A draw is a latch. The ball either fits the hole or it does not.

Path can be a quiet citizen and still produce a fade if the face arrives late. That is a shut latch. Players call it a "blocked hook." The wicket calls it rust on the hinge. Mae writes the humidity. Cal writes the face delay. Otis hangs the disc on the SHUT peg until the hardware changes.

Open latches are boring to watch and expensive to stamp honestly. Loft, lie, and a face that actually arrives. No poetry. Queen City Park in a west wind will still interview the hinge. If the disc says OPEN, it means we watched the hole, not the highlight.
