If I may, what happens to a player when he gets moved down are
two things.
One is in their head and the other is on the court. The first
part is simple. They push that much harder to move back to the
lates, even in todays jai-alai players still want to have that
late game status.
The second part, on the court, comes into play as the earlier
game players will give a player like Lauciria, better setups (
the pelota up close) which makes it that much easier to kill
the point. Where as in the later games the players know to keep
the pelota away and can do it consistently.
