Thanks To All Who Turned Up At The 2002 Series At Nottingham

[kris]

What a great day!
Good food and friendly atmosphere.
Hyperball was different
but did anybody else find the woodland field, just plain Cr@p?
It hadn't had much thought put into it and had some very dull games on it.
that was my only bad point though
Everything else was top quality
role on the march
cheers

I too thought the woodland field was very bad. On a good day I hate woodland fields but would not have minded playing on the fields they use for the punters, with the log bunkers. Instead we get a poorly set up net field. Come on guys, a bit more thought and you could have had 4 excellent fields. The concept fields (hyperball and sup'air) were awesome as per usual and even though the woodland field put a dampner on it, we only had 1 game on there all day Nottingham site is one of my strong contenders for field of the year again.

no pleaseing some guys

hey guys and gals.
we all know the woodlamd field was a bit of a let down .
but we have to start some where, it was a noval idea and with a bit of though i am sure it will be better next time.
i just wonder if the players that are complaining are the players that lost on the fields

no pleaseing

just a thought guys

We lost one and drew one
It was a superb day so i am very pleased!!!
but that field Was disappointing, no offence.
No moves could be pulled off because you could see everything and was impossible to snap shoot cause you saw the guy coming out!
Also the netting wasn't right so there was only a few bunkers that were safe. Big gaps at the bottom meant youcould easily shoot their feet.
Nice idea, poorly executed

No offence taken.

We are always open to constructive criticism.

However there were 25 solid wood barricades on that field, more barricades than on one of the sup air fields.

Some teams loved the woodland field, some (obviously) hated it.

Lets wait and see for next time the series is down here.

Only played on it once, and that was in the playoff agains JCS Imperial. I couldnt really comment seeing as we only fired about 10 balls each!!!

Its not because I lost on the woodland field. I lost on every field and in every game. Not a good last tournament (in terms of performance) with the Stupid Troopers before I move onto JCS Inferno, but we did have a lot of new novice players in the team. Regardless of the woodland field, it was still an amazing tourney and I always look forward to playing at Nottingham. Just a pity that I cannot afford to play the 10 man

I'll second Shuck's comments! Coming from down south, it was a light relief to play a concept tourney at a different site. The concept fields were great, supair was well laid out with close in snapshooting and furious battles all over. Hyperball, well what can i say, bit of a new one this but i'm sure it will grow on me (less over agressive play from a few opponents would stop my head hurting though!! ), its certainly different!! The woodland field (and i've played my fair share) sucked BIG STYLE. It was trully lacking in imagination and made for a boring defensive game that entertained no one. Try varying the height and density of the barricades and the material used and the field could be much better.

Thanks has to go to the organisers - Bully, Big Ian and the rest (don't know names yet - i'm new up hear!!) and of course all the teams we played. Biggest thanks of all has to go to the Troopers who have taken me in as their very own southern fairy!! and Shuck who got in touch and invited me down. Good luck with JCS mate!! Also thanks to PeeGee for fixing my marker without a second thought - much appreciated mate!!

Finaly, good luck to JCS Imperial and Inferno, you guys proved in the games against us that you have the ability and the determination to help take paintball in the UK to another level (Shockwave, watch your backs!! ) this can only be good thing for everyone!

See you at the next leg...........
