The geniuses who decided to install the 11 point PAR system in the USA should be excoriated.The former 15 point system was better by a country mile- you got that right. Further, There are going to be some matches finished in 7 minutes in the juniors. At least hardball doubles has kept the traditional scoring system, to which the phrase If It Ain't broke don't fix it, applies brilliantly. I keep hoping for some POSITIVE changes being made by the USSRA or the PSA- like speeding up the ball a little bit to allow for increased winners. Instead decisions like throwing Railstation ( in which a small fortune was spent on development) under the bus are implimented. Why??? Jimbo- how right you are.

Unfortunately, he died of cancer shortly later. One double matchpoint that, at least in retrospect, I am glad that I lost was in a PSRA A league match when I lost to Kit Spahr.
