Dartford 7s - verdict and results?

[pestilence]

Well said!

I certainly wouldn't want to organise a tourney -it's gotta be one hell of a headache. Remember - for everything you bitch about, there's probably 10 things that went right and you just dont notice them.

Well done to the organisers. Lets see if they can pull it off for R2.

Although - big Dave does need to work on his speaches!!

massive thanks to Dave and all his staff and helpers for a fantastic day!. Thank you for having the patience and nerve to organise such an event, without you paintball around the M25 area would have nothing to look forward to!!

I'd like to add my tuppence worth:

Field Layouts were GREAT! Fast, lotsa lanes and snakes made for quick, exciting games

Organisation was spot on - we were never rushed or left hanging about for any length of time

Marshals were getting stuck in (esp. field three) and kept a good sense of humour throughout the day

All in all, top notch for a brand new venue, I can't wait for the next one (at least I won't have 13 guns on me!!)

P.s Big ups to tha Jiggster, Dave and Liz for having the cajones to put on a Tourney after the constant slating the M25 got last year

And if anyone's interested - Tom from Zone knows a great Chinese Buffet resteraunt about 15 mins from the site, great for Post-Tourney munching and BSing

Just echo all of the above. No point repeating the criticism, its been said, I'm sure it's been noted.

Great day, great tournament!

I'll be honest, when we came up to the site training a couple of months ago, I had the impression of a disaster waiting to happen. The road in was a mass of 1/2 foot pot holes (like hundreds of them) the fields were, well I still have half of them in my back garden off my boots, I never wanted to go back there again...

But I did - my first words to Dave as he did his car park marshall dutied in the morning was Excellent work on the track.

For those that were at the site for the first time yesterday probably don't realise just how much work has been put in to getting the site ready. Well done to all of you!

yes yes and yes oh and oh no!!!!!

well from what points i have also heard yes guys great tourney dave kieran and liz well done.

marshall's : we surprisingly were on the end of a few bad calls this tourney(doesn't happen that much to us lol)but i take nothing away from these boys (and gals if there were any?) Windsor Berks,Outkast's boys and the independants.

set up : the whole site is gonna be a superb venue and am sure dave has plans for it the only things that let it down were a couple of ikkle fings the toilet's,netting height??(one of our spectators got one in the head whilst watching a game on field 3)
food(outta there control i believe?mc d's was nice though at lunch time lol)and the marquee not turning up all teething problems guys am i am speaking for the whole team when i say guys well done and look forward to the next one.

Good job all involved I think things are in motion to get things sorted for next time, I know Kieran and I know a lot of things were far beyond control and hopefully he has already put things in place to sort this out.

Hopefully the tech and trade presence there will continue throughout the series, with the boys at LPS doing a great job teching, nice to see Jim & Jill this far down South as well.


***THIS IS NOT A MOAN***

Any1 else think the no pads under trousers and shirts with padding rule sucked 'cos of the hardness of the ground?? Any chance of Kieran doing a quick poll of the teams that entered into the event and see if they want the rule in place or abandoned?? End of the day it's the players that it will effect and not the tournement series

ps hope your elbows are on the mend Twisty

Dave Stewart would like to give a huge thanks all the teams, helpers, marshalls, vendors and spectators that attended and showed there support.
Big thanks to Pete Martin and his crew for helping with the field designs.

We looks forward to the next tournament and all criticisms raised on these boards or on the day will be taken on board to make the next tournament a better one.


Once again, thanks.
