Can I just remind people here before you all run to your suppliers to get a new board.
This is NOT a new rule, it is something the PA want to allow and will allow as soon as the HO agree.
You all think you fire quick enough but most of you worry when you go to the chrono stations and in silly case's dont get to play because of a suspect marker.
All I/we want is to allow people to play, we also want a level playing ground, you might not cheat but I assure you some one you played against did - and they may not even know they did.
We have to include ramping in the rule because it is out there and it will stay out there so we have to address a growing concern and if we don't it will be a much larger problem.
I have been on the reffing side of this sport for over 13 years and have seen plenty of changes, some did well some were a waste of time, I promise you these cheats on markers are in use I even know when a markers ramping and I can do sod all about it because as soon as the player stops shooting so I can test the marker the mode is hidden and how can I say that he could not have fired his marker that fast using just his fingers.
Some people have complained that its not fair because they can fire faster than that themselves, but post later saying they dont like that much paint in the air if we cap it!!!!
Others say they will use more paint ! I doubt it overall, but why then ask to increase the limit to 18.
I watched a good few NXL X-ball games at the world cup (FA 15bps) and the truth is the markers in open X-ball (same as we use)went much faster, how, you tell me.
This is for the good of the game and I would go so far as to say without this there will be no paintball the real sport, just us lot lying to ourselves every sunday pretending we will be a sport one day when we get to never never land.
