sorry dont agree... people tend to moan about marshalling with regards to a tournament... ie Crap marshalling at tournament Y.
As a customer of the tournament organiser people have the right to comment on the service provided by said organiser, if they are incorrect I have no doubt the person moaning will be proven wrong. As a person providing a service, lets say a marshall, they are paid to provide fair, quality, unbiased marshalling.
2 vastly different sides of what I would agree is the same coin....
in this case it is fair to say Sam had a problem with a marshall/team of marshalls and made that statement on the forums... those marshalls should have taken that as constructive critiscm if the allegations were true, if not they should have rebuked the critiscim and argued the point or asked the tourney organiser to do the same. In no way should they have sought revenge.
Paintball publications and forums have a long history of tournament reviewing, I hope it continues. That way people know what tournaments are good or bad and the organisers can take on board suggestions..
