I'm not part...I agree with many of your points. I'm not particularly bothered by whether the standing issue was properly preserved. Standing--along with similar judicial authority concepts such as ripeness, mootness, and jurisdiction--are routinely raised by courts sua sponte regardless of whether the parties argued those issues. Also, the parties argued the void for vagueness issue in great detail, and the court is using the concept of standing to convey in legal shorthand a conclusion that someone cannot complain a statute is "vague" when any reasonable person would know their conduct was prohibited. Had this game been a casual, low stakes, unraked game among a handful of neighbors, I think they would have had a legitimate complaint about vagueness. Here, the court viewed the vagueness argument more as a technical "get out of jail free card" bit of lawyering.Grange95https://www.blogger.com/profile/01857460215043659894noreply@blogger.com
