Stoke MM RD 6

[Dark Warrior]

two teams in the same division isn't cheating m8 just that I thought it was pointless exercise. I assumed MM felt the same way, because i had not previously seen it, but they don't so I respect thier decision and no longer care

Can I call the kettle coloured please

Hold on i'll get the dictionary out......

wait there, Ah, here we go....

SANDBAGGING- A tactic often adopted by teams with a feeder team or second team in the lower divisions, whereby a player(s) from the "A" team will actually play for the team in said lower division, to actively try to gain an advantage by playing against other teams of a lower level.....

and to the person who said not to talk to us get a grip its only a game to be enjoyed by all of us,there is a difference between friendky banter and rivalry and blowing it out of all propotion bitchin and nastiness,so to all concerned could you all be man enuff to let it drop now shake hands and start enjoyin the game again!as it was intended cos if that is the tourney seen now i might as well quit again dont want to be involved in a sport where i COULD end up being assaulted like in the old days which i still remember and have seen where brawls have kicked off.

What I am about to say is my opinion and not that of my team (unless they choose to agree).

This is my first season playing tournies as it is for my 13 year old son who has a regular place in the team line up. During the MM6 at Stoke I witnessed two sides of the game, one good and one not so.

On the Saturday evening there were several teams gathered round for a B-B-Q and a few beers - it was a great night with fellow enthusiasts for the games having a laugh. My son enjoyed it too and remarked upon it when we got home in that he feels "part of the scene" as he is excepted by you guys even though he is only 13 - Thanks guys! (thats the good bit)

On Sunday I witnessed at least two serious "bust ups" on the field both of which involved plenty of swearing and in one case the offer of a fight. In neither of these cases, as far as I can tell, were there any consequences for those involved. Now what do I tell my son when he asks why grown adults are ready to fight over a game of paintball. I don't care how important the game is or whats gone on there is no excuse. I hope never to take the game so seriously that I am prepared to batter someone as the consequence of a bad call or any other reason.

A saint I am not and yes I have been Pi55ed off during games but it is a game and behaviour like this does not do our image any good at all and certainly does not encourage youngsters to get involved. I ask you this, if it had been my son that had caused the outrage would he be offered out for a fight? I hope not!

More and more we are trying to expose the game to a wider audience but its not going to happen if it kicks off like it did on Sunday.

My two pence worth and ready for the flames

Most people who take their ballin this seriously get the urge to do wot was mentioned but wot sets us apart is that you keep it under control. I get very worked up before playing a game and can understand the frustration of a bad call or cheating etc, so I know wot it feels like, but fighting on tha park is a big no no. If it got out of hand markers could be used as weapons and that s not cool at all

As for the swearing thing you mentioned, I am just as guilty as players you said, when something doesnt go the way I want it on the field I get angry and sumtimes a bad work will pop out of my gob, but its just the way I get it out, yes swearing is an issue in paintball but I don t think that its a huge dilema.

no excuse for it really but it happens in footy all the time... and they get a pretty wide audience, as long as the marshalls are on the ball things should be ok. It is a game but its a competative game and people are passionate about it... they are bound to get somewhat worked up.

I saw the two incidents you witnessed, seemed to me they were cover ups for feeling a bit silly, and feeling like chumps. There is no excuse for it! Hopefully you and yours are wise enough to understand that the minority always gets the attention(good or bad). I hope the rest of your day was enjoyable and the youth of this sport not discouraged.
