Haha, well we have to give him somethingIt's always a pleasure Lemon, I suppose we should thank the hub as well as he's taking the credit for our wins
Oops, lol, well it was very weird...Think that was me
LOLGod your anal.
not being funny but i think too many people are picking at flies here, this was the first event and these boys have been working there ass off literally around there own current job to get this site to its current standard! working day and night!
And personally i think they have done a mint job, best site in the uk by far!
yes there were a few tiny little bumps in the ground but so what? i never noticed them when i was playing! its not a man made pitch like a bowls green! these things take time!
ive heard that the ground is going to be rolled so those little niggles will be gone!
chrono situation may need looking at! i didnt have any issues with the entrances, but safety is a priority in this day and age!
all i can say is keep up the good work!

I wasnt even at the event and I already shot a loadyou go lee.. tell them how it is
the event was excellent, fields really flat, and spacious, plenty of parking, and seemed well catered for. reffing was consistant, which is all we ask for, and in that heat you guys did a bang up job.
only gripe i have is the portaloos, we could do with hand sinks in their. the hand sanitiser didnt really cut it for me.

That was some thing i wanted to add, if you have running water on site, a stand pipe available would be nice
as if you confused me with ali doddsy, i mean our names arnt similar at all! hehe, a change of name is needed lol for him not me.haay sid ali improves round on round no mugging of his team mate this round, so he is moving in the right direction,, love u really alistair
hand sanitizer is a lot better than sinks its cleans better and has antibacterial in it so nice and clean.
1. I have only played at 3 places in the UK flatter than Rodbaston - Marchweil Cricket pitch, Welsh Open - Campaign Cup, Crystal Palace - Bournemouth, Heavens Gate and they don't play paintball @ any of those places any more. One little dip is not far of perfection in relative termsHere's my detailed review of the day......
1. Fields - all in all excellent. Noticed there is a dip on field 4 - wonder why you couldn't change it so it ran the other way, 90 deg to the field 3 so that the slope doesn't come into play?
2. General layout - I really like the fact that teams are encouraged to pit from the far side - and if anything, make it a requirement. As long as there is ample cover (i.e. a tent per team) there is no reason why this shouldn't be an issue.
3. Entry to fields - I agree that this needs to be improved. With the extra width on the fields, why not make a netted dead box/entry point on the inside of each field at each end (staging side only)? This will give 2 benefits, firstly safety and also make it easier to ref - counting dead players etc........and also not take up any more space on the staging side either.
4. Some thick rope to define field size - noticed a few teams yesterday were called out for going out of bounds, which is currently marked by a dotted orange line (not the easiest thing to see when the adrenaline is pumping) and a thick rope will also be again easier to ref if a player steps out.
5. Schedules - Be good to perhaps have an ultimate ref in a netted area on the 50 line, staging side, so that teams can have a definite point of contact on each field. Also then any enquiries can be made about the schedule without going on field or shouting to a ref.
Just to add to this, what about having a simple board on display behind the ultimate ref area which shows the teams playing, and the next teams to play? Like a menu display board.....you can then get the team names printed/laminated (only done once as the locked divs are all the same teams anyway) that you can just quickly switch between games? Also give each ultimate a megaphone (our team would happily donate 4 megaphones to the cause) to call for the next teams on field.
6. Other areas - toilets were well placed with 2 in between each field (and clean!!!). Whilst the weather is good mud isn't an issue, but I think when it starts getting wet and muddy, it might be worth looking at wood chipping the staging areas and walkways between each field. Not a great cost and a great way to keep the mud to a minimum.
7. Car parking - again, fine yesterday, but when winter comes around, it's going to get messy. Only real way around this is to hardcore a parking area at the top of the site, only allowing vendors (and Lamborghinis) access to further down the fields - again, perhaps even hardcore a vendor area half way down the site to allow for a U shaped shopping/food area where there is a concentration of heavy foot traffic.
8. End of day's play - not fussed about prizes, but it would be good to perhaps have a gathering of teams on their played fields for a rundown of results and a bit of banter/thank yous.
9. Reffing - This is a tricky one, and don't get me wrong, I think the refs did an AMAZING job in the heat yesterday, but I would prefer it to be a little bit stricter than it was yesterday. Yes, let's keep it light and fun, but make things too lax......it doesn't do anyone any favours.
10. Crono areas - to kill two birds with one stone, you could have one of the dead boxes on each field also set up as a crono area to one side of the netting. Then for each team's first game they must enter via this entrance and a ref can check the crono of each marker.
I've attached a quick image I drew up to show the above ideas
Thanks for reading
2. Paintball equipment and spectators should never be mixed for health and safety & security reasons :tsk:
3. "Dead" boxs are not required as it is a live field, so "dead" players can and should leave the field. Alternative would be to put a section of netting across the corner of each end so players enter into that safe zone.
4. Any sort of rope is a tripping hazard - maybe a brighter colour paint next time
5. Each team gets a schedule and should really follow what is happening during the day.
If you get off the field gas up, pod up, go to loo then go watch a game that way you are ready if called.
6. They love mud at Glastonbury :first:
7. A Tractor is available to tow anyone out - gravel/hardcore costs - at least the car park is close to the exit road so on those wet days it will be easier to drive or be pushed in/out
8. England playing against Germany in the World Cup is going to upset the best laid plans
9. :tsk: think you will find yourself in a minority there
10. The original PA style chrono areas were good but that only allowed one entry point per field
