Toulouse Draw - CHANGED
- Thread starter Beard
- Start date
Man I had our primaries and secondaries all mapped out based on the teams we were going to play. All that is now lost, guess I will just sleep on the plane now instead of coming up with plays to take down Shockwave Am on the Xball field 
Everyone have a safe trip, see you guys this week.

So I ask again...how are you seeding the NXL teams? There is nothing to seed them by, they play a different format. Right now the question is "does X-Ball make them better, or make them to reliant on coaches?" What happens if you seed all these guys as tough and they suck because the audience isn't yelling "Go now, go now!"? But that's fair to them, right?
As far as the fingers pointing to "so and so complained so the draw was changed," how is that so different from "oh what a coincidence, these teams got a better draw and they are sponsered by so and so." Not saying either is right, but why is one okay and the other not?
I'm not trying to level any accusations at anyone, but I'm just trying to put this in perspective. I don't think there IS a good way to do this that is 100% fair to everyone.
And before I get the canned "who the hell are you?"--You are right, I am a nobody as far as 'the industry' is concerned, but I am an avid player and an avid spectator and a regular reader of these boards. I respect the opinions posted on here and admit that I am playing a bit of devil's advocate, but I think the points need to be made if for no other reason than they can be directly addressed so one side or the other's argument is solidified.

I would just like to say that ,Nexus dont care who we play.We just try to smash anyone who comes in front us.
I for one was looking forward to mixing it up with usa big boys and sending them home in pain,so dont think that robbo was trying to give us an easy one.If this is how we wanted to progress then we wouldnt be doing the nppl.
Can we try and lay off Robbo this guy tries to do whats best for uk paintball and continually gets abuse,lets find out the facts first and then question him,its getting boring!!!!!
Just thought i would share my views.
Good luck to all the uk teams,lets f"!$k them all up.

Hope I didn't come off as bashing Robbo...like I said, mostly just trying to play devil's advocate.
Few things
I promise not to tell...
Sure I'd love a beer, cheers
I'm looking forward to seeing the new draw now.
