I think it is the same thing.. yes from a different side... but very similar any way... if people are not happy with a marshalling decision on a field they should speak to the marshalls on that filed, then the ultimate of the series.. not just flame the marshalls on here.. or any where else...
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..

Shockwave

Hi bud, i can understand what you are saying, my Team has been slagged of from day 1 up untill very recently, I think people should be named and shamed, or have the balls to stand up and say sorry when they have it all wrong.. When I marshalled the leg and cobham the only thing in my mind all day was fair play to all those that came on to the field and to do my best not once have i ever gone on to a field thinking Lets screw this team over, Sometimes these small minded people forget that one day they will be on the field with you being there marshall (note as i know you guys are proffesionall about your play as well as your marshalling) but we all know that what goes around will come back to haunt you . I and my team I would say are honest and fair players.

So mate let the small minded people get on in there small worlds, we all will bitch and moan about something its human nature. But it takes a man to stand up and appologise when wrong... Good luck shockwave for the future...

To a point I would agree but I would like to find out who the marshal or marshal’s where as my team had a problem with a set off marshals on the day. Also want to find out if it is the same set of marshal’s from previous Dates. If it is then surely something will be done.

Criticism good or bad is always good if no one criticised then we would not know if there was a problem so the problem would not be resolved, and no way of making the tournament better.

Also how would they like it to be done to them when they enter a tournament I would not condone such action but I bet that they would not like it. NAME AND SHAME.
