What sportsmanship is about...

[lspencer534]

If you haven't seen this, let me set it up for you: This was at the Hopman Cup a few months ago. Lleyton Hewitt served to Jack Sock, but the serve was called a fault because it was out. Jack Sock yelled at Hewitt that the serve was in and to challenge the call. Hewitt did challenge, video showed the serve was in.

at this morning's IDPA pistol match, first guy up has problems with his pistol. won't feed, won't eject. he's about ready to call it a day. so i ask him if he wants to borrow my spare pistol (Colt Commander 45acp). uh, sure. i hook him up, we go back to shooting the match. my pistol breaks (little roll pin that holds the sight in). i quickly fix it temporarily with part of a paper clip. i keep shooting too.

pretty sure that when the scores are totaled and posted later, he will have beat me. with my own pistol. but he got to shoot a full match like everyone else. i'm going to call that sportsmanship. i also pointed out a missed shot that the scorer was about to overlook. added 5 seconds to my time (that's bad). :(

i shot pretty well, except for shooting the 'no shoot' targets. sigh. 3 times....sighx3.

When I played tennis in high school, each player made the calls on their opponent's shots. So if you made bogus calls, he had the opportunity to do it right back to you. It was the best officiating I have ever seen in any sport.
