If there is a question as to which girl allowed the ball to get through the line, the opposing team decides. Hint: if the girls learn to charge the ball, it gives one of their teammates an opportunity to back them up. Any throw outside the goal posts has no effect.Īs players are eliminated move the goal posts in until the last player has a goal roughly six feet wide. If a ball goes through the line without bouncing, it has no effect. If a player's ball is caught on the fly without bouncing she is out - if it is dropped, she stays in. Dealing with shared holes and ties takes extra thought. Its not really hard to string up IMO just take your time and be careful running the crosses. Have had poor luck with babolat and I dont like the BT7 feel. Got used to the higher launch angle and the massive spin. The ball must bounce in front of the players to count. Been playing gut poly now for several years. The team who loses all its players first loses. The rules are fairly simple: The player who fails to prevent the ball from going past the imaginary line between goal post is out of the game. They can throw as hard as they want (make sure they're spaced far enough apart). To play the game, the girls take turns trying to throw grounders through the opposing line. The goal posts can be buckets, cones, balls, or the parents. Place something two feet from each girl at either end of both lines. Have the teams form two lines about 40 to 60 feet apart, with players shoulder to shoulder three feet apart.

He does not have an estimated completion date at this time. “I wish he would make an app for the BlackBerry,” Henry Jennings (MSB ’13) said.Ĭronbaugh has received requests to create an iOS version of the application that is compatible with iPhones and said that he is in the process of developing it. Other students think that it would be more helpful if the application were available on other smartphones. “It beats having to search for the GUTS bus website on your smartphone” Felicia Charles (COL ’12) said. “I believe that this application will help Georgetown students, staff and visitors make better use of the GUTS buses by more easily being able to access the schedules that they run on,” Cronbaugh said. “Since I started learning Java this semester, which is the language that Android applications are written with, I decided that I could easily create an application that determines the amount of time that I have left before the next bus leaves,” Cronbaugh wrote in an email.Ĭronbaugh pre-released the application on Facebook for about a week and a half before the official release, and reported positive feedback from students using the application.
