Great match.

Great match. I cannot believe Longoria won this match, incredible she pulled it off. She has been leaving the ball up so much for her opponents in her matches. I believe, the difference in this game were the mental mistakes Vargas made. Nonetheless a really really incredible final. Congratulations to all! I really like that TJ (Commissioner) was on the call in the final. Mr. Tim Baghurst and TJ are the best when doing commentary in my opinion. Can't wait to watch the next tournament in Arizona.

Why do they allow foot faults. See how far Vargas steps over the front line. Wheres the regulations in this game? Thats an advantage to Vargas. I saw a game between these two players and same foot fault from Vargas all through the game.

[@jppcasey]

I believe the rule is you can go over the line, as long as any part of your foot is touching it. If your foot goes completely passed the line, then it's no good.

@@JuanZaragoza-n7e a) Foot Faults. A foot fault results when: 1. At the start of or during the service motion, any part of the server (or non-serving partner), including their racquets, touches the floor outside of the service zone. USAR Official Rules of Racquetball Page 11 of 47 2. Before contacting the ball with the racquet, the server steps with either foot on the floor beyond the service line (with no part of that foot on the line or inside the service zone). You "accidently" left out the most critical part of the rule that we are we talking about: the last sentence.
