summary

just to make a summary - to have mostly all points together, so that next MS tournament organisers may take it as a checklist ..


nice things the DMA crew is responsible for:
- nice place the event took place in
- very nice field setups
- 100% fresh (4500psi) air
- they tried to built up chrono stations on the field, which didnt really work, but looked very nice
- they tried to built boxes for the markers, in which these nearly fitted


nice things the traders are responsible for:
- very cool draxxus tent
- big trade show


bad things nobody is responsible for:
- bad weather
- crahing computers


bad things I dont know who is responsible for:
- no rp sherer paint


bad things the DMA crew is responsible for:
- no external hdd backup
- no printed schedules before the crash
- no schedule (you wont call that one schedule?)
- up to 6 hours delay caused MOSTLY by the schedule and not the weather
- falling towers, in spite of knowing about the stormfront coming up
- players area without a roof
- players area was finally built up by the players not the organisers
- 20-30€ for not printed ID cards
- ID cards didnt get checked
- unsafe players area (stealing)
- big prices for small sandwhiches
- a sign saying youre not allowed to bring your own food/drinks


btw was there a captains meeting? If yes, at what time?


Hmmm .. that seems to be (nearly) all.
I really hope, that the next MS tournament takes care about the points above...

Lots of comments about "stop whinging, you got to play ball, didn't you?" & similar. Well try to remember that nearly all the various problems didn't just affect the players, they also affected everyone else attending.
Spectators/hangers on etc may have had the option to go off site & do some sightseeing or shopping or something, but we had to get on site well before the first game of each day & stay until they were all over 'cause of the tech support team. About half of the bad points listed above by Windler affected us as much as the teams - don't forget we were all in the Smart Parts tent when the tower damn near fell on us.

So think of us poor non-playing attendees - all that discomfort & risk & we don't even get to play

Hey Morphus,

I'm glad that you guys managed to find that seventh guy, hope you enjoyed the tourney, and from your post I gather you did.

Johan, thanks for supporting the DMA's, how you managed to find the time to take all those photos and play paintball is beyond me.

Ed, bek! (inside joke, don't try to understand..)

 

[Johan]
