Roll up, roll up - get your cheat boards here

i know this will never happen, but you can only hope!

Hope my arse.... If found with equipment that contravenes the rules, the very most that I think a organiser should be allowed to do is disqualify and eject the player from the tournament. No matter what the circumstances, organisers shouldn't be allowed to destroy a players property. My gun was caught stacking shots at Campaign due to a setting on the stock board i had been wrongly advised on (the Tr). I wasn't aware of the problem before i went on the field, but once 'caught' I accepted my punishment of disqualification as it was fair and justified. If afterwards the marshals had wanted to destroy my gun then they would have had to pry it out of my cold dead hands.

My gun now is set with a Tr of 1 and is now fully legal and cool with no problems.

Wish that would work, but it won't.

Great article just came out in PGI, but unfortunately even that is out of date now.

Cheating in the last two months and ways to do it and avoid the judges have just escalated significantly. As I kind of anticipated with the advent of the 'robot' etc.

Am working on a solution, but don't hold your breath.

do you really think they are going to go to all the trouble of making these chips undetectable from a stick chip, and then have the buyer busted because they opened the grip up and it said "speedy ramp board"

arnt chips identifed by a number?

 

[Flash-Bugout]

Yup, but the cheater chips tend to be the same ones (to ensure it physically fits the board, works at correct voltage etc), just with different programming.
