Millenium Series!!!

What do players who have played the new dead box rule think of it??? (Players not being able to watch the rest of the game once shot out and not being able to interfer with the rest of the game (I agree with the last highlighted part but what about the rest of it????????))

Marshal Aid

I think the main reason it was done is to stop all the agro and 14 man debates at the end of games. By reducing the number of people watching you reduce the opinions. Is that a good thing ? I think so as most players have a bias or different view to the marshals any way.

Did it work ?. Where it was inforced but several times in Toulose it was't. Mainly the Pro teams, no surprise there. Same as shooting before crossing the line, enforcement was hit and miss !!

I think its a good thing for the sport, just a nause if you get hit early and can't watch then cretiqe afterwards. Small price to pay tho.

I can see why its been done but to be honest it lowers the teams enjoyment of playing tournies.

Unless you are lucky enough to have a big enough squad to have people tape the games then frankly it seems a little ridiculous to me. I pay a stinkin fortune to get to and play in Millennium Events, If I get shot out (as a front player it happens) on the break I don't even get to see how my pals are doing. Thats the important bit. I can't learn anything from the game as I can't even help by telling my pals what went right and what went wrong.

In Sweden there was absolutely no concsistency from the Judges on this. I saw innumerable games where Pro teams stood behind their barriers watching every piece of the action without a single judge saying a word to them. Certain Am teams got away with it to, but a number of the minnow teams like us were hammered over it.

On the same field following the Ton Tons, a Judge warned us three times for glancing back to the field as we sat down in the dead box and again with our entire team in the dead zone. He even told us off when a guy tripped up and fell out of bounds on top of us. "You shouldn't be looking that way - I will be watching you!!" You know what I think of that.... He can kiss my Guernsey A$$.

A good rule to stop trouble but a poor rule in relation for player value for money.

Surely a better answer would be let dead players watch but if they step out of their dead zone or onto the field then hit em with a penalty. A minority of players who indulge in these fist fights and bust ups have spoiled it for the rest of us.

team dead zones

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH PAVE,THIS IDEA TOTALY SPOILS ALL THE ENJOYMENT OF THE GAME FOR ME.NOT BEING ABLE TO WATCH UR TEAM MATES DOING THERE THING.NOT ONLY DOES THIS STOP U LEARNING FROM OTHER TEAMS MOVES AND TATICS IT SPOILS THE WHOLE IDEA OF PAINTBALL FOR ME.BRING IN MORE PENALTY POINTS FOR ARGUING WITH MARSHALLS AND ACTING IN AGRESSIVE THREATENING WAYS TOWARDS OTHER TEAM PLAYERS,MARSHALLS AND SPECTATORS ETC ETC
WHY SHOULD THE MINORITY BE PENALISED FOR THE FEW,
START BANNING CONSISTANT AGRESSIVE INDERVIDUALS FROM TOURNIES THAT SHOULD SOLVE SOME OF THE PROBLEM.
