NSPL 19.03.06 - The STUPID new 141 Rule
- Thread starter Nick G
- Start date
as I may have pointed out in a previous post, more marshals = more people to pay = higher entry fee = less value for money = milleniums 
Ok so the milleniums offer a lot on top of extra marshals, but the rest is true.
Marshals don't come cheap, no matter how much we whine about not getting paid enough to be shot to bits.

think of how many ppl actually play 20 teams at least 140 ppl charge n extra 5er thats 700 quid
Why dont the Various regional Leagues/series around the country use Refs from other Leagues/series.
If the dates dont clash, it could be nice little earner for a team and eradicate any percieved favouritism that may go on.

Not a bad suggestion, only 2 hang ups I can forsee,
A) Not everyone lives and breathes paintball, if you marshal an event or play an event up north, are you going to have the time, or inclination to take another weekend to come down south and marshal some other teams?
This of course assumes that a) the team isn't training and b) we don't get into an argument about making UK paintball better for everyone
B) You might increase the entry fee by £5 per person, but that isn't going to pay the fuel for a load of marshals to drive from say Manchester to Ashford is it? Thats a helluva lot of fuel.
Other than that, its a nice idea

I would not expect the same teams to do all of the marshaling all of the time.
So on a rota,a team plays in its League, then a couple of weeks later, travels on a sat morn, Trains on the fields they're gonna be marshaling next day.
They would be paid for marshaling and the organiser would have to stump up for a couple of hotel rooms and fuel.
Thats a man that understands....nice oneMarc0 said:Before I start I was NOT at Bristol yesterday, even though some of my guys were.
Being a marshall is a very hard job, you can only make a call from what you see.
You cannot be swayed by who the player is or the team he/she plays for.
You have to be consistent through all the calls you make that day.
And for those who moan about the quality of marshall after every call goes against them some day........try it for yourself, if you have the balls.
Only people who have been a judge at a tournament can understand that its is a **** job, not done for the money or the "powertrip". its because you love our sport and go that little bit further than the guy moning at you about that hit that wasn't a hit.
I can name dozens of teams in the UK who have the capability of judging at tournaments but never will, they are quite happy though to complain when there are only 4 or 5 marshalls on a 7 man field, 2 of whom have never judged at that level before.
Put up or shut up guys, not happy with the judging at a tourney series, try getting your team to judge a leg instaed of play one !
