I agree with most of the arguments from Max, Pajac and Sotak. And also from Andi when he sites Tim. Seems like one can be an efficient team player with or without scooping. Scooping is one of the tools a player may have. Then its up to the players mind to use it for the team or for themselves, according to the game situation.
I think it brings to the game more than it withdraws from it, when properly used.
And i also think that the first aim of the existence of any ruleset is to provide secure and fair playing conditions. As I dont see how a scooper endangers any other player on court or withdraws the possibility to defend against/ to reply, hence I neither see the need to downgrade this tool by the rules.
One thing is “I dont know how to scoop” and “I dont know how to defend against it” ( most often my case :D) and another thing is " as I dont know how to scoop, neither how to defend against it, so I dont want others to train and improve it".
Lets all stay far from such a confusion. we have the ability to acknowledge the beauty of a well-timed scoop creating a nice shooting line, even if its done on us.
If you feel like you need to evolve the ruleset, you should rather reconcider sudden stops in front of unaware players. Or make the facecage mandatory or.. there are other debatable points. But this is another discussion.
P:S: stawmen detector didnt detect any empty arguments in this disscussion.
