Campaign - Worst field for marshalls??

[JDPB]

Marshals on Tomahawk field

I think it was the Evil Pigs on saturday cause Mimi was marshalling and they all spoke french. Wasnt the best marshalling. A player riped out a bunker when he slid in, a marshall called him out but the head marshall told him to play on. In another game, a player got hit, got called out by one marshall but then another marshall told the same player to play on. Maybe there was a lack of communication between marshalls??

The marshalling was not good in 7 man. Let there be no doubt about that. I was wathing alot of games, and as people have pointed out before, the evil field together with several other fields totally screwed over alot of teams.

But the worst, I think was the Spyder field, who cost my team our place in the semi's. Not only did they take out FOUR of our players before the game even started, on high chrono (301, 301, 301, 302), after leaving our guns boiling in the sun for five minutes while chronoing, and having a chat with their fellow german team. It's common knowledge that guns creep high on first shot if you leave them in the sun.
With only 3 players, we shot 4 of them, before the marshals sealed the deal: our last player shoots a runner on the right hand tape straight in the goggle, turns around to face the last the last two players, and gets shot in the back by the eliminated muppet. The marshal on the right hand tape pulls the player, screaming 141, while another marshal rips our player, who should be wiped clean, off the field. The right tape marshals also fails to pull the penalty.

Btw, we missed the semis by 2 points.

In general i would like to say that marshalling are here to make sure everything goes by fair. Marshalling is NOT here to let stupid ass idiots that never could make it playing, fcuk the players over.



The biggest mistake the Millennium Series ever did, was to take away the total prizes. Since then, no good teams bother to ref any more.

regarding the chrono just before game on.

i was under the impression they take an average of 3 shots

No that was the trick of calling 10seconds and then saying guns down before game start and the cronoing the guns with the first shot and if over pulling the player but most of the time that was because the fields were running late so they had to kill some time somehow.

Worst marshals by far were on the tomahawk field and didnt help there cause by not clearing away paint marks on bunkers or dropped paint behind bunkers like the blocks on each tape got pulled both times for paint i was kneeling in ffs

Also when is a bouncing gun not a bouncing gun after it has been made to bounce at least 5 times in a row and after more than one attempt to do it and was witnessed by people on the side lines that it was bouncing in checks after the game. The judge tells the head judge its an illegal gun but he still lets it go and does nothing about it!!!! Guess what tomahawk field again the marshalls on there just didnt seem to be bothered and just couldnt be arsed

Ok I have kept out of these threads so far although I have sent a couple of pm's but now this post is more than a little too far.
Peoples memorys of events do get blurred as this post proves....I was the head judge on the Spyder field and I was the one who called for the chrono check....Yes 4 markers were found to be hot and 4 players removed after the chrono check. The markers were not left in the sun as the field was running as close to time as was humanly possible (netting delays etc, if your game was the morning session then my field was ahead of time in relation to the other fields) and the two teams playing that game were not kept waiting after coming onto the field...the call of googles on, barrel condoms off was made and then allowing BOTH teams to fire off clearing shots was done and then the 10 seconds and then guns down call was made and your team was the FIRST of the two to be checked.....the chrono results were not 301 301 301 302 but...301 304 308 303...the same procedure was then applied to the apposing team and they too lost one marker for a 303....their markers having waited longer than yours to be chrono'ed. In fact due to your captain (this may be you) being unhappy about losing 4 players this delay was longer than it should have been.
You did indeed nearly win but the last player was shot in the back from the right tape and not as you seem to have seen it. Whilst in general most of the games were a blur to me yours stood out because of the 4 players being removed at the beginning. Your team was not the only one to be caught with hot guns over the event just your team was the most in one go.
I am sure you will not wish to see things the way they happened but that is how they did occur.
I have replied for two reasons, one I was there and secondly my refing squad were german so it is unlikely that any of them will read this forum. They were a good squad and I had zero problems with them as at no point did I have to move any of them to better see than the areas they covered....I allocated them sections and watched them throughout the event...I cannot deny that they are human and will miss some things but then that is what humans do....and without them there would not be any events as you cannot totally rely on the players to remove themselves..though see my general comment below.

One general comment I wish to make that applies to the entire event (other than "of course we refs suck when you lost" which got very old very quickly) was that this was the first event were I don't recall any instance of having to drag a player from the game after they were hit, the players listened to the refs and walked very often before we had to make the call which was very refreshing to see.

Hmm

C.cup was great,wicked place to hold it and the marshaling was spot on.cept the tomahawk field which was still sh!te and no amount of posting will change my mind,some of the judging was laughable!!how come there wasn,t this level on the rest of the fields,which were fine(watched loads of games all w.end,virtually all 7 man)?? and no real probs on the rest of the fields?
