SWAT....mmmmmm

[Al Woods]

Full marks to the lads at SWAT and the main man Bully for organising the ruck.

We aint the NPPL or the Milennium Series and not every field, or team for that matter, is equipped for top level tournaments so we can't really complain about the venue (ish).

The only problem being is that the fields were'nt as good as expected for some of us and a large number of teams will more than likely opt out if an event is held there again, especially concerning the theft of some gear which should really have been observed by the venue owners considering the lack of space in the safe zone for more than about 3 teams. The teams participating really do need to be looked after especially if this thing has happened before, which I'd be very surprised if it hasn't.

Cheers to Rob from Inferno for telling me which hole to cover up when he tried to shoot my feet off through it. Nice one son. PLUS, a big thanks to the guys on Inferno for helping us out when Dryll smashed his knee in. Cheers dudes. True athletes, not as much as us but still, athletes all the same (hehe)

Al, let us know how Daryll is and what he did to his knee. It looked pretty bad, hope he is ok.

The tourney was ok, and teams had to adapt to the fields and conditions. Yes they were hard to play and very difficult to push for a win, but not bad considering the short amount of time the site had to orgainise the fields. Let me ask one question, was it better than no tourney???

One thing I must comment on is the fair play of the Mohicans. I saw them play a few games and they play fair. Players were calling themselves as soon as they were hit, not a few minutes after, or after doing a move. Even hits on the edge of masks (which I think are the hardest to judge) were self-called because the players took the time to check themselves. Well played guys, just a shame not all players are like you.

On the whole, the good tourney was marked by the thieft of the marker. I hope the marker is returned and we, as a community, will work together to track it down. Lets not let thiefs ruin our sport. Lastly, lets learn from this sad occurance. Keep markers out of site and in locked cars, and hide all valuables.

Well looks like our moan to ourselves back up the M6 to Scotland was not the only one!

We have to agree about the fields... too short, too wide...too many low branches on the trees!!

Also as Twisted sez.... Speedball Chrono bit mental!!
On the game with them they were down 3 guns we were down 2!

Some great jack-in-the-box moves going on there guys!!!

As one of the marshalls on the woodland field I'd Just like to say thanks for all the teams that played on Sunday, Practically every team thanked us after every game which is nice and made me feel alot better after missing a particuly nice sunny day which could've been spent scratching on my bike

Cheers,

Paul.

Good Day

Great day, apart from the already stated.....

If it wasnt for the 90% Stale mates then the day would have been better!

I hope someone finds RPS VIpers cocker, then releases its power on the thiefs "perculiars".
No need for such **** going-ons.

We had loads of draws, I thought we doing crap, but then someone said were were first in our division. Which was nice.

Shame the fields were full of holes, and they would have been really good if the ground was flat, except the woods field that was just plain crap.

CHRONO FIELD 1

Hi Guy's

Just to clear up the chrono incident on field 1 (Speedball).

Simple fact of the matter: Chrono judge did not know or apply the rules. The chrono judge decided that because one of my players chrono readings were 303 286 284 he decided to disallow the marker on the field . Two other players had shots that read 301 with the following shots also reading mid 280's.

Nothing wrong with that with the average being well below 900. And not any one shot even near the 320 limit as set out within the rules for disallowing markers on to the field. So why try and disallow 3 of our markers on to the field????????? Exactly. End result (dummies spat out as mentioned in a previous thread).

I decided to call a halt to proceedings until I had spoken to Russ (Ultimate of all Ultimate's) and Steve (Bull of all Bullie's) and by the time I had returned to the field, the chrono had been changed the rules had sunk in, and our markers were returned.

The end.
