Do you think sites should have these wierd rules?
ie: NO headshots, Heasdshots dont count ,NO mugging, NO blind shooting.Things like that?

NO headshots, Heasdshots dont count ? WTF combination is that?
That could mean that you could fire a whole hopper into someones head? [/B]
The no head shots rule is a bit of a turkey. Most newbies can't aim there guns that accurately anyway (no offence intended). The most armoured point on players these days is the face. Very rarely do i see punters getting hit on the top of the head or the back of the head.

May be we should have -

NO testicle shots
NO nipple shots
NO stinging on the inside of the thigh shots

come to think of it - NO shots!

On the plus side it can mean less people getting shot in the head, but most people walk out when they've been shot in the goggles anyway

On the cynical side the more things that don't count, guns, heads etc the more paint people will shoot so the more money operators make

Would be interesting to run a big tournament with the headshots don't count rule though (Joking)

No head,gun shots etc are just pants &it can lead to them getting hurt more than if u didnt have it.
The surrender rule is just plain Kack aswell as it just creates arguments,just stick to the plain tried & trusted-if theres broken paint on ya then ur out unless ur a chicken.Its more fun to see um startled by being shot ta fack by surprise rather than being asked to surrender ,Tho not as much fun as going for gold on da Michelin "Anything that goes under,Goes!" Road Kill tour 02 .
:D

guppy

at swat we enforce the surrender rule, and why you may ask, ok for pro's to mug and point blank, even head shoot each other, which in theory is a mug or be mugged world, most pro players accept this as part of the game even though it ****in hurts like hell and in some cases like campaign players were suffering from mild concusion.
novice players and first timers however at our site are generally kids and ladies, who would like to be surrendard rather than point blanked, you three player pull out was the right decision we do the same, "guy creeps up-three with there backs against em SURRENDER they are all out" also enforce the marshals decsion is final, not good pr to swear at them as this hightens the tensions, we generally apologise, "sorry guys he got the drop on ya, your all dead" even 6 foot no neck meat heads dont argue with that one" and of course is based on experience, so yeah stand your ground you are the law on the field, if all else fails whip em with your squeegie'
head shots count and should be avoided guns shots also count

Did not read the whole thread so it may have been said already.

I think you made a good call for on field marshalling, no questions.

With the hindsight element then I would say if this Player A had snuck up behind them and was not playing to the surrender rule then he would have taken all 3. If he was infront then no way.

By the time the other 2 had realised 1 had gone OWW and seen that he had been hit they too would have because even thought there was 3 his finger would be faster. in front he might have got 2 but like everyone says yo are the marhsall and you made a strong onfield decision which in my book was the best thing to do.
