Maxs Masters - Finals & various problems

[Dave S ECI]

Does paintball need a Bernie Eccelstone (formula one racing) type figure to sort these sort of issues out?

 

[Birger Lund]

Alright

I only know what I have been told.

Thanks for clearing up the marshalling issue. No problemo.

Congratulations with the title 2001 Campaign Power.

I am unaware if the 9th spot in the Pro bracket was within 64 points of the Tontons..... so that this had any baring on their qualifying (someone else might know this ???).


No.
They qualified anyway.

This sounds odd to me.
IMHO the german marshalling was absolutely the best of all fields. [ You dont have to run and check a player, if you could clearely see, that hes not hit.] And the complaints about them were definetely very very few.
Just think about AAs marshalling (?) etc ... That was damn bad. And they are PROs .. unbelievable.

I think hes trying to offer his totally 'unbiased' opinion about the German marshals

Nah, all this still stinks, Jean Manuel should go immediately, Laurent's team should have all points taken off immediately.

Im not the one making the decisions , but I believe that Jean Manuel is still the right one for this job. He has definetely good ideas and IF it was a mistake to change the rules (did they REALLY change?!) and he accepts it as a mistake, than Im sure, that this is not going to happen to him again.
And thats more than you can expect from most (new) others...
I strongly believe that he still is the one you want to have in this position.

The main problem on the whole issue was, that there was a chronoing after the game with a hotgun from the tontons, but there should not be a chronoing after the end of the game anyway, cause on the captainsmeeting was said, that there isnt.
Now we had the hotgun. On the other hand there was the decision not to chrono after the end of the game.
And at this time the decision was made to give penalties to the tontons acyd. Because if these penalties werent given -> everybody would say that the tontons took advantage and things like that.

And this is where the mistake happend. To have a fair tournament, the decision was made to chrono at the and of all games... and this is where the **** hit the fan.

The rule "up to 305fps > 10 penalty points ; above 305fps -> 50 penalty points) is not only new to the millennium rules, it is crazy, because we dont want anyone getting afert the game. We just want to have pre game chronoing to make clear, that the markers are "safe" and shooting less than 300fps. And in-game-chronoing to catch all the technic freaks which increase (and finally decrease) the velocity of their marker..
So it was totaklly unnecessary. It must have been a technical mistake, that this paragraph got into the rulebook (in my opinion).

On the other hand all of us know the (old) penalty rule (up to 305fps > 10 penalty points ; above 305fps -> 2 penalty points per foot with a maximum of 50 penalty points) ..

So because the rule inside the book was a (technical) mistake the old and everywhere known one was taken. Instead of this it would have been better not to give any penalty points at all, cause that was said on the captains meeting ... thats true. And thats the (bad) mistake.

I think this section from your post just about sums up the rest because what you are saying is downright stupid, I don't care how the guns were found to be hot, any gun firing hot on the field of play is not only dangerous but also cheating and should be penalised......and u say it was a bad mistake in not taking them all off...u gotta be kiddin me ?

Yes. Your right.
Im just mentioning what I got to hear at the organisators tent. And there have been all the ones with their (bigger) complaints ...

But anyway, I dont want to marshal by myself. Its a hard job. You can make mistakes. Thats sometimes hard, but that life. But I want the marshalls to move their asses and I want them to be fair.
And this is something I missed on different (other) fields ....
And I dont care about names. Just about performance.
