Quiz: How Competitive are you?

Recently, a post was made on the Smack Board
complaining about teams not using strike mats for games. That obviously launched a plethora of debate about strike mats, game speed, realistic play, and in one post, Ryan Seacrests sexual orientation...don't ask. So let's put it to you, using a series of softball oriented questions, you can decide how competitive you may or may not be. Here it goes:

Do you show up 45 minutes early and doing a warm up lap followed by a robust calisthenics routine?

Do you wear color coordinated socks, shorts, shirt and hat? wear baseball pants? Flip up shades?

Do you bring a strike mat and insist on using it?

Do you make your opponent write down their lineup, then track the lineup to make sure no illegal subbing takes place?

Do you hold your subs out against "better" teams and in some cases not play them at all?

Do you you stand in the outfield and argue with the out calls made by the unofficial umpires, also know as "base coaches"?

Do you take the extra base in the 7th inning up 27-4?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be competitive.

On the flip side:

Do you show up between 6:29 and 7:45 for a game that's supposed to start at 6:30?

Do you wear flip flops to play in?

Do you interact more with the beer cooler than your glove during a game?

Do you forget you're supposed to be in the field?

Do you roll your eyes at the guy who brings the strike mat?

Do you try to tell the other team they can just have the win and get them to go to Cap Lounge after the 1st inning when you're losing 0-17?

Do you find yourself thinking about anchoring your flip cup team at the lounge when you are standing in the OF and a ball is flying over your head?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may NOT be competitive.

The great part about both these quizzes? This is the House Softball League, you can be as competitive as you want, play who you want, or not even play and just show up for beer. This is the unique quality that makes this league so fun, it's got something for everyone and everyone can have fun being themselves.
