for future knowledge Mr Rosen rocketleague is most comparable to soccer with cars instead of people. Your car has the ability to jump off of the ground and soar towards the ball. A "flip reset" is when you are able to make all 4 wheels of your car make contact with a surface (normally floor wall or ceiling but you can use other people and the ball too) it will refresh your ability to jump or make your car do a flip. You teach me so much about chess I cant miss an opportunity to try and teach you about the thing I'm good at. (Champion div 2 is very comparable to IM) (grand champion is equal to GM)
