Terry Babcock · Fresno 30 September 2010

"Bring back full third set, the only time to cut back is if their is rain delay at nationals even then I think it should be played out, "

"Time is not of the issue. We set aside the time to play and enjoy playing out a full match. It exercises all aspects of our game. When other teams complete matches in two sets, it allows both teams to get together on the sidelines to support and social"
