Marshalling

Originally posted by pbsmoker

Sunday was an example of the marshalls actually following the rules to a T which is rare. Calling people out for hits on the end of a barrell, or on a piece of air hose that in my opinion couldnt be known from a hit or rub against a bunker.
Marshalling by the rules was exactly what we did, and i was impressed with all the Campaign guys, they were awesome. It didnt matter who they were, they were judged equally.

I pulled a guy for a shot on the inside of his barrel. I did not see it hit, but the players shooting him was calling it out to me. I ran over, and the guy had blue paint on the inside and tip of his barrel. I asked him what colour he was shooting as it could easily have been a barrel break. When he said he was shooting Yellow i pulled him out. Two people on the sidelines said it was one of the best pieces of judging they had ever seen. The eliminated player even commended me after the game. So players can be pulled for barrel hits mate, even on the tip/inside if the judge knows what he is doing.

And liz, i wasnt meant to be the minority by being a new team, rather than all of us new to the England scene. We are not in the "circle" of people here, we dont know anyone yet and i feel because noone knows us they automatically assume we were a buch of cheats. It was offensive. Thats all i was implying.

OK, I must have mis-read your comment before. But equally, I haven't seen anyone round the UK assuming people are cheats because they don't know them, if anything it would be the other way round! as I said before, I don't know who reffed one of the fields on Sunday but every ref I do know was there, is completely unbiased. The only teams that may have had a problem with over-zealous reffing would be the Tigers teams, due to Tigers reffing on one field and they are always much tougher on their own lot than on others.
