Hi!
I was playing against one of my teammates yesterday, when he suddenly did an unexpected move:
During the final set, he totally blowed me out when he suddenly delivered with his left hand Shocked
Thus: Two throws with his right hand, then a delivery with his left.

Would this be accepted during tournament play?

/ Rock on ppl! Cool

Unless tournament rules explicitly require a player to select a hand prior to play, switch-throwing is perfectly legal, provided that the hand that throws is the same one that participates in the prime.

In martin's post RPS players from the past, he talks about Barry 'Bazza' Moulden's incredible tournament winning style with a surprise switchhanded throw.  Apparently this was a common place move that was widely practiced back in the day.
