Richmond who?...
If you're referring to the individual I'm thinking of and not a small town in North Yorkshire
I doubt he'll have any problems sleeping. I know I don't have any trouble sleeping simply because a few people can't be bothered to educate themselves sufficiently to learn about my "vision" before slating it at every available opportunity ...but hey that's life and human nature Alas it seems that because I do not bend my knee at the temple of X-ball am I therefore to be ostracized for my beliefs by the international paintballing community?...oh dear..how will I ever carry on?... hmmm, sure I'll manage to struggle through somehow...
Just because I personally don't like X-ball and I don't happen to believe it's necessarily the way forward for paintball as a sport, that doesn't mean that there aren't others in the PA organisation who do like X-ball and would like to to see the PA develop something along those lines.
So am I missing something here? If it looks viable and enough people want it then what's wrong with trying to provide it in an affordable and realistic manner for those guys who don't happen to play for massively sponsored teams?
As far as I'm aware no one else is looking at trying to provide anything along similar lines so for what reason pray tell do I deserve the sarcasm?
I will start at the beginning of your post; firstly, whenever I write posts, I 100% endeavour to be accurate lest somebody accuses me of of either lying or at best, bullsh!tting. I have written well over 3000 posts, that policy has served me well...you get my point I hope?Originally posted by Hatts

Now, you imply I have slated your vision at every available opportunity, please point me to whichever threads where you think (and there must be an awful lot of them if it is 'every' oportunity) I have slated you....or your vision.
When you have convinced me you are not indulging yourself at my expense, I will answer the rest of your concerns.
this does indeed sound like a interesting offer, but, and this may be a silly question as i only started playing tournies this year, can anyone point me to a set of rules for this format
I keep hearing about penalties, timeouts, coaching from the sidelines, very quick turnarounds and the like, but i have not managed to find anywhere that fully explains the rules / concept of this format
anyone....
it's a bloody awful site, rarely updated but it does feature the official rules:

I'm sure there are some better explanations of the actual game mechanics on other sites that were published around the time of the first Nation's Cup event. Be worth doing a Google to see what else you can find that is in a more editorial form.

You run a local tournament series, run it well so i hear, but still only a local uk tournament series. Its not the national league, the winner is not the best in the uk, its jsut another tournament series. Yes it has twists, bit of tv and local press but its not a big player. It not the NPPL, PSP, Millennium and PA is it.....
Who cares if you like or hate x ball, thats your opinion and you have every right to it. But at the same time everybody else is allowed their opinion about the PA be it good or bad. Or every time you saw a bad word posted about X-Ball you would see this......
....but for the sake of the whole world for paintball, present and future, tell us your vision....
Hatts, I take it you are still desperately searching for those multitude of examples of me 'slating' you or your vision at EVERY opportunity....well let me save you some time here...I haven't done.
So, what can we deduce from this?
Basically, you lied at my expense for the sake of yet another one of your self-propagandas on our site.
And I will add one more thing, you may well act all blasé about ostracising yourself from the international paintball community (re your last post) but you see no problem whatsoever in promoting yourself, your mag, your tournaments and God knows what else on Paintball Games International web site at every opportunity.
