Yep PSP mode even with runaway guns...

But that will probably change in the next event: No Ramping 15 BPS max. Nothing certain as always

My major question is: DMA fire mode was supposed to be 15 BPS max but never saw one of the famous BPS checking boxes as promised... and I listened to several marker shooting over 15 BPS with ramping..

Hope they finally end with the ramping markers because although is fun to play with it, it can cause some serious injury in a near future (knock on wood..)

Cheers

i heard a few people got knocked out cold over the weekend!

yep i heard a team playing with their cockers, had to be over 20 bps at least

i think if you are going to inforce a rule you ahve to go the full length. The only test that were made were FPS and hitting of the bottle

i think that saying its gonna be semi capped at 15bps wont solve anything

people will still use ramp and will still shoot over 15bps if nothing is brought into check for it!

yeah, and they allowed ramping (verbally) because they 'couldn't stop it' and now they are disallowing it (verbally) in Paris, half way through the season...
It's a mess, and about as consistant as my bowel movements after a week in New Orleans.
Could the WDP/Planet press releases have had anything to do with this? Could it be that the 'stance' taken by those companies have forced the MS to behave more professionally and obey the dictates of thier insurance companies/local laws?

Where's Chicago? Surely he wants to throw around words like "Hypocracy", "dishonest", 'travesty of justice', etc...

And Flash is right, if it says 'semi-only in the rules, why would it take any amount of time to enforce said rules. They would just say ramping is not allowed in the captains meeting, the same as they said it was at the captains meeting in Germany...

Only one modest quibble with your crowing, ITN, and that would be there is a substantial difference between announcing and enforcing. They can announce whatever rules they like but if they are only as successful as the NPPL in enforcing semi-only I doubt anyone will notice a difference.
Of course here's the perfect opportunity for the MS to institute Robbo's ideas from the latest PGI. So many Eurokids seem to like the idea surely they won't complain if there are a few false steps along the way.

Dude I really think that was some player that had surgery on his head before the tournament and had a fresh wound stitched up. The team who knocked him out said that he got shot on his head with 2 paintballs, that's about it. No surprise that he is seeing stars after a head injury which he had before the tourney.

I like the ramping. I think it's fun to play and the games are more even, so the Millennium should keep it and get these little sound testing devices Steve Morris was talking about.
