I agree that the tourny turned out to be great fun, but no matter how much we convince ourselves that 3000psi (more like 2400) was fine, there were times when i wish i had more. We were first game up and i ran out of air after 3 pods! I think almost everyone did in that game and we all just ended up sitting behind our bunkers untill they called time.
I think we have dug our own hole regarding air because we have become so used to having systems like H-Pac that we end up assuming that they will be there (and why not?). I think it is the duty of the organisers to ensure that standards are upheld in Safety and Supply, because at the end of the day, the more these tournaments are standardised, the less people have to complain and make excuses about (players and organisers). There will be no more "i was shot in the back from the other field marshall" or "we are late because we were waiting in line for air marshall" or even "games will now be 7 minutes instead of 8 so that we can catch up" (my favourite as it cost us a flag hang)

But at the end of the day, it was not the end of the world and the tourny turned out to be great. I am in no way slagging the organisers off, as i think they did us a great service by taking on all the risk so that we can play paintball in winter (we must be mad). Thanks to all involved especialy the players, because i think it was the resolve of the players and the way they handled themselves on and off the fields that allowed everyone to enjoy themselves. Its been a while since we had a tournament that didn't flood the forums with controversy the next day (i hope i haven't spoken too soon ).

And to our player who spent the whole day on one leg, I've been looking into the rules about having a runner like they use in cricket if the batsman is injured. Its a no go i'm afraid, so i guess we just have to win the games sooner and give you more time to run the flag back

To all the guys on Wolf, You Rock!

So when's the next one Twizz?

 

[Gurney]

Ok, I did`nt play, I was just a spectator for the day, but for a first tourney I think Twizz and the guys did a great job.
The things that I thought could be improved
Air - Really need 4500psi and self service bars (Hpac)
Fields - For 7man I feel they were a little small, but it did make for some close games.
Marquee - Really needs to bigger to accomodate for players and their masses of kit.

I understand that you only had like 5 teams confirmed until like the week b4, so I think you did a great job

the new dimentions for Millennium 7 man fields are:
30 meters by 55 meters.
Campaign have contacted Twizz about supplying and laying out Millennium fields for his events, instead of the rather random layout of past M25 fields.

excellent news colin!

i am however having trouble visualising 30x55metres, is that smaller than say the spplatch field at campaign?

bout the same i wouold guess gaff

It's roughly the size of the X-ball field at Campaign Cup.
With games going down to 7 minutes, and the right field design, the games will be very fast paced and exciting. This is why you can't have just any old person laying out fields.
For an idea of how the feilds will look have a wander over here:
warpig Miami layouts (menu bar on Left)

There's also talk of changing the scoring in the millenniums,
One rumor i've heard is that you will score 5 points for a flag hang, a bonus point for winning in under 5 minutes, and another bonus point for winning in under 2 minutes, making the total 7 points!
No points if you lose. Just a rumor of course, may be entirely false

 

[ericostani]

the fact that they were putting up fields way into the night, after the floodlights had blown didnt help either, we helped as much as possible, but we eventually needed to sleep for the early start!
well done guys, i'm NOT camping before another winter leg, brrrrrr.
