[holme118]

Hey all!

I've been paintballing for a while now, but I'm marshalling recball for the first time this weekend. Has anybody got any advice? I know the obviouse, but is there anything out of the ordinary I should know or expect? Thanks!

Just make sure no one obviously pulls their mask up, overshoot and depending on site rules not to get to close to the opposition and shoot the crap outta them.

dont take sh!t of nobody
and as said above just watch out for the gog lifters, its all too common :/

Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself, rest your voice the night before and keep hydrated.
Make sure the customers have a great day - between games walk around and chat, give them tips, make them laugh.

Dont watch the game thats going on waaay over there as there is probably a customer 2 ft away screaming "MARSHAL!"

If you are looking over there, go marshal over there!

Be sure to take a couple spare guns out with you. Site rented guns are prone to failing.

As said don't take **** from no one Ever! Your there for their safty and to make sure the game is played fair.

Just make sure all the markers are chrono'd if it's a non punter day. As you will get people turning there markers up if they are loosing. Yes i have caught people using 350 with full auto and they got kicked off the site with a life time ban.

6. be acertive when giving out instructions (repeat instructions 2-3 times, see points 1-4)
7. between games chat with the players make sure there having a good time

Thanks for all the help. Its mainly a walk on day so I'm familiar with some of the guys (whether thats a good thing or not! ), and its a site that I've played at twice a month for the last couple of years, so I'm familiar with the rules already.
