They were both French as well.

but if we shot the guys who look like they have been shot to make sure we get done for over shooting its not nice.

Its a shame as well the other 3 French teams we played were really good played the game and played well the tontons and taz who we beat in the prelims came 2nd and 4th so to be knocked out by a french team who does a dead mans is pretty gutting.
Paris's and the northern region are famous in france for dead man walk.
I guess you played Scalp for the dead man walk.
:rolleyes:

BTW: in the rules nothing is against a dead man walk.
There is one rules: IF the hand don't touch the head, you can destroy him ...
The problem is the refere don't always agree for the hand not touching.

Yes it was and i had a very good conversation with the team captain about how the guy has been dropped from about 3 teams because of it, but to go around bragging about it, which he did to a number of people kinda sucks but hey i have claimed down now and i have taken what every one has had to say and what Nicky says is right.

Its a learning process and we have learned the dmw finished us of thats why it is a bit point with out team at the moment.

we also saw the Vision do it as well and then went back to the team and high fived them all.

Guys it is my first post on p8b but i've seen quite a few tournaments... Yes i agree that dead mans walk is awfull and very unsportsmanlike...BUT what happens when a professionall football athlete dives to get a penalty?? Why anyone isnt complaining for unsportsmanlike conduct?? If its legal then we must accept it :/ (sorry for my bad english..Its not my mother language)

First off, people DO complain when these so called 'professional' athletes dive ... we hear these protests all the time ....


Secondly, just because an aspect of play is not illegal doesn't mean you have to accept it, far from it, and this is why sooo many people do actually protest against diving.

As for the dead Man's walk?

I don't think it should be made illegal and if you wish to protest it on grounds of sportsmanship then that is your prerogative mate.
