Now what competitive man doesn't assume he's going to beat a female? Me for one and that's lead to some very frustrating moments in my life. My first wife was an A rated female RB tournament player and I HATED loosing to her even though she was the better player. There's a BIG difference between an A and B player. I would use any and all court tricks and unsportsmanlike tactics to win because that's the only way I could beat her. I would usually loose and then have to ride home with her and then catch family grief for the rest of the day. Humbling times, to be sure.
