Oh yeah, I am aware of that, but lets face it some of the teams were`nt just playing their first tournament, + I dont think adding an extra 2 pots to a teams allowance would be that wallet damaging ;)

Nothing wrong with the set up as it stands except that, with the availability of cheap air systems and the increase of participating teams, the demand for H-PAC will increase.
So the final was pretty boring to watch, but then not all the days games were like that, so you can't judge the whole tourney on one match.

If it was unlimited then people would just play bottom division midland masters....

Personally like the idea of playing a mixture of Sup Air and concept fields. Loved the fields at Wolverhampton at the first KOTH :)

i saw plenty of aggresive "moves" through out the day and i put a lot of this down to the fact that the paint was limited,to so little. you couldnt just sit back and throw 9pots a back man at the opps you had to think save ye paint..work out were you could put the little you had to the best use. also it makes it a cheap day for the new teams and thats why the tourney was set up.

as for H_pac its a great idear but the price is another down side for the young teams......ok for a guy like me who works full time and has plenty of dough to blow...but for a young team that only have a saturday job its a big deal,with that and the paint ye looking at a £10-£20 increase per player.

as for the next round im in 2 minds i like woodland and still do a spot...but as it has already been said."its to get new teams into tourney ball" and as blow up is the way i cant see what a woodland novice tourney would serve

This is probably gonna land me in a whole world of S**t but what the hell. Those of u who are up for using more paint are not lookin at playin agresive ball. The way we tried to play sunday was to try and win the game in 3 minutes at a flat out pace, this way we could try and play our normal game without the use of victory by volume tactics. Now without bein to cockey it worked part from the when we played the girls, where we played like headless chickens (no disrespect girls, u rocked) and against blue heat, where i shot one of my own players on the break out, and in fairness they beta us fair and square. If we had more paint, ie a hopper and a pot each then the guys would have been inclined to sit there chucking more paint at each other. My front guys learnt alot this weekend, bout making shots count, moving up the field and also working as a team. :p

so what are you saying....

Do you want H-pac at the next event?
It will add £5 to each players bill, no more.

The ltd paint option stands at a hopper per player, plus three pots for the Capt to allocate.

It looks as though the next event will be at NPG Uttoxeter.

Trigger bounce and how we check for it will be ironed out, hopefuly nationally.

27 team limit.

Any other issues?
