Reader says ,”Playing doubles for pickleball differs significantly from tennis doubles”

Pickleball Court Dimensions 1024x576 1

“I am on the Board or work with a number of tennis/pickleball facilities. Playing doubles for pickleball differs significantly from tennis doubles. With pickleball you have the same 4 players, but you’re playing in a space that’s 40% the size of a tennis court. Due to this reduced space it’s common for players to be within 3-5 feet of each other; and while striving to make the next shot, grunt, talk or otherwise project numerous oral and nasal particles into this reduced space placing their fellow players at risk.
In addition to standard safety practices such as bringing and using hand sanitizers, to play pickleball doubles many clubs have adopted the following rules:
1) Wear masks while playing
2) Bring a ball to be used by team 1 and a separate ball to be used by team 2. Team 2 would not use their hands to touch team 1’s ball and vice versa
3) Players sign a waiver stating that they are playing their own risk and hold their fellow players and the club (or whomever owns the facility) harmless.
These rules are easy to follow and meet the goals of all concerned”

Reader Explains Tinted Windows on Police Cars

“How exactly does a tinted window protect a Police Officer? It’s safe bet.  BetWinner APK скачать . I think most people would have the expectation that the person(s) sitting in the front seat of Police cars would be Police.”

Most ambushes occur where tactical advantage is in the hands of the shooter. Why would you shoot at the windshield where you as the shooter can also be killed. If you cannot see inside the vehicle, what can you target? I think tints don’t go far enough, it should be mirrored. BetWinners , Again the occurrences are so frequent that vehicle manufacturers are installing tints at the factory. Both Chevrolet and Ford now have perimeter sensors for this reason.

“Pickleball for singles is only for world-class players – all other participants (the remaining 99.99% of players) play doubles. So what good does it do to open the pickleball courts if games must be limited to singles? Few, if any, in Ridgewood will be able to play, and the NJ-Nanny-State continues to place undue and uncontitutional demands and restrictions on our freedom of movement and freedom of association.
