The way i see it, there are two scenarios, and they are different.
I'm a small level tourney player, with 2 friends i play at a 3-man year-long league, with tourneys once a month. When Im at a tourney, i don't like it, but it is a necessity to play a little dirtier then in Recball. I dont like to admit it, but if it comes to a choice between winning the prize for the day or not wiping a cheast shot that no one saw, well im sorry but im gonna have to do it. As much for my good as my team.
Also, i do overshoot, and the refs allow it to an extent, ill cover why later on. I do it so no one else can wipe...ironic isnt it?
The other scenario takes place on the weekends im not playing in a tourney. With those same friends, and a few that are newer to pb, I go out to the same field at play rec ball. When im playing rec, im still not going to get out until im called, but im also less likely to overshoot you or wipe.
When I see a noob, I realize that he is the future of our sport (god help us) and i try not to take the enjoyment out of it for him. Doesn't mean that Im not going to play hard in Recball, but im not gonna make it unfun for non-tourny players either.
Now, as for the refs at my field, well, i gotta say that they are great. Mainly because its the homefield of Trauma and Gridlock, and most of the refs either play with them, ref with them, or use to play with them, and will let you slightly overshoot if necessary. They also understand that cheaters suck in recball, and will take you out.
Just my .02
