Come on... do you expect a thread like this to actually escape the censors?

This is nearly a sad enough topic to make it onto Judge Judy though...

This is prime judge judy material! Thats where this shuld all be settled. Maybe its a case for the people versus?

Either way it quite clearly shows the depths to whch people will sink to when money is involved. Am i also right in thinking that this isnt the first time the PA has tried to use crap legal advice?

I am a 'censor' on the PA boards - no thread exists there or has done yet on that topic, anyone who wishes to do so is fine by me to.

Screw that ol fart. Ally McBeal never loses and folds neatly into most kit bags.

John Cage was the best, by a long shot, especially with the squeeky nose...

Well, it's refreshing to see that I am not the only person being threatened with legal action by the PA and its representatives

Surely, the PA knows that the main reason teams left the tourney in the first place was due to the cost (not just entry - but the fact that tourneys cost a lot of time and money to all those involved). Trying to take even more money off a team smacks of capitalism to me (just like banks that charge you £35 for knocking back a £10 DD - then charge you for being £35 over-drawn!).

I can see the PA's point - it costs money to set up tourneys - and you need to re-coup your losses somewhere - perhaps a % non-returnable deposit would have been a better idea?

There is NO real money in UK paintball - so why do people insist on trying to take what little bit there is?

Maybe instead of teams trying to improve their paintball skills etc. - they should take up a SPORT that has real rewards - and actually costs a lot less to play (a cheap football is only 99p!).

This way - we can all be friends again - and that lovely Americanistic word "sue" shall never rear it's ugly head again. Oh sorry, I took a trip to fantasy land then...

That death-nell of UK paintball is getting even louder and more frequent. Forget ramping, petty in-fighting, personal issues and now forget that replica firearms bill - we are just killing ourselves!

Paintball as a recoginsed sport in the UK? I think it's time we all woke up and smelled the cappcino! It is NEVER going to happen at this rate. It is going to remain nothing more than a VERY expensive hobby - with less and less people playing it.

So, this is not so much the death of the PA - more the lowering of that axe hovvering over UK paintballs head.

Come on Ben... there is a big difference between a moderator and a censor

Good idea Raffles, that would have made far more sense I think. Nice, clean, simple.

Sorry Dave, don't get what you mean? Anything dodgy goes on the PA board it is usually me or Ian Burke who removes it.

What else do you mean?

Can anyone remember what was on the small print of the team registration form?
