If EVERY marker was checked & then tagged, somehow, at the start of a tourney, surely bouncy triggers & dodgy boards would be eliminated ?
Why complain about ROF anyway ? If you think it's a problem, spend a few hundred hours practicing yourselves & then keep the quicker guy's heads down with 24 or 25 BPS. Faster markers will not make the game static IMO, everyone will be proportionally faster ie, guys firing at 10 bps may achieve 16bps & guys presently getting 16 bps could get 24 or so, so it wo't really make that much difference.
Going back to trigger bounce, one of my teammates brought up a subject at the last training, which seems relevant here:- if trigger bounce is totally illegal, are all RT Pro Automags, automatically banned from tournament play, seeing as how they actually rely on trigger bounce to function? What about tippman A5's with reactive triggers? I know there's not many of either on the circuit, but I did see quite a few of both at Simply The Best Speedball this year. As a marshall at this event, & knowing about this phenomenon, I was put in a dilemma. As it was I kept schtum, but should I have banned the respective players?
As for "fanning" triggers, a case in point is the new "wheely" triggers, that are specifically designed to be used this way. I can't for the life of me rememner who designed or makes them, but they have been totally banned from all tournaments (so I heard)
Therefore "fanning" as a method of trigger control must also have been banned (which has p*issed a teammate off, he's just ordered one for his X-Mag!!!
)
Just my 2p
