I'm not convinced that a multi-point format works as well with 7-man
its not quite a multi point format, but a multi game one. The scoring remains the same for all teams in the event, but between the two teams the point scoring is used determine the victor of that particular matchup. Those "points" count for nothing in terms of the final scores for all teams in that event, only the game points are used to tot up the final scores.

if that makes sense :)

Essentially you are proposing to bring back the "Pro-Tour" format of 2005?

Good luck dude - the paint bills for that were almost as bad as full X!

you didn't even vote for 7 man, so why you butting in? :rolleyes:

One thing i'm sick of is the fact that people think I am deciding. I have given the options, people are choosing them.

Markie, you voted to have ramping on the 7man as I did, thats not the same as the old 7man format either.

So, if i'm going to be blunt, i could simply ask Russ to set up a standard 7man gametime, no ramping, semi only, 300fps. I would however say that the prefered gun rule of mills ramping would even out a few prospective cheat issues, but i'm not discussing that.

Cos it's a public forum? Or because I have nothing better to do right now? Or maybe because Markie made a very valid point and I wished to signal my accord with that statement.

:D

nuff said :rolleyes:

I'm going to suggest that we try the standard NPPL format of 7man for the first event, we see how that goes and see what kind of attendance is given. Then all being well we can make slight changes or just run with it for the rest of the events (if Russ decided to make a regular event of it)

I am not thinking any thing its just that every one is saying that lets do this that the other and it should be just 7 man and that's it.

The reason i stuck ramping because their wasn't a option for what i wanted which i did state in the post relevant to that.

Its only a opinion.

I don't see how ramping compares to uncapped semi though ? Capped semi is closer to uncapped semi than capped ramping.

Anyhoo, the fact remains that I am a mere vessel for you guys who want 7man (and me too). So as i've stated, i'd suggest the first event should be by the NPPL rulebook as near as possible. Future events if any may be tweaked, all depends on Russ giving it the nod :)

With polls and discussions you never know what gems we might uncover, but then again, this is UK paintball so nothing suprises me ;) :eek:

7 man
7 mins to hang centre flag
7 total games (best of) to win
7 mins turnaround

Makes a very long day but would depend on how many teams were intrested and obviously a higher entry fee :D

Side note takes me at least 7 mins to fill my own pots and fill my own air thats without arguing with my team lol!!!
