Something i saw...

But i dont think any judge at this level of tournament paint wants
to do mistakes... but they are only human so i'm shure mistakes
were made and will be in the future..


But one incident i saw..
It was on the Angel field in the finals.. TonTon - Dynasty
A Dynasty player mugged two TonTons at the center barricades...
and the marshals check the Dynasty player but declare him clean
and eliminate the 2 TonTons (they didnt even get a shot back at
the dynasty player...)
Then a french spectator started shouting that the dynasty player
has a hit in his pots... the marshals check him ... clear ..

then other spectators shout to the french guy to shut up..
after the game the french guy starts to shout again that he has
a hit in the pods...

then they check him again ... clean ... and tell the french spectator
that he has a broken ball inside the pod .. but he does not belive
it ... then the dynasty player shows him the clear pot with a
broken ball inside .. now he belives it ...


This is not to hurt anyone or to accuse anyone .. just to give
an example of how many different views there are ..

I was standing about 5 meters away from that incident. The bad thing was that when the pot was shown to the guy, he couldn't do anything but believe it, but he still walked away muttering all sorts of badwords about the refs. This was the closest I have ever seen somebody come to being lynched by the spectators at a paintball tournament...
Just wanted to say BIG respect for the marshalls (there was another one besides Johan involved too) for keeping their cool during this incident, and just ignoring the crowd until AFTER the game. Top job.

Although i myself have no problems with them, the Ton Tons seem to be p**sing quite a few people off at the moment and causing trouble at tournies???????

I was the other guy involved, i realy took great pleasure in that specific incident, i thoroughly enjoyed making a total foool out of that french dude when i showed him the pot, man the look on his face was pricless and the fact that there was a large crowd to witness it, even better
And just to please any french people thinking anything biased was going on, i 141 that same Dynasty player for playing on in the next round of that game

I must say that Ton Ton Flinguers were as good as gold on our field and never once gave us any problems or complained about any of our calls, not once, it realy made me change my opinion about them having marshalled them a few games they'r not all bad.
