Give em' a break!
It may just be me (usually is
) but after reading all the threads posted about how bad ALL the marshalls were. And about every single bad decision.
There has not been one thread about all the GOOD decisions, and not a single "thank you" for doing a, frankly hard and pressured job. (especially at such a huge tournament such as the c.c )
So here goes :-
THANK YOU
Just my 2 penneth guys.

Got to say I agree, if we had any bad calls we never noticed them!
Was fairly interesting on field 7 in the pitch dark.
Got to say field 2 was the bext marshalled, did thank the marshals at the time, but heh! one more time, great job guys.
Thanks fom all the Roughnecks.

Hope you do not in any way believe that we think we got screwed of a well deserved 1st place by the marshals or something similar. That is not the case. We are generally very pleased with CC (as stated in other threads) and managed to play good enough to secure our 3rd place in the series, which was the goal when going there.Originally posted by jnr/shockwave3

oh and fatty. as far as i'm conserned our marshalling was spot on when we marshaled evolution. YOU lost plain and simple!!
The reasons we missed the finals were 1) we got team Wicked in our group in the semi draw, 2) we played them on a field we had never played before (xball), 3) we played them on a field that fit their playing style very well and 4) THEY PLAYED BETTER.
The reason we lost against Storm Pro (on your field) despite having a 2 on 1 is simply that I fcuked up and should have read the field better.
Just to clarify so that we don't get any primadonna rumours started.
Sorry for making the mistake. Its a hard enough job at the time without guys hassling you afterwards about bad decisions (which were good). Cheers for taking the time to explain.Originally posted by sjt19
Neither of the teams had any complaints, it was only people like you who misread the situation and get the wrong end of the stick.
I agree the solution is to pay the refs, but, who's going to foot the bill?
Who pays for Pro Ref in the states?
Who pays for Pro Ref in the states?
I would guess the promoter, ie Pure Promotions and Chuck. But they only play 8 games in the prelims and they only last 8 minutes dont they? So the judges would have less games and shorter ones if they all ran to time.
In the PSP the promoter pays $100 per day for the player-refs and have for years. The entry fees are higher than Millennium but so are the prizes.
NPPL Super 7 are spending even more money on flying in refs from abroad, paying them AND paying American PRO refs. Their business concept seems to be "build it and they will come", even if they initially lose money.
If my information is correct both are losing/investing money.
I believe that Millennium can go a middle road with player-refs for a while longer. I have outlined my plan several times in several places but it includes the concept of paid refs and higher paid, independent head field judges, plus a substantial training program.
Yes, it would cost more for the promoters and for the teams, until more outside sponsorship comes in. Most players indicated they would be willing to pay more for better reffing in the on-going P8 poll.
