I’m pretty sure you just missed the point...
I have no beef with the rule, I do however have beef with the idea of refs baiting players to fall foul to the rule
That’s plain obvious - you apply the rule, one for one, and quite rightly deserved aswell

i thought the M5 was really good at this event, reffs did a great job. had no issues at all. and i thought the layout was also a great improvement on last year
Ok so you heard we left because of bad calls and thought I know I'll make these guys look like selfish winkers and start a post on here to cause a bit of trouble.
Well how very mature of you.
Did you get a 1-4-1 for asking the marshall if the games was over and could you come out of the dead box?
Or asking why a marshall didn't do a paint check on you when you asked for it? so he 1-4-1s you.
We threw in the towel because it was pointless going out on the field. our paint wasn't shooting it's best and if I'm not enjoying it then what is the point I'm not gonna go out on the field and get raped just to keep you happy.
So you got one less game, you got your 3+5 for it.
You all say the marshalling was great well Saturday was top draw fair marshalling.
Sunday was inconsistent and at times unfair a lot of teams could be heard moaning about getting 1-4-1's for stupid reasons.
and the whole no tape on your barrell because it counts as a sticker was bollox.
But hey if it wasn't us you started a slag off thread about i wonder if it would have been team invisible or team anarchy for not turining up instead but alas no mention if them being selfish of leaving teams high and dry.
team invisible was a made up team to fill the 42nd spot as far as I know. I didnt pay my entry fees and flights and accomodation not to play. Even if I had been in your position I would have played knowing that it would be unfair on the other teams. Yes I posted here to name and shame you and your reply has made you look even worse cause you would not have lashed out if you didnt feel guilty
You could have easily approached us and explained yourself at the least. We were only on the other side of the prep area.

u shud organise someone else to play the game instead, although i cant see this situation coming up very often.
People pay money to play paintball, not for points. Points are worth nothing in reality!
IMO the millennium should allow guest teams to fill 'no show' spots, no points at steak just the game of paintball you paid for. But they would only do this under pressure from players, as im sure they'd prefer to give the refs a free rest break

I respect your opinion, but alas I disagree. If I just wanted to play paintball I would be in the woods with the punters. I choose to play tournaments to compete. My fun is in competing, and trying to win points - not just going onto a field and pulling the trigger. Any tournament I have been to where there has been a bye due to a no show or a drop out I APPRECIATE getting the free pointsu shud organise someone else to play the game instead, although i cant see this situation coming up very often.

But that is just me.I do appreciate the Reapers view that they came all the way from Ireland to stand about in the rain and just play 3 games on Sunday. Wasn't exactly the way we wanted the wknd to go either fellas.
I gotta say fella, in all the tournaments I have been at or heard about where a team has pulled out I have thought, "Well, I guess they had their reasons". Where it has been a big name team I have felt quite nosey about what went on, ... but I have never felt the need to start up a thread slagging that particular team off.
Like I said, it was not reffing incidents that made us throw the towel in, but rather a range of issues including gun problems, players not turning up, paint that wouldn't hit a barn door at 20', etc. Having spent 6 games being about as threatenning to the opposition as a rubber chicken, we decided we'd rather go away and lick our wounds than continue collecting losses, welts and the paint bill.
You don't know us, and if you met us I'm sure you would reckon we are not so bad, ... so please, lets give it a rest. Like I said, you reckon your wknd was spoiled - try ours !
fair enough, im glad you understand where im coming from, I was there to play aswell as the rest of the team and we were dissapointed. I just personally would never have done that and if we had all the problems you had, we would have at least approached the other teams and explained the situation.
