coach. you have to call a time out if you want to coach. I don't know if this is an apa rule or just something our operators do.

The only way I move during a game is if I realize in a tight are that I'm going to be in the other players direct line of site.. and if they go down on the shot before I can move I stay statue still and look away, If they miss I want it to be because they hit it wrong..not because I was doing anything to throw them off.

We are always with our teams when not shooting, yes, coaching...even at tri cup. I haven't ever been told you can't. We make it a point to have our lower level players hang with one of us so that we can help them, and actually teach them some, as well.

There's only so much coaching you can do during the other players turn, mostly general scenario points, as the layout will have changed when its your shooters turn.

we are allowed the same all the way to the tri cups. ltc's however are different.

no talking to any player during his match is allowed except for time outs and in between racks....while the racking is occurring. i belive the penalties for violating this rule is a warning the 1st time a bih foul 2nd time and a sportsmanship foul the 3rd.

i had that issue come up during my match in ltc's. my opponent was talking with his captain while i was shooting and i warned him not to do it again. he replied he was allowed to do that if he was not shooting. i replied both of yall better read the rules right in front of you before i continue.. they read the rule and apologized to me.

finals are even stricter.

the 2 opponents are seated away from the teams entirely and no talking at all with team mates except during time outs. the lo is standing there to observe the entire match. the lo also racks every rack him self using the magic rack.
