ok, so here's a question:
What is the correxct thing to say when you are at a tournament, and someone comes up, smiles at you, and asks how the shooting is going (or in my case how my daughter's is going), and you haven't the foggiest who they are!
It's probably nothing, and they were probably just trying to be friendly, but there's two issues here, who the person is, and whether you should tell them.
In the first instance in your case, establishing who the person is is probably the over-riding concern - if they were enquiring about your daughter (whom, I'm assuming, is a Junior), you've got a perfect right to enquire (politely, of course) as to their identity, and why they're asking. You can't be too careful these days...:thumbsdow
As to whether you should tell them how well you (or your daughter) is getting on, it's up to you - it could be a bit of 'psychological warfare'; playing mind games so that you stop concentrating on what you're doing, and induce you to start worrying about how well your closest-ranked competitors are doing, thereby destroying your ability to keep putting 'em in the gold :thumbsdow ... It could also be a competitor worrying about how well you're doing. :cheerful:
Personally, once the identity of the person has been safely established, I'd refuse to get drawn into the 'mind games', and say something nondescript like, "Oh, getting on OK, thank you..", but not volunteer anything more specific. If they press you for scores, or suchlike, refer them to the Tournament Organiser, saying that you're not that bothered, and you've not actually looked...:raspberry
