    Dear Charles/Rudolf/Naveen/John

    I am a great fan of Daiji, and saw this article and all debate. I would say instead we say good luck to the organisers, we fry our bun on others pan. Do you think such a big event is organised without considering the out comes? I can see super experienced people who played and organized mega events. Do you think you guys are scholars of throwball and organizers are puppets? Simple dont make a hiararchy on this issue. What is your problem, on my observation you should mention your full name, contact number and which team you belong is the basic. if you are a fan then only comment dont suggest. Dont be petti coat supporters

    I think Mr. Rudolf, Kirem/Dubai has a genuine comment and the organizers may consider. Regarding referees...any good referee may make a mistake, and that will not disqualify him.

    Dear Cinthia,

    While playing everyone's target is to grab points and win the match, smart throws may be applicable during training sessions. During matches everyone will target the weak points. However good luck all the ladies playing throw ball. Keep it up

    Dear Shashi,

    I dont think that you understood what I meant say. Women playing against women, I do agree. But women playing against men??, cant comparable, where in such matches,to gain points the target will be a woman who will be weakest point among men. during practice sessions itself so many such incidents noticed. However organizers always do their job by arranging first aid medical facilities, you don't have to worry about it. By the way I am not playing throw ball

    @ John
    I am surprised you are totally ignorant, women do play football,basket ball,Tennis etc., your knowledge says it all. Anyways you enjoy throwball tomorrow because I am sure you are not playing Volleyball. I never heard any John in MENs VB team here. However let organizers do their job.

    @ Naveen
    I dont want your justification. Since you agree in UAE the TB rules are not International, The rule what you think right, may be not right for others. So every one cannot have their own opinion. Let organizers impose the rules and we are no one to interfere.You participate in the game if you adhere the rule else no one is forcing any one. As Agnes rightly said you and John together organize a tournament and put your own rules, you will know how easy or difficult it will be. All the best.

    @ Shashi:
    First, try to understand what I wrote. Where is the question of under estimating women!!! My concern was 6 ft. height men jumps and throws hard, nobody can catch it properly even men also. So “no jumping” while throwing justifies, but my question was why not while catching? Everybody knows that here in UAE we are not following international throwball rules. At least we should have some "common rules" for all the tournaments being played over here in UAE. Organizers in UAE think of it!!!!

    @John
    I thnik Shashi is right, your interest in Throwball shows how much you played mens game which you mentioned.
    Secondly instead of writing philosophy on the rules,refrees etc.,try to organize a tournament and implement whatever rules you like. Dont inerfere in others matters like ladies tb etc.,

    @John Sharjah.. as Shashi said,woman can stand for any men's throw. Injuries can happen with softest throw, and thats the reason jump is not allowed. The pressure of the throw is less when he is on ground. Instead banging the ball on women, if men play smart throw.. will be more appreciated

    Dear Shashi,

    I agree with you because throw ball is meant for mainly ladies as you don't need to put more efforts like other games such as foot ball, basket ball, tennis etc. etc. So it was continued by women. Now recently men started playing this game. As Naveen said a woman cannot withstand or resist a man's power and and there will be more possibilities of injuries in comparison with women to women matches. Try to understand what Naveen meant to say

    Dear Organizers,

    Really we all appreciate your hard work since 8 years, in organizing such a wonderful event. A small suggetion if you can consider. Not to discourage sportive players, please arrange good referees (especially for ladies throw ball matches), who can judge both the sides equally. You must be very well aware of the comments in Daijiworld by public on the Karaval Milan tournament held recently. You have also invited the same referees and would definitely discourage sportive players. Appreciated your encouragement to the players inconsideration of this suggestion

    I agree with Rudolph,
    Jumping not allowed while "throwing" is fine, because if men jumps and throws hard it is difficult to women to catch and there will be chance of finger injuries. But while "catching" please allow people to jump, because our Mangalorean women average height is less. Please rethink to change the rules.

    Dear organizers,It is mentioned"In the mixed throw ball player is not allowed to jump while serving or catching the ball".I think there is a mistake. Should it read as while returning the ball?In my personal opinion jumping should be allowed while catching the ball.As per the rule mentioned above if a person dives to his left or right to catch a ball which is landing far from you is fowl.Preventing jumping while receiving the ball is a retrogressive rule. Please think it over.

    It is nice to see so many events happening around. Lots of gatherings from our native place.

    But....why every one is organizing "Only" volley ball and throw ball? Good to see so many teams taking part. Please check if you can add more events to this. Like sports. Make it more competitive. Give diversified opportunity.
