What do you do if your opponent thinks you called the ball out but you didn't? What if someone touches the net? Does it matter if the ball is still in play? What happens if a ball hits a portable scoreboard? Do Carolyn and Erin have a problem and are thinking about these situations too much? =)

Thanks again to Leah for all these great questions!

What should you do if your opponent yells watch out when you are hitting an overhead? What happens if your opponent's shoe falls off during a point? What if your dampener flies off? What if the dampener hits the net? Carolyn and Erin discuss these rules and more!

What has your doubles partner said to you that wasn't very helpful? Did it hurt your feelings?

We are replaying a few of our most popular episodes! We believe this one has been popular because most adult rec players have been given unsolicited advice. We all have played from levels 2.5-4.0 so some of the things we have been told is a little silly (and sometimes hurtful)!
