To a certain degree, this is understandable. An example was made of Ansboury that if you risk it for the biscuit with your paddle, there may be serious consequences.Ī cloud that can hang over the PPA is that there is an impression the tour gives preferential treatment to its star players. They enforced this new policy on Sarah Ansboury and had no issue blasting the Ansboury default news across all of their media platforms. It seems like ages ago that the PPA instituted the policy that anyone playing with the new CRBN power series would have their paddle sent for off-site testing and, if the paddle tested illegal, the player would lose all ranking points and prize money they earned in the tournament.ĭespite not publishing an updated written paddle testing policy for deflection/delamination/debonding, whatever they are calling it, the PPA made it clear to their players that a paddle determined to be illegal following a challenge results in a default, including loss of prize money and ranking points earned with the illegal paddle. This meant that Ansboury and Braverman forfeited the prize money and ranking points they had earned. Sarah Ansboury and her partner, Jillian Braverman, were defaulted from the main draw on Saturday after Ansboury’s challenged paddle was determined to be illegal on-site. The comment itself is far from a throwaway, though. That may be the reason why there has been little to no traction on social media about the comment. It was made as an off-hand comment by Bright and said in such a relaxed way that, if you have not been following the paddle testing topic closely, you would think it was a meaningless comment. In a discussion about the paddle testing controversy with her co-host, Dylan Frazier, on the latest episode of her podcast, The Drop, Anna Bright casually dropped that Tyson McGuffin’s paddle that was challenged at the Red Rock event failed off-site testing (28:24 mark).
Tyson McGuffin did not address the test results of his paddle that was challenged during the PPA Red Rock Open on his latest episode of the Tyson McGuffin Podcast.
