Thass cos
In the meantime I'm looking into transitioning my paintball role for the future--I'm thinking internet curmudgeon.
PS--I'm outta here after today for a week so if the forum goes to hell it won't be my fault.
Manike--Robo unavailable so somebody needed to step in.

Yeah, I know now. I probably bit partly 'cause it's taken me soooooo long to get women accepted as a bit more than novelty value, then someone finds a different excuse to stop me playing - surely you can't all hate me THAT much???
That's one thing though, I do think pball could be the first - I think - sport that's played co-ed as a matter of course...now that would be something. Tha first truly Millennial new sport with no gender bias.
Sorry Teej - all equestrian sports are co-ed, both for the riders AND the horses before anyone asks. First co-ed TEAM sport I know of though

Manike, sorry that you weren't there - but since you weren't you can pass judgement on the fields. I don't see what the difference is in regards to whether yo increase or decrease the amounts of bunkers to get more agressive play - either way the play is getting more agressive (the point) and the games will get shorter. So you theory on 30 seconds games doesn't really hold water.
This is why X-Ball might actually work, imagine 1 to 2 minutes of hectic excitement & play that lasts for 40 minutes - just wish I could be there to see it happen.

that's why I didn't respond and waited for more relevant posts
If you know Jeff, you will know that he is a young fit baller who can play front, or anywhere on the field. He was one of the guys complaining...
I may be a lanky git but I also like playing front and getting as far up field as possible. It's just tough for me being so big to make it to the front on the break, so I usually start mid/back and work my way up field.
If there were more bunkers, then I would be up the field a heck of a lot faster. Less bunkers means people stagnate because they don't want to risk moving up.
I think it's good to try different field designs to promote a greater style of play. I just don't agree with removing all back/corner bunkers. I'd say have them, but block where they can shoot to with other large bunkers further up field... (things like the diablo arch) that way people can get into the game BUT HAVE to move up.
Maybe that would be better for spectators? let's face it, how much fun is it for spectators to watch people shot out on the break? not a lot.
Surely it would be more entertainment to watch 'lard ass' wobble up the field via a few bunkers before getting mugged out or even watch lard ass wobble all the way down field to mug someone...
I watch a lot of games of paintball and the best games always seem to happen on more complex fields with more bunkers. Because people have to move to get angles and because they can move.

It doesn't mean we can't discuss it
I was talking more about the theoretical consequences and from the posts that were made by others attending.

Baco, don't go there. I'm trying to stay out of contentious threads where others decide they can speak for/as me...
I agree, but then were Baco Loco or TJ or even Liz there for that matter?

Nike doesn't want lardboy baller wearing a Nike shirt or Nike trainers - sports don't equal fat dudes. Nike wants lardboy fan to buy replica shirt after watching athlete leave out his fantasies in front of cheering crowds. Not my rules...
On a separate note Man, don't think about what YOU look for in a game of ball...we already got you. You know ball and its intricacies and have grown up with em. We need to get new people involved and spectators don't like intricacies - hell, we find soccer complex over here. Lotsa moves, lotsa scores, no deadtime - s'tha American way I'm afraid.
