Curious if other communities have "house rules" for playing pick-up/without a ref.
For example, here in Chicago when we play B/B+/BB-ish pickup, we don't award points for side sets over even if intention was to set a partner - we just consider it a dead ball. We've pretty much just all accepted it's too hard to self ref "intention"
I just lost my dad at age 29, and lost my mom when I was little. I'm just really struggling with this life transition as an only child without any other family. I have an incredible chosen family and support system, but I feel no one can really understand this pain and loneliness I'm feeling right now, so it there's anyone else out there who may be in the same boat of being in their 20s & 30s without any parents or family, I'd love to connect.
I've been looking for a support group without much luck. While there are a few for young adults experiencing loss, I just feel like this completely untethered feeling is a unique experience and much different than losing one parent. If anyone has any recommendations in that department, I'm also all ears. Open to starting my own if I can connect with the right people.
