Not me, but this has to be the most audacious bit of cheating ever. And unnamed CPL player, who who a mate of a mate, was on the tape, shooting down the line and right in front of a marshal. In one movement, he snapped out, was hit on the hopper, and managed to wipe it on the marshals trouser leg.......all without being spotted.

A mate of a mate of a mate once told me that he snapped out of the left, got hit on the hopper, then this rhino came storming onto the field and started mating furiously with this other rhino that had been hanging about in the back left for most of the game (with an alluring look in its eye). This distracted everybody just long enough for him to lose the hit on a marshal too. Amazing stuff and totally true..

Will you post up the results? will be interesting to see what people have put.
Unless anyone has a problem with this, I will put up the overall stats, but not individual survey results. If you do not want the stats posted then pm me.

I am going to take the results for my research within the next couple of days, but i will leave the survey up and running for longer see how many results I can gather.

Thankyou all again.

As far as opponents cheating against me, there are levels I would both expect and accept as part of the game and others that I would consider underhand.

If I hit someone in the leg as they were running to a bunker and they slid it off that would be expected, where as a clean hit on someones hopper that they wipe off would be taken up with marshals after.

As for myself I've never really cheated as far as I can remember in tournies.... I've been shot running to a Snake and checked after supermanning in to find no paint. Now whether it bounced or got slid off who knows.
That perfectly sums up my view. I've gotten to my primary to find a hit just on the tip of my barrel, and it's been rubbed into the bunker, and I do get to my primary before checking for hits (unless it's obvious), but I think wiping a fair hit mid game is messed up. I just overshoot to compensate, wipe that you cheating bollix! :p

EDIT: oops, am on the gf's account

Just speculation here and it would in reality im sure be extremely difficult to do and more than likely change nothing

A yellow/red card - warning type situation. This would only work in structured leagues and not just a one - off tourney

Still have the 1-4-1, 2-4-1, 3-4-1, rules in place. But if you are caught blatantly cheating i.e. a wipe or board setting w/e. The ref "issues" a yellow card as it were. If caught a second time then its red and a 1 match/tourney suspension. and then maybe such as in football 5 yellows and a ban 10 yellows and a ban.

Now the problem here is how do you keep track of such things hence my first sentence stating it extremely difficult to do.
