With the exception of the time Tyra beat her in singles, I think ALW has handled losing just fine - I wouldn't expect her to be all happy or bubbly about it.
@LavinaThomas yes and she's apologized for that numerous times. I hate it when players fake it that they are happy if they lose. One reason I like Lea Jansen too. She's real and doesn't fake anything
I was at MLP Orlando all 3 days. I arrived 2 hours early to make sure I got a seat, and even then it was starting to fill up. Anyone arriving less than an hour early was relegated to standing room only. 6 people deep in some places. The real issue is that fully 1/3 of what would have been available seating was blocked by the VIP and Owner/Sponsor sections, which not only eliminated the areas behind each baseline but also created obstructed viewing for people who had seats in the corners. Those areas didn't cause issues at larger venues like Atlanta and Dallas, but championship court at USTA is much smaller so a lot of people paid for courtside seats and ended up with obstructed, standing room only seats.
Overall I had an amazing time at MLP. Super happy I went and got really lucky to sit in VIP when someone gifted me a ticket. It’s true that fan experience wasn’t well thought out. The only people that could actually see were the VIP and second - fourth rows in the middle. And to get those seats people got there 2 hours early. So 75% of people had an obstructed view. First row it was blocked by the video screens and anywhere else that wasn’t right in the center of the stadium had a blocked view. My other critique is how the sides of the pickleball turned into carpet at the ends - because it looks so dangerous for the players who ran into it All the players were amazing and loved watching everyone compete their hearts out
Zane confirmed that it was PickleRoll Surfaces. He said that they were actually installed really well and there were no issues with them or bad bounces. He only said that there wasn’t enough space for the crowds that wanted to attend.
We were going to use a different major brand temporary nets. At an indoor facility, got them did not like them. We were able to borrow some C&D Nets off somebody that had some in storage, and they are fabulous
Zane posted an MLP finals recap UA-cam video and explained the weekend in context. At 5:50 of his video he explains why ALW & Howells weren’t at the award ceremony.
Great analysis, thank you! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Gladiator Ge was probably taken from Arizona Pickleball League season 2 where Augie helped lead the Gilbert Gladiators to an undefeated season including winning the Orchard Cup. . . . MLP could learn A LOT from the Arizona Pickleball League!
Jimmy, I agree. I think Zane gave Tyra and Augie a “left handed compliment”. I think his implied comment was he didn’t think that they play well. Hooray for Augie and Tyra. All that chirping and arrogance ( especially Will Howells, in my opinion) didn’t secure them a championship. TG, Focus on skill not your mouth or size of your ego. 🫤😮
If the losers weren’t supposed to stay, then it’s fine for waters and Howells to leave. However, it didn’t look good. It just makes her, and him look like poor sports.
Dave Fleming would be better out of commentating. His style is tired and outdated. Too many Clichés and Dad Jokes that are not funny, especially when you over use them.
I am so happy that the Flash won. Great players, great chemistry.
A lighted KOTC sign on the wall would definitely class up your set.
Good take on ALW not staying. Was hoping you weren't going to crap on her like most others are.
With the exception of the time Tyra beat her in singles, I think ALW has handled losing just fine - I wouldn't expect her to be all happy or bubbly about it.
I don't like ALW's not staying due to her other behavior when she loses, this just reinforces my opinion of her - a sore looser and a spoiled brat.
@LavinaThomas yes and she's apologized for that numerous times. I hate it when players fake it that they are happy if they lose. One reason I like Lea Jansen too. She's real and doesn't fake anything
@@outabout8125her owner literally told her and Howells it was ok to leave. Don't be such an ass.
Jimmy:
"OK, you two make sense."
"Anna Bright, Bishop- a steward of her people.".
Fantastic.

The sunset was unreal
Love the hat Jimmy... Way to rep the Bay 👏👍💯
Rounders is amazing

Bring MLP to Charleston SC - We have the facilities on Daniel Island
Colorado and Utah are both cold in December.
The wire... so good

I can't find the holey performance website
Love AL & Howles not getting championship !
Tyler's shirt looks like the North Korean Pres a little

The Wire 🔥 and Rounders 🔥

@@elainesandobal6863 Maybe. But it was accurate. Especially Augie, that's about as well as I've seen him play.
Let's go!
JW, No way...#1 player would be someone who can play well with someone who is not their PPA partner!

I don't think there's any reason for them to stay. It's about the winners at that point - let them have their moment.
Their owner literally told them it was ok to leave.
Who’s better at MTG? J dub or Ben?
Jorja went 5-3 against AL in the second dreambreaker.

You should have dropped a short clip about stack Black Friday special before Friday…🥲🥲
