PA x ball few things

[emopikey]

just a few things really was watching the PA again on sunday and just thought of a few things that it was missing, first was the lack of a score board which made it quite difficult from a viewing point of who was winning, then in full x ball the score board has the timmer for the penalty instaed of the person in the dead box left wondering when he can come out he can see it counting down. and the second thing was why isnt the penlty box/ start gate opening out from the front instead of a just a normal start gate cos that alows the player to come out either side after the end of the penalty instead of the front like in full x ball it wouldnt be to hard to net off the sides and have a netted front to alow players in and out, any way i was just wondering if thease things were due to happen thats all ?

any wanna add anything

punctuation maybe?

In all seriousness, it would cost too much at this point to bring in a proper scoreboard (electronic), a manual scoreboard is feasible...like the old flip over ones

As for the penalty boxes, thats only a minor discrepancy surely?

the american scoreboards cost >10k (cant remember how much)

with regards to the netted sides/front... yeah, no biggie.

but watching the ultimate for a little wave that you can leave, is rather tedious... radios maybe? or someone behind the box with the player timing as well

 

[Revolt]

surely they can buy a little stop clock or an egg timer so the guy in there can prepare

Scoreboards

400 quid

100 quid

Brand new one for 1750

It could be done.

Definitely adds to the whole x-ball experience.

I got put in the penalty box and the refs tell you how much times left and the Ref (Tommy Webb i think) counted me down from 10 seconds.

Worked ok for me.
The score board would be good but the format works so why make more expense and add a scoreboard.

maybe in div 1 it did... but seemed to be a bit more trouble passing the word on in div 2
