socks

hey keal there was three players there on sunday on the walk on using site guns and they hadnt been given BARREL SOCKS and when the marshalls were confronted ON A PLAYING ZONE when the marshalls said socks on and you can take your masks off about them not having condoms they said ah well take your barrels off lads CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG but the bloody gun can still fire a ball out like i said safety issues were very lax and sorry the marshalls WERE filling up with out goggles on whether they were walk on players or punters MAKES NO DIFFERENCE an accident can happen

ok , im sorry for mistaking u for a different guy, as far as i know theres no qualifications for marshalls, pluus im told u dont need to b qualified to marshall on a site, the only times when marshalls take their masks off in the gunnery is when there are no rental players in their, we r very strict about masks as someone already mentioned, i cant entirley rember weather other marshalls had their masks on when walkons were coming thru the gunnery, but ino me and the otha walkon marshall had ours on wheneva we were fillin ur guns, althou u shud all hav barrel socks on as explained in the safety brief, as for the safety in the gamezones, tell us which ones u mean, and ill c if ur right
the walk on players did have socks on but the rental players dont have them and you marshals were stood at the filling stations with no masks on when all groups were going in a nd out. in the safty brief it said semi shots only or did that bit of the safty brief not matter. as for what i did on the last game i played it was stupid and i appologise i am old enough to know better.(and daft enough):eek: as for masks why wasnt the player that after several mins of been shouted at and then eventually spoke to by a marshal stricktly delt with. if walk on players do not needing as much suppervision and should know better. why was there 3 players on the field with rental equipment no barrel socks and no real idia about what was going on. i have done marsheling it is a thankless job but with out you we would not be havin this fun on a weekend. sorry for any hassel at the weekend but as i said before i thought it was all sorted before i left.

righto let me see if i can sort it out right num.1 i was not at the game zone where this mask was lifted i was at base camp fixing my gun but i got most of the story the lad that did it was not infact a proper walk on player he came with a mate and used a retal gun and kit, and yes he did take his mask off as i no which was bang out of order and should of bin sent home for it but as i was not working it was not up to me and maybe the marshal was been lazy or not but if u have marshalled a walk on its sumtimes hard to understand 2 ppl screaming at u with all the fireing going off and wot not so u cant realy blame the marshal for all of it.

num.2 the ramping prob again i was not at this game as my hopper was broke lol ino not a good day for me :( but for the rest of the day i dint notice any ramping going on at all so i dont no about it but u can see both sides of it hes got a timmy 98 with a gravity feed hopper that can do 8-10bps and these ppl there with eteks,cockers and wot not that r hiting 20+ bps so hes got a egrip with sum sort of ramping mode on it to keep up with ppl but still using the same hopper but on the other hand i did say no ramping so u had every right to say sumthing about it but i did think it was little ott on him as he went home after

num.3 marshals as alot of u no i tened 2run it alot and do a good job at it but now i've got my own kit i want to play and this walk-on is the olny 1 i can play due to work,but jay is 1 of the of the mosted experienced staff we have and keal is good to hes a big paintball player doing alot of supair and thing like that and yes we had to new staff there with them as we r trying to get more staff into marshaling walk-ons coz s u now punters ans walk-ons r 2 different leages and staff filling guns i alwas make my staff have there masks on when filling guns but its a office thing that not down to me

bpf is still trying to get its walk-ons sorted and yes we r geting better thx to ppl like convicts and a few other ppl that come alot and tell us wots wrong and wot needs doing and we do try but wot we dont need is ppl coming playing 1 time in crapy weather where ppl get pissed off easy and bitch then flaming us on forums i do try my best to keep r walk-ons going and atm i'm losing the fight and i dont want to stop r walk-ons and i'm shore alot of other ppl dont to. now i will try and sort out wot i can and i do hope u will come again.

ps sorry for gramer and spelling but i'm dislexic cant even spell wot i have lol

thx bigt
