MIDLANDS MASTERS 2002 - feedback
- Thread starter blakey
- Start date
Mmmm
See the problem you can have as an event organiser. You take one simple rule, ie limited paint, and which ever way you impliment it you still will find disagreement amongst players as to which way is best. Here's our view on it.
Limited paint is there to try and encourage the player to look in more depth as to how they and their team plays the game. Communication, cover fire, intelligent secondary moves, and more still, become critical when you know the paint level will not with-stand the usual onslaught of paint consumption. As to what constitutes limited paint, as we see it and from personal experience from playing limited paint events if you approach the game correctly then a single hopper of paint is ample to see you win a game on nearly any field, off course it is a challenge but isn't that what we love about paintball the challenge of the game.
As for the rules. We use the current UKPSF rules with a few immendments. The immendments to the rules are sent to each team captain prior to the event. We will hopefully have a copy of the UKPSF rules soon and wil then endevour to get a copy to each team and each marshal involved with the Midlands Masters.
As for the toilets, this has been noted and we will look into this in the future.
Jinxy - as for the beer and women, just tell me where you want them.
Thanks for the feed back and keep it coming in. Without your help we cannot improve the series in the ways you the players want it improved.

Try this for an idea
Instaed of only a hopper of paint, how about the whole team is allowed only a hopper of paint, except the captain who is allowed three pots, he can give them to whichever players he likes.
We could go one step further and introduce a paint handicapping system, where a novice team captain is allowed say four pots, an amateur captain three pots, and a pro team two.
What do you think?
What are your views on the centre flag?
How about a time bonus on the hang?
Say 50 for the hang if its hung in under 8 min, 45 under 9 min, 40 over 9 min.
Or even on the first grab?
25 points if its pulled in the first 5 min, 20 if its in the last 5 min.
Just ideas guys, lets us know what you think.
The Midlands Masters run by players for the players, with the player in mind.

I wouldnt like to be responsible for checking whether a team has taken 5 pots on betwen them or 4.

Do you mean a hopper each plus pots to the captain or a hopper shared through out the team
Any flag is good, don't care where you put them (within reason)
Points, good as they are.

Have played hopper+pot format, and hopper only and agree that hopper+pot allows for a bit more excitement, but gives you chance to move.
I played a limited paint format at Skirmish nottingham where each team was allowed a certain number of boxes of paint, so it was up to you to manage how much paint you took on each game, this was quite good, we had 3 boxes left at the end and came 2nd. But, this type of game is open to cheating as people can sneak in extra paint.
Allowing only a hopper + pot onto the field is much easier to control.

Blakey,
You are just like those generals in the WW1; you site in the comfort of the safe zone coming up with big ideas, us poor marshalls then take the flack for it.
How about the event organizer coming with a better plan.
I say shoot the organizer, all those in favour say “I”
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
Well that’s it, the I’s has it
