Jose, I've been mugged by a guy that was covered from hits from my back two, and he still carred on, marshalls kept me in on that occation, but u never know the next time that player could take someone out while still been hit and getting the elimination :(

it happens, but since derder came out with the 300fps dvd i think it will change a lot...

derder films a lot of cheating and that team gets a bad name; that makes sponsors not happy...

so i think since derder films every game (basicaly) people will probably not cheat or not as much, for fear of getting caught and viewd internationally...
 
That will work for some folks. Others seem to think cheating is part of the game. Which to me is crazy but I hear it more and more. On our current team if anyone is caught cheating they are booted and due to the regulations at our college trialed under the honor system which can lead to expulsion. I think we do this to instill some sort of honor in winning without cheating. I think if some of the more noticed teams made a point of making good examples like that the new players might get the picture its cool again to win straight up and not slide on your belly or knees to wipe a hit off so you can win. But then again, what do I know?

If you get hit on the way to a mug (depending on when you get hit and where) you have to keep going. You can't check yourself mid run and alot of experienced marshalls will agree with that.
If the hit did break then its then down to the marshall to pull your band and keep the guy you mugged in.
As I say alot of this depends on where you get shot and when.

Also if you do decide to keep going you then can't complain about getting lit up like an xmas tree, it's all part and parcel.

It's a matter of degree here Paul. If they've already been lit up like an Xmas tree & they STILL continue their run, surely that's pushing it too far? Or if one of the shots they get on their way to do the mug is a goggle shot, then surely they can't justify carrying on with the run?
I'm afraid that the excuse of not knowing whether the shot(s) broke or not is getting to be just an excuse these days. I know you should carry on with the run until you get the chance to check yourself, but firstly you should go into the nearest cover, not pass 3 suitable barricades (still getting shot all the while) and finish the mug before checking yourself, and secondly I see many people then arguing that they received these self-same shots from the player they mugged, after they had shot him/her when they knew full well they had received the hits on their way in.

Playing on and wiping is nothing new in this sport, I've been watching it for many years. I think the difference now compared to say, 10 years ago is that in the old days it tended to be more prevalent the higher up the rankings you went, with novice teams hardly ever cheating. Nowadays it seems that even many of the beginners cheat as a matter of course, which I find a bit sad. They haven't got big sponsorship deals to keep that mean they need to keep on winning the trophies, and seeing as all that's at stake is a tin cup & usually not even an individual trophy of any kind is it really worth it?
