No nick, its nothing like that. Not risking a blowout is not illegal. Shooting hot is! The Ton Ton in the 2nd game had a gun go 320+ over the chrono! If you have a gun shooting a shot at 303 then fair enough, it could be an honest mistake, but at 320 it is clearly an intended cheat. No guns fire at 20fps above what you set them at unless there is a clear determination to do so. Many many people came over to me and told me that they had seen the TonTon messing around with their regs prior to the semi games, and after the semi games while the flags were being run back.
They should have been chronoed after the game, especially as i was told by the head marshall that the TonTon did not hang the flag because he did not want to be chronoed. Surely any ref worth their salt would start to get alarm bells ringing in their heads as to the reasons behind this! The judge told me he couldnt chrono a player unless he hangs the flag. This is plain bull****, any ref can chrono any player at any time in the game, i was told as much by Ulrich after the game. Why else would the Ton Ton player not hang the flag unless he knew he had a hot gun?
What took the piss as well, was the Ton Ton player who came over to me at the end of the game and accused me of shooting hot when I shot him.
The judges bottled it during many games, and it was a shame. The reffing was not anywhere near as good this year as last year.
