PGI's Tournament Coverage

[Red_Merkin]

For me, I think that the "Move of the tournament" feature is an excellent thing, and the individual game reviews are cool too. One thing I woudl really like to see thought would be plans of all the fields, so that the accounts could then talk about a game on "Field 2" or whatever and then we could all know what was going on.

Diagrams and good photos of the Fields would really help. I look at the fields and try to break them down, and see how they would play. I think walking the fields and breaking them down is one of the hardest things do, so any chance to see field and analyze it is very helpfull.

But at least I didn't have to go to the doctor with papercuts to my chopper after cutting a special hole in a WWF magazine. Eh duffistuta

I didn't realise the World Wildlife Fund had a mag... Who are the publishers?

I like the full page action shots and some of the pics such as Greenspew (?) bunkering the two 'Lanche(?) players at Campaign as well as the pics of numerous playa's diving head first into their primaries really goes a long way to showing how fast the game can (and should) be played!

Free stuff is always good to! More competitions etc would be cool... Are you going to give up Tabatha at the end of her makeover? Go on, you know you want to.

ps - only thing that pisses me off about pics in all mags is when it is obvious that they have been flipped just to suit the layout...

ie when you writing, stickers etc are obviously back to front!

Ah well, i should REALLY get out more!!!

It actually amazes me that they get time to produce a mag every month, they just seem to sit on here and slag each other off all the time!!!

Interesting point.

What have I done?

You guys all calm down and take it out on the s on miniclip.com

I have to agree with Stan those action shots are cool.

As nice as some more UK coverage would be, I can seriously see why not many make it in, after all we don't hear about many local tournies in the states. I guess that's easy for me to say, I only play the Series 200x circuit, so if we ever won anything we'd be in there... but maybe premiere events like STB Speedball and whatever you guys have down south could get some more coverage...

Anyways, I look forward to hearing about RL's training reguime!

Hey I just had an idea

What if PGI had a "Scores In Brief" page/half page or whatever, like broadsheet newspapers have. You could put the divisional winners and finals results from the Midland Masters, and SWL and some US circtuits in there.

Maybe I'm a crazy fool and I know its not quite the same as a full report, but it'd be nice.

Field layouts are great. It's nice to look at the field plan and see how teams play it. You can also use em for training and team discussions etc... if you are that sad, that is...

I think you should do a pull out edition with field pieces you can cut out and arrange on a field to help with field walking and stuff

You could even have mini players... a la Rocky in full size... and mini refs to come in and wipe down players at the front and on certain teams....

Guess you don't read the mag cover to cover then, as the Paintball game that was covered a few issues back with layouts and players, plus it was on show at the World cup (and I know you were there ) Ok it is a game but to be honest it won't get played as one but to be used as a training aid it is great

As a side note I guess the coverage of tournaments will continue to improve, but then is that just because of Nexus? but I suppose I shouldn't complain too loud 'cos it will get euro-ball covered in what has been until recently has been an American tournament magazine, so perhaps a vested interest in a european team will finally set the balance straight so it isn't such a "bad" thing.

Yes, but when will Paintcheck be available in this country (It doesn't go on general release till 2003)? Of course the same effect can be achieved with Lego, or (as we do) a piece of A3 paper and 10 2p coins.

I really like all the changes as well. I think that you guys should put a new mag out twice a month because I read through the one so fast that I find myself dying for the next issue to come out. But I guess thats what makes every issue the best one I have ever seen. No other magazine comes close to you guys in pictures, tips, or tourney coverage. You guys just flat out rock!

More competition's

I say give us the chance to get more free stuff.....
Dosnt have to be big shiny new markers, but that would be nice!

There are lots of new stuff out there, why dont you give it free, to a comp.winner and get them to review the product?

And about the project Cocker. Once finished and passed on to the winner, can we have a review from them? and keep "tabs" on the marker for a while?
