if you actually plan on shooting that much paint then you seriously need to rethink your game plan.

Limited paint makes your players move cos you can't afford to just sit and shoot, if you learn how to play limited well moving up to unlimited is easy.
Thats only 2 pots per player. Again I need to stop people moving and that involves shooting a lot of paint.
Not to mention Sweetspotting on the break, theres a hopper gone straight away....

Gotta agree with that. Limited paint means you have to make as many balls as possible count. You can't just sit on a bunker or fire lane, you have to work the angles to pinch people out.

Saying that though, there's nowt better than blatting a couple of pots at a cokecan, listening to the fat on the backman wobble!!! :D
 
Limited

Hmm... I'm sure that Tony will be back shortly to tell me that I never play for long enough to repot but here goes anyway:

I like limited, it is a great leveller as it means that players without stupidly fast guns and stupid paint sponsorship can still compete.

Though I would say that its great to see a mixture of both on the circuit, they both have there place.

Richard (one-day I'll actually re-pot during a game, one day!)

Richard, you're limited to 5 balls a game..... Not through choice....

hey, I wouldn't want to let you down by not posting would I?

Anyway, back to the thread, yes, both have their place. Unlimited is nice, but limited allows nice, cheap tournaments!!! No £500 paint bills!!!!
