Assuming this would actually go to court (I know it likely doesn’t), does the perception of pettiness and/or gamesmanship work against the plaintiff’s case?

As in, your making a case for financial wrongdoing, but wait 8 months and then happen to serve papers the week of the game. This would rub me the wrong way if I was a judge.

this is one of those situations where "anybody can sue anyone for anything" comes into play

It’s probably going to be the same judge that granted chambliss a 6th year, so I don’t think that will matter.

Arguably could be seen as a abuse of process if they can prove malicious intent.

Not a lawyer but as long as it is within the statute of limitations I don’t think a judge would care about the timing. They don’t rule off vibes and feelings.

Form of service matters, particularly when it is used for a collateral purpose (like intimidation or harassment). It's not an easy claim to prove and depends whether they attempted service at his home or other less-intrusive means.

It doesn't demean the success of the service, but serving papers at someone's job, for example, in an attempt to bully them or harm their reputation is actionable.

While the timing of service may, probably is gamesmanship, I don't think it has any effect, at all, on what seems to be a breach of contract case. Whether or not a contract was breached generally comes down to the language of the contract and the actions that may or may not be considered a breach.

I suspect the lawsuit is filed in Mississippi where the contract was entered into, which is likely Lafayette Country (where Oxford is located). So even if there was a remote chance the timing of service may matter to a judge, I doubt it would matter to a Lafayette County judge.
