The Germans are well known for being thorough at whatever they do.
And given the difficulties of playing paintball in Germany, let alone starting a league or team, we should all take our hats off to these guys, win or lose.
Jay, as far as dealing with the political problems the Germans faced when playing paintball and setting up sites etc .... they are a tad unique I woulda thought ... I somehow don't see us facing the same kind of political backlash.
I know some people are gonna quickly jump up and in between 'duurrr's, mention, 'nobody is immune from 'political' problems'.....well of course, this is true but it is the nature of their problems we are talking about here and the consequent experience acquired....
Steve Bull has been tirelessly sorting these 'political' type problems out for years in the background of our sport, problem is, he don't boast about it or advertise the fact ... nah, I don't think we need to look across the channel just yet.
Secondly Jay, setting up new leagues or whatever isn't exactly rocket science here, in fact, it is so commonsensical as to border on the insane as to how anybody could go down the 'stooopid' road ....
I of course, readily concede, we have gone down such a road in the last few years but I would venture, the Fed have enough brains and experience and in most cases, commonsense, to be able to arrange our league system sensibly, effectively undoing the 'stoopid' road bit.
But remember here, it was free enterprise that created our problems, the ethos of a federation has different criterion of operation as you know ... and this is why we (Fed) can reorganize with authority and justification.
And Jonathan??
