We played "Full Contact" Crud -- the hockey players seemed to be the best -- they delivered incredible hip checks that could send you flying into the wall.
AF wives would play with the guys, including me. We even had annual wives tournaments.
I have to say, the best players when it came to hip checking were always wives. Our center of gravity is lower, thus, we could take them out at the guys knees. They would just drop on the floor. This would be with them full blocking. We would come around the corner and just drop down with a hip check and BOOM they went down, regardless of their weight or height.
I miss those days. Can't tell you how many Saturday mornings I woke up with bruises on the top of my thigh (jumping against the table to grab the ball) or on my hips from checking someone.
~ FWIW, not to be smug, but typically even when I played against guys, I always ended up as the "virgin" in the end. For those that are reading this, the virgin means, last person standing and has not lost a life yet. Guys on a whole will forget their playing against a woman when it comes to pride. Yes, I have been chucked against a wall because they were not going to get teased that I took them out.
That video is a very low contact game. Plus, you never have 2 side judges, nor is played on a pool table.
Crud SUPPOSEDLY started with the AF. The story goes....a couple of AF officers (rated) got stuck in Canada. They went to the O Club, got drunk, and saw they had a skittles table (A skittles table is much larger than a pool table, higher and has no side pockets). They only had a white and red ball, no pool cues. So they created the game.
Crud is popular in the fighter world.
My kids being AF brats of an F15E WSO learned this game at a very young age. Our DS that attended det 330 actually shocked the cadets when he was an AS100. He played dumb the 1st game. It was POC vs GMC. He knew how to play this since he was probably 8 or so. All of our kids do. He knew how to hip check, he knew how to call no 6, he knew how to plant and not get called, he knew when to call lips. He even had watched us enough to know how to do the "round the world" serve.
~ Funny story. 1st time he played as a GMC, he called no six. The POC was what is NO SIX? The PMS was the judge. Our DS pulled out a dollar bill and handed it to the PMS. The PMS looked at him and the POCs, and announced the GMCs have a "ringer"! Only truly players know that a judge will use a $1 bill for a no 6.
