Hi Guys,

Team Envy UK would like to say thanks to Syd and his marshals and all the teams that played we had an excellent day even if we did come in last place but it was a good learning curve.

We would like to say sorry to Pompey Uni B as we was unable to play our last game with them due all 5 markers going down in the second to last game.

We are also concerned that 3 of our markers where tampered with as they where all pulled for being to HOT over 400!! fps when they where set to about 260, I understand markers will spike after long periods of no use but surely not to 400.

We may be rookies but we're far from stupid

well if you chrono in the morning and its 260 the fps can rise from the heat later in the day

i kno i was re-chronoing at lunch at the nspl

but 400 seems a tad high lol and people tampering with guns ?? seems a tad OTT

saying that tho there has been a bit of wierd things going on recently

Sorry m8 but I find it hard to believe that someone/people would chance to tamper with 3 markers prior to a game;I can't see fellow ballers standing by and allowing to go on.
Take it as a learning,you've missed something,I don't know what..but a few people got caught out with hot guns over the chrono and yes 400 is possible.
I witnessed 340,370 from a marker that had been used all morning.
If you run near the limit 300 then you run the risk of a hot gun later on,did you change paint?change barrels?lube the markers?etc,etc..

Apart from that you had a good day and as you came last perhaps someone was trying to help you..;)
See you there next month...:D
