7 man or not, your opinions needed!

[TheRenton]

if the event is to run alongside another league, then it will have to be fairly large yes

Nah, keep it on the beach.
HB is HB nothing will ever come close in the UK. cos the UK has AIDS.

Whilst flippant, that is actually a very good point.

HB is THE 7man event, and the other NPPL's don't get anywhere near as many teams turning out historically.

Do those teams play HB for the format or for the spectacle? I would think it's probably a 50/50 spilt, and I'd love to see how a PSP event in SoCal, on the beach would do.......

 

[TheRenton]

the trouble is that however true that statement Ian said may be true, its damaging also.
We can't just completely cut out a format because "someone else does it better"!

 

[Lump]

we have stopped playing 5 man, to do xball/cpl but would do 7 man if available

 

[Jesus]

7man feels too slow, all you get is peeps sitting across the back line shooting lanes, the only time they move up is when nearly all the opposition is out.

 

[TheRenton]

don't be a back man then jk

 

[Jesus]

ooh you bitch

seriously though, the games are too slow and the turnaround times are too long. Give me an hours xball in the PA anyday.

don't forget i don't want to remove x-ball altogether, i just want to see what the choice would be like

 

[evoonline]

ya can never have to much paintball. an other format would be another game to play. now if only i could win the lottery to afford it

 

[Russell Smith]

I tell you what, just to make this intresting.....

It seems to me that more than a few would like to have another go at a seven man, no coaching, semi only game.......

Like I have already said I prefer full Xball (well I actually prefer ten man woodland but thats another life) but I would have no objection to replacing one of the five man divisions at a PA/Super 4 event with a seven man!

So there you go, I will give you what you want if enough teams really would like to play.
They do not have to be new teams to the PA at all they could easily be teams who already (or intend to) compete in any of our events who would like to play seven man instead of the 5 man.
