Are you being ironic, or demonstrating the dumbing down of A levels as an entrance criteria to University? A ball in cycling???

When I did my A Levels, "Aaa" was something you did into a gutter after a pint of Pernod and black, not what you got for turning up.

:D:D:D HAHAHAHAHA

What has seeing the ball got to do with anything, i think you`d go seriously dizzy trying to watch every ball on the field!

i would say its more because its not that exciting from a spectators POV.
you can only see half the players (the rest are hiding! fancy that!)

i feel coaching kills the excitement too.
I find watching an Xball match much more exciting than say, football. The problem is there's too much going in paintball to portray through a television screen.

Be nice, now. I already have parents to mock my university education, I don't need strangers at it too.

Yeh to me and you we can watch and enjoy, but to someone who has never seen it before its just a load of blokes hiding behind bouncy castles!

Maybe welshy does have a point about seeing the ball :rolleyes:
no easy way to make them visible though is there?

Calm down, that would make me a hyprocrite. I work for an investment bank, I've already had my fill of Taxpayer money. We're like pea's in a pod. You got a 3 year holiday, I got a new Chelsea tractor.
Lols. For 25 grands worth of debt, I'd better be getting a damn good holiday.
:p
Sorry, on a forum it's a little difficult to tell how somebody's coming accross.

edit:: Is there any way to make paintball more accessable to spectators?

No worries, with my avatar you think I'm serious????

Anyway, back to Nike.

Even if 4 million play Paintball a year, 50% of those are proper fat making it a rather unattractive investment. Better investment would be Weight Watchers or Kerry Katona's plastic surgeon (you'd still hit it though. I bet she proper goes and you could smash her in the kidneys).

Personally i think the opposite and that XBall increases the spectator POV. Most fields mean both sides, not the middle grey area, the snake side and tbag/dorito side have a main share in watching the action.

If its raised a bit (like we had in Blackpool) spectators can see every angle that a ball can come from then they can work out angles, all of the above promoting the sport so at least you cant say we are not trying lol! :D

Its the bits you cant see that are the surprise and keeps people wanting... SORRY that sounded perverted :D
