i have just decided to try to get back into the sport after a number of years away to find out that its all a shambles, im hearing stories from a number of people about how much people in the sport are quick to backstab each other and slag them off. im also hearing that this very website is quick to ban people for speaking their mind about certain situations (SPEAK YOUR BRAINS) as some people dont like to be told whats what. we as a sport are never going to grow as long as their are people running things that only look out for themselves and their own interests, and not for the good of the sport. i was @ the UK MASTERS at the weekend and tbh, not many teams but a damn good day, like paintball tournies are supposed to be, also ran really well and friendly staff and players alike (same as when i started). i know people have their own tournements to tend to and look after but for others to deliberatly go out their way to badmouth and try to 'destroy' other tournaments is a joke, that sort of behavour is going to kill this sport and when everything goes wrong for the sport, the same people who helped to run it into the ground will not take responsibility for it but will blame everyone else. this needs to be sorted out asap but will it?.......no it wont because it all about 'every man for themselves' so im just saying now...........told you so, for when things do go wrong. ok rant over but im sure this will be flamed.:tsk:
