The Second Round of Australia's Biggest and Best Tourney series, on what is possibly Australia's biggest and best field went off with a bang.

[Deadeye]

I think thats the first time Menace hasnt made the final?
Go Bitchin...2 in a row..[borat voice]very nice[/borat voice]

[CroC]

Well we (the Mongrel Mob) had a good time. Lots of laughs amidst throwing a lot of paint.

We were down a player on more than half of the games yesterday and today but we thought..."what the heck...let's just enjoy the day"

Two of our players hadn't picked up a paintball gun prior to the tourney but still were willing to give it a shot.

It was my first tourney and I want to personally thanks Dman and Cheryl for convincing me to come along and play and for holding a truly spectacular show. The amount of work they and their team had to put in to make the weekend so enjoyable is beyond words.

:respekt: You guys are AWESOME! :respekt:

Sure we got spanked by everyone, didn't win a game, and heck, I don't remember clearly hitting anyone solidly. :rofl: But it was a very steep learning curve for us randoms and myself. I hope I can put all of what I learnt into my game from now on.

Great to meet so many new people from all parts of this great brown land.

Well done all the division winners, especially Southern Storm. I personally appreciated just having a chat with you guys prior to our game. It just made the whole experience so much more enjoyable.

It was so refreshing to see such comradery. Keep it up!

Now, I just need some sleep...


:sleep: :sleep: :sleep:

Awesome day guys! Nothing to say that hasn't been said before except that I am immensely proud of how we did and would like to thank the ARORA boys for having me on their team :thumbsup: also ozedge for joining us last minute and doing a superb job next to me with that borrowed marker :P

Cheers everybody for a GREAT weekend!

[GEETEE]

To everyone involved in the Super7s weekend, thankyou all so very very much, it was fantastic.

To all the guys who make up Arora, we played out of our skins and finished third, great result, can't wait to gear up again for the Serpi Classic and then Gravity. To Bubba, Ozedge and Ben, thanks for your massive contributions over the weekend. You did alot more than just make up the numbers and if you are looking for a fulltime spot in a team, look no more.

To the guys from Menace, thanks for all your comradery over the weekend (though I thought you were picking up our paint tab after we beat Shenanigans in that quarter final.?.:lol:) It was a pleasure to meet a bunch of genuine top blokes.:respekt:

Special mention to Dman, thanks for being our mentor leading up to the tourney. We will seek your advice again for sure.:respekt: Also thanks to Logan and the guys from First & Only, scrimaging against you guys definately brought us up to where we needed to be.:thumbsup:

And finally, Cheryl, thanks for supporting Dman in the way you do. The two of you make a very formidable team. Just keep him away from operating anymore heavy machinery.

Cheers mate :D

Hey thats what you do when you run out of targets...

[bubba]

hahahahah! i didn't know you lit greg up.. good on ya josh :lol:

Mark, I would be honoured to play with you guys in the Serpy classic and GG, you're all a top bunch of blokes and I enjoyed playing with yas immensely.

I would also like to say kudos to the boys from Menace, they're good at ball, they're damn funny (funny haha aswell as funny sounding :P) and I really appreciate the opportunity to play against them and SWAT.. invaluable experience! Likewise, thanks to Dman and Cheryl for their support and the effort they put in to the weekend.. I'm just glad it wasn't Dman that bunkered me when we played Menace :lol:

[Go0nY]

Congrats to Strategic Sports. Shame we were in a different pool and never had the chance to play against you.

I'm with Souse (in the other thread), the rules say the best of three games, so play it out (there was plenty of light for another 30 minutes at least, the 1.5 hour lunch break didn't help either). Personally I'd feel like it's a hollow victory coming first from only one game.

Field (Action Paintball Perth) 7/10 I know you're still rebuilding from the fire, but the field is looking great atm. Well done Dman, Cheryl and all those who worked hard to get this field up and running :clap:

Team Attendance 8/10 (21 teams, awesome, personally I would loved to of seen more, like x-fighters, Eth's super team and more local talent

Games 8/10 had a ball, a few tough games like Menance (came down to a one vs one, well deserved win Menance :respekt: ), SWAT (6 Shock players (without the "superstar") vs 7 SWAT players (with their "superstar") came down to a draw (suspect draw :thumbsdow ), and Bitchin (damn that game was hard, I can see why you came first in the semi-pro div)

Referees 1/10 disgusting :thumbsdow :no: Sorry but it was. There were a few good fair reffs there so I apologize to them, however the rest of the reffs have brought your reputation way down. I have NEVER seen such a bad performance from the reffs in all the years I've played paintball. I'll use a common term used in rugby league, if the ref is not noticed (and not even talked about) then they have done a great job, but when the ref wants to be the centre of attention, it brings the game down to a level that no one wants to see. I'm hoping that the reffs will assess their own performance and take the necessary action that is required. I love the Super Seven Series, I like the idea of "Reffs Inc" so I don't want them to disappear, but they will kill the series if they continue to act in this manner (in which I don't want to see happen).

Overall I had a great time. Great tourney, great field and some good ball was played. However I feel so embarrassed for Aussie paintball that the US (Carl) and SA (Frans) players who came down under to check out what Aussie paintball is all about.

I guess I should end this with a childish remark that only those certain reffs will understand. TWO FOR ONE...... You f#$%ing morons!!!!!! :fu: :fu: :fu:

Didn't SS win with 5 palyers alive?
That dosn't sound like a coin-toss to me, more like a spanking!
SS FTW!

I personally cant wait untill there is a governing body for paintball like they have in the NRL, AFL, Horse Racing,and all the major sports.
This will then stop stupid and slanderous remarks from players as in all the other sports you would be fined and suspended for speaking out about, what can only be considered as sour grapes.You call yourself a sportsman, and all you do is put down the people that try to bring your sport to you.
No one else so far has supported your views about the reffing so are they true, or are you just saying it because you didn't win. :thumbsdow

Mate I wasnt there so I cant comment on the event or reffing but Simon is entitled to his opinion and has atleast put his name to it........I just hope he takes the time to PM Pete or ring him to let him know where he thought the reffing let him down......I do that for the refs every tourney I play. If I thought the reffing sucked I let them know and if it was fantastic I let them know too

[Andi]

SS FTW!

Too True. But rules are rules - not that I am complaining!!! Finally a (almost) Brissy team wins a Pro event with a hint of Backla$h flavour (Dutto), but not taking away from Neil, Cam, Nick or Geoff's efforts at all!!!!








Anyone have a pic of the field???

[WAH11]

Mate I wasnt there so I cant comment on the event or reffing but Simon is entitled to his opinion and has atleast put his name to it

Theres a time and a place for this sort of comment.
If there was a governing body for paintball this is where you would send you opinion to.In other major sports this sort of comment is called "Bringing the sport into disrepute". There are very harsh fine's and suspensions for this.
If a players in the NRL was to speak badly about a referee in a media conference
than this player would be delt with by the NRL. ie# fined or suspended.
The same would happen in any other sport.
I was involved with the Horse Racing industry for 16 years and if a licenced member of the industry would speak about/or to any of the officials/Stewards in this way they could expect a very long holliday.
This is how sports grow,by keeping this sort of disrespect out of it.

unfortunately I dont agree with the laws that the NRL or any other organisation has about being gagged and not being able to speak your mind.....luckily we arent organised otherwise I would always be suspended.....opinions were asked and he gave his and in no way brought the sport into disrepute.......last time I checked there was something called freedom of speech

WAH I just think your being a little sensitive

[WAH11]

mate this is not like any other sport and we dont have and wont get a governingbody ,,,,, so ,, build a bridge...

Sorry Reapers. I thought people wanted this to be recognized like any other sport.

Sorry Souse,
Maybe your right, i might be a little to sensitive.
But look where the NRL,AFL and the Horse Racing industry are.
Do you think they got this way by letting sore losers bagged there officals.
I can see the wall that faces paintball more clearly now.

[reapers]

Sorry Reapers. I thought people wanted this to be recognized like any other sport.

dont get me wrong i would love to see a governingbody for paintball..but its an extreem sport it just wont happen...yet...

I wasnt there but if this


TWO FOR ONE...... You f#$%ing morons!!!!!! :fu: :fu: :fu:

Was said in any other sport i think the reff would have a fine to.

[Sharpy]

i'll back up goony in what he says... the main reason it was poor reffing was because they were lazy, nothing else, they didn't get in and check players when they needed 2, they just stood there with their arms crossed and then made bad decisions...

but pete, jilli and one or two others still did a good job

[Andi]

It aint a fun or easy job - although that's not an excuse.

Bet you didn't think you'd ever hear someone from Backla$h supporting the refs......(I am enjoying a few Mad Monday :beer:)







.......pete, jilli and one or two others still did a good job

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[TYDDY]

You sad loosers. If a player called for a check it was done, alot of player checked and pulled themselves, which is what should also happen.
I dont doubt Shock wont be happy.
I pulled 1 of thier players for wiping, got aboused for it and even an offer for a fight out side. CLASSY MOVE.
For the record 3 players waiting for the next game came on and said i made the right call as they too had seen this player wipe.
I make no apologies for this. The player in question should apologise to his team as far as i am comcerned.
All the reffs had mics and communicated through the whole game. Standing in the middle of the field would only block lanes, then you would be saying the reffs got in your way.
Sharpy maybe you should come show us how it is done.
I can only but assume from your tears you also need to train a little harder.:thumbsup:

[Rory]

i think it IS a fun and easy job... just gotta be good to run a little bit and shit if turk can do i sure as hell can! just gets tiring from time to time...if people aint interested and are gonna be half assed about it they shouldnt do it:thumbsup:

jew (tm) loves you all..

[Rambo@war]

do you honeslty think that shooting at each other is going to keep us calm if somthing happens wrongly

[Merc]

The weekend was great, everyone displayed a great amount of mateship and sportsmanship. To the boys of Kindred, thanks for the great game. Your chant during the finals of "Storm!!" was ####ing great! If you guys still want to be Storm Bolts you'll have to move to Albany and train with the roos and tiger snakes like us.

Dman and Cheryl you got an awesome pad!!!

[alien]

^^ dude its not very nice to shoot roos and snakes =) although i heard they beat you once... GT was the first to go. (as usual).

[Noodles]

All the reffs had mics and communicated through the whole game. Standing in the middle of the field would only block lanes, then you would be saying the reffs got in your way
i got my ref to ask a ref to get out of my lane and it happened, but i dont agree on the refs walking into the field when the tape player is eliminated..

[Rory]

dude it is imperative for refs to move infield...when they dont is when dudes get away with shit...you dont just stand there like an idiot you lay down so as not to get in the way and when you need to get up and chase a fool down to 241 him then do it and not care about who's lane youre running through...thats the game and how it goes...

and if players whinge about it then you kick them off too!:lol: :thumbsup:

[Chief Wiggum]

I pulled 1 of thier players for wiping, got aboused for it and even an offer for a fight out side.


If a player abused me and told me to have a fight outside, I would make sure that he/she spent the rest of the tournament in the carpark.

That crap is not on.

dude you only pulled one of them???? WTF thats an instant 3 for 1 dude!!!

[ozedge]

we were watching dudes wiping all weekend and chanting 3 for 1 from the sideline!! bastards!!

not going to name any names... some teams we beat anyway others beat us

shits you when you see a team that beat you... wiping like little bitches!

[Rory]

and people say the reffing was good??? what kind of shit is that??????!!!!

[Souse]

If a player abused me and told me to have a fight outside, I would make sure that he/she spent the rest of the tournament in the carpark.

That crap is not on.

I agree theres venting and there abuse....and for people that know me I'm not shy on telling ref exactly what thought of his call........I think refs should get harder on abuses and suspend players for threats and the like

[Souse]

and people say the reffing was good??? what kind of shit is that??????!!!!

Jew unfortunately that shit goes on even at events you ref......you cant pick every thing up that goes on, you know that

[Rory]

I agree theres venting and there abuse....and for people that know me I'm not shy on telling ref exactly what thought of his call........I think refs should get harder on abuses and suspend players for threats and the like

that should have resulted in the whole team being ejected like a scrathced dvd homeboy

[ritual44]

dude you only pulled one of them???? WTF thats an instant 3 for 1 dude!!!

3 players removed. I was one of them. The player in question is not on our regular roster.....

[Souse]

in all the tourneys I've played this year I've felt players playing the grey has increased........not that it didnt happen before I'm just finding its more blatent now, everyones got the win at all costs attitude now......and thats at S7 and AXL


3 players removed. I was one of them. The player in question is not on our regular roster.....


thats good to know actually

[Rory]

souse it was bound to happen...there's no way that teams are gonna keep the honest mentality

but thats what i'm here for

[Rory]

Jew unfortunately that shit goes on even at events you ref......you cant pick every thing up that goes on, you know that

i think we're getting better at it and i'de like to think we have some of the most solid refs

[Bill]

...there's no way that teams are gonna keep the honest mentality

Gonna keep the honest mentality?

That implies they had it to begin with.
There are the good and the bad teams, and the good and the bad players....
Unfortunantly its always been this way.
Cheating by certain teams and individuals was rife in the late 90's.
While there is still a significant problem now, its nowhere near as bad now imho.

Its not just limited to tourneys either. last time we played a social game a couple of weeks ago we had a wiping cheating little prick on the other team (he's luck I didnt have my Mag with me :hammer: )

dude i know that i can stick up for a lot of WA players. and a lot of them still do have the honest mentality and it makes reffing 10 times easier and the tempers low...

its somethign that has been beaten into a lot of players:hammer:

we like beatings:thumbsup:

who's an emo?

[Gonky]

Tell ya what im with OZEDGE here i was with him ( i think it was you anyway bro btw thanks for the kegged beer POD BEER!!) screaming WIPE against that certain team i saw it constantly with them all weekend and wasn happy but o well shit like that happens (jus wait til they play me they wont have a chance to do it) .

i got more pissed that a guy mugged my teammate shot him 4 times in the head/face usually i would aim at the back or back but meh like i said shit happens (i not saying its against the rules but ethics thing thats all).

i tell yas what, if i ever see my guys wipe there fukedon simple as that ive been known to shoot my own teammates for their fukups and i would expect the same from them

[hoRse]

i got more pissed that a guy mugged my teammate shot him 4 times in the head/face usually i would aim at the back or back but meh like i said shit happens (i not saying its against the rules but ethics thing thats all).

\

this happened in your game against first and only and it was my mate that shot him. in paintball you gotta take the shots when they're there it's as simple as that. it wasn't done with malice or viscious intent. they guys head was exposed so it got shot. as far as ethics go he apologised after the game and checked up on him the next day.

[Chief Wiggum]

Do you remember the masters several years ago. I was playing with fallout when leggo was caught wiping. He was basically banned from playing for 12 months and everyone here got stuck into him. Now it seems its the done thing and thats quite sad that pro paintball has come to this.

[ritual44]

thats good to know actually

And it wasn't Carl..... He was watching our game.

yeah pod beer rocks!!!

but it was me you were watching with and it was crap!! wiping pricks

happened a couple of other times i saw as well

one time the ref called him out... no ban for playing on... no ban for wiping, just a hit... that was shit!!!

and to reiterate... pod beer rocks!!! :D

[Gonky]

i hear what ur saying but the guy he shot wasn jus exposing his head (pack and his back was there first) but like i said i didn like it thats all trust me we got beat fair n square that game i would even go to say he shoulda expected it when he chose to hide into bunker so it was commin all im saying is that i wouldn do it if other "targets" were availiable......

and yes POD BEER ROCKS !!!!

was it at the Masters.......


And it wasn't Carl..... He was watching our game.

I knew it wasnt Carl as well.....I wasnt insinuating it.....I was just happy it wasnt one of the regular players that i would know

[Andi]

Im just impressed people are now actually getting caught and penilised.










Sorry for going off topic............

However, I personally believe the best way to stop wiping/cheating/playing on etc, is to have refs actually physically on the field during the entire game - laying down if need be. Thats how you catch them. Thats the mentality we (Backlash) took when we reffed round 2 last year and I didn't hear of anyone getting away with cheating or anything, despite several players efforts.

There is a really good article in the March issue of PGI by Dan Perez (NPPL TOP DOG REF) in regards to where refs should be on the field in relation to where the players are on the field. It shows where refs should move to during the game when players move etc.

If you're a ref, advance your skill base. That's what the players are doing - advancing. You have to get up.

I'm sorry but you can't effectively ref from the sidelines, just standing there.

My $0.02 :bundy:




*****Disclaimer - this has no direct reference to the recent event Super 7s event. Just telling it how I see it as a player and a ref.*****

[Noodles]

dude it is imperative for refs to move infield...when they dont is when dudes get away with shit...you dont just stand there like an idiot you lay down so as not to get in the way and when you need to get up and chase a fool down to 241 him then do it and not care about who's lane youre running through...thats the game and how it goes...

and if players whinge about it then you kick them off too!:lol: :thumbsup:

i understand refs need to move infield.. but just to stand there in my lane , if had crossed my lane to check a player fine, but he moved infield and stood straight in my lane and obstructed me from shooting my oppisition.

[Rory]

i understand refs need to move infield.. but just to stand there in my lane , if had crossed my lane to check a player fine but to obstruct me from shooting?

this is what makes the difference between a good ref and a shite one...i'll gladly eat grass so i dont get in the way and get lit up!

[Souse]

i understand refs need to move infield.. but just to stand there in my lane , if had crossed my lane to check a player fine, but he moved infield and stood straight in my lane and obstructed me from shooting my oppisition.

not to insight people to shoot refs.....but in this sort of case a quick shot gets them to move quick smart and yeas refs should be in field

[ozedge]

not to insight people to shoot refs.....but in this sort of case a quick shot gets them to move quick smart and yeas refs should be in field

yeah there was one ref who played in our face all weekend... lost count of the amount of times he was lit up :D

i bet you take way too much pleasure in that souse!

[Merc]

^^ dude its not very nice to shoot roos and snakes =) although i heard they beat you once... GT was the first to go. (as usual).


lol, GT...everyone loves to shoot at GT (General Target)...lol...mind you sliding into a bunker and finding a snake using it as a sunbathing spot and having it pissed at you is a ####ing scary sight

[Mark:-)]

^^ dude its not very nice to shoot roos and snakes =) although i heard they beat you once... GT was the first to go. (as usual).

I'll remember that as I wave to you in the deadbox, when I hang the flag =)

[Rory]

I'll remember that as I wave to you in the deadbox, when I hang the flag =)

yeah cause your gun was bouncing!!!:lol:

[GEETEE]

lol, GT...everyone loves to shoot at GT (General Target)...lol...mind you sliding into a bunker and finding a snake using it as a sunbathing spot and having it pissed at you is a ####ing scary sight

Of course everyone shoots at GT, its because they're SCARED!!!! :thumbsup:

[GEETEE]

yeah cause your gun was bouncing!!!:lol:

*Grumble, Mumble..... :cry: *

All of them suddenly started apparently bouncing but I spoke to MACDEV and they reckon there was no way they would be bouncing on those settings... So I dont know. WTF???? "Looks up and Shakes Fist At Sky" Whhhyyyyyy??????

Apparently the Refs (God bless there Souls) had a whole heap come through first thing in the morning that were just shooting strange.

Playing with single trigger Pulls Sucks!!!!! But Alls Good Now =) and before you all hassle me No We didnt play with Bouncy Markers.. We had just decided to play it safe.

[Blobby]

wtf^^^^^^?????? single trigger pull???

[kinundrum]

^^^^^yeah what joke!!!!^^^^^

[kinundrum]

who was the clown that made that call?

[Logan]

instead of a 6 game suspension....

[Peanut]

i tell yas what, if i ever see my guys wipe there fukedon simple as that ive been known to shoot my own teammates for their fukups and i would expect the same from them


Dont worry mate, I am only to happy to shoot you if I see you doing anything like that. Shot people for less.:evil :angel: :evil

[Andi]

i understand refs need to move infield.. but just to stand there in my lane , if had crossed my lane to check a player fine, but he moved infield and stood straight in my lane and obstructed me from shooting my oppisition.


keep shooting :lol: he'll get the picture.

Exactly + yelling at them helps too

:armed:

[Souse]

i bet you take way too much pleasure in that souse!

depending on who the ref is.......

So you decided to take the field with guns that you knew were bouncing? And went on to win the event?
Not a good choice to make as a sponsored team, remember what you do reflects upon them aswell.

[adamkavanagh]

i really dont like how evryone hit the refs up for getting in the way, or not doing there job properly, everyone has to play with them! its a bugger of a job to do, and not the easiest either, without refs were would our game be? i would like some of u guys give up ur gun to be the ref! i salute them, they do there very best i would asure you of that!!

my 2cents

[GEETEE]

We Fixed our markers and pete checked them all. As I said all was ok..

[TYDDY]

I would never try to tell some of you guys who are ,Well, ALL KNOWING.
But i can watch 4 to 5 players if i stand up 1 maybe 2 lying down.
If you think reffing is a walk in the park / easy you have never done it properly.
It is usually the teams that cheat / play the grey who winge the most or just are not as good as they think when put in a bigger pond.:kiss:
As for all the gun issues get the promotor / australian government to change the rules and it will make it easier on the reffs coz the players surley cant police them selves.:cry:

I would never do anything to discredit my sponsors as would my teamates, we had our markers checked by the refs. And All was ok :thumbsup: We as a team ended up changing the board settings so bouncing would not happen at all.

But I respect your opinion :respekt: As this is a good way to see anything in Paintball as you are always representing somebody.

[alien]

it took me literally months to get my timmy dialed in to not bounce and still have a light trigger pull... and by not bounce, i mean it WILL NOT bounce... sure, if you every so slightly feather the side of the trigger it will fire 2 shots half a second apart, but thats all... and thats a result of the guns own movement combined with your finger.

Bounce is an iffy subject for sure - bring on the robot i say! =P

[GEETEE]

Just out of curiosity... How much is one of these So called "Robots"????

[tenpinyo]

this happened in your game against first and only and it was my mate that shot him. in paintball you gotta take the shots when they're there it's as simple as that. it wasn't done with malice or viscious intent. they guys head was exposed so it got shot. as far as ethics go he apologised after the game and checked up on him the next day.



i got more pissed that a guy mugged my teammate shot him 4 times in the head/face usually i would aim at the back or back but meh like i said shit happens (i not saying its against the rules but ethics thing thats all).


Ok. i was the guy that got mugged and left a lil dazed and confused (well i kinda didnt remember what happened until the next day). as i said to the guys...its paintball, u go out there and expect to get hit. and when ur the last guy left u expect to get lit up. i made a poor move and a poor position in the bunker and i paid for it. the guy who shot me apologised and came and asked me how i was the next day. there isnt much more ethical or morally cool that he could of done and for that i thank him. and i give massive credit to all WA teams in the division...that was without question the hardest tourny iv played in. the quality of the division in WA is awesome and it will be great to see some of the kindred, aurora and storm boys travel over to the eastern states for some ball. also a massive kudos go out to the guys at action perth, cheryl, dman and grunta for all the hard work they put in to get the tourny up and running. and that grass leaves rouse hill a lot to learn from. bring on rd 3 and brissie!!

yeah i remeber Grav games me n kosta got pulled for bouncy guns that one ref said was bouncing and the other ref said wasn't:hammer: great fun that was still had points taken off ( if i remember correctly) so seein NO punishment handed out whether its ur fault or manufacturers doesn sit well

ill give the answer ive heard a ref say on the weekend

"its ur marker your fuking problem...read ur manual and take the punishment"

to have the full teams markers labelled questionable....tsk tsk tsk doesn look good 1 finger pulls or not it was the fact THE FULL TEAM had issues....:no:

well done mate

[ghostrider]

Where you there jamie

[Jamie_Cracker]

what an event
thanks to everybody that went was a great turn out
dman chery grunta and the rest of the action crew put in a big effort to not only get the site ready in time but to run an event so big
thanks to our sponsors action paintball games paintball chat paintball assasin swift and reactor paintballs for their support
we didnt make it into the finals but it was damn close
the guy that was given a penalty for wiping was guesting for us and there is no way that any form of cheating is condoned by myself shock or our sponsors
having said that iam not totally convinced that he did wipe/cheat but will stand by the refs decision
i think we have some work to do to make our series better than it already is but i think these are only small things

[Jamie_Cracker]

Where you there jamie

hungh???what do you mean??
was i there
yes i was there at the tourny and i saw the mugging
i think i even talked to you at one stage mate

[TIMMAH]

[bubba]

vest? I thought Jamie was in the same boat as me.. I gots extra padding and don't need a vest :D the only hit that still hurts is the damn bouncer I took in the throat :(

[adamkavanagh]

[bubba]

nah not possible sorry mate

[Rory]

why do i get the feeling this will end up to the point where players will be taking pod drinks in their packs out on to the field instead of paint...

[ians]

Whats next ? cocktails on the 50 ..............:lol:

[Rory]

i so finished my pod beer before you shot me!! so you get a 241!!!

[impatient]

why do i get the feeling this will end up to the point where players will be taking pod drinks in their packs out on to the field instead of paint...

Ozedge did nearly did do that. He put a pepsi in his pack, and that was before the kegs were opened.

[ghostrider]

For drinking in the masked area a simple macroline through your grill makes a great straw. saves being abused when you lift your mask for a drink.

[ozedge]

Ozedge did nearly did do that. He put a pepsi in his pack, and that was before the kegs were opened.

i was hoping people would forget that :)

[bubba]

One of my mates has a "Beer belly".. it's like a camelbak but straps to your gut.. he doesn't drink wine so used it (with mucho success) to covertly sip on bourbon & coke during a wine tour :lol:

[impatient]

i was hoping people would forget that :)

No way...its like the joke I heard on Sunday from one of the Shock guys;

What do you call an Asian girl with a food processor...Brenda:lol:

[Rory]

hahahahahahahaha

[Jamie_Cracker]

bloody ringo...those 2 guys are hilarious

[bubba]

Ahhh Lainey, funny man :lol:

[baalbeck]

Great to see paintball conducted in it's truest form, podbeer jokes and players having fun. My first chance to go to WA and meet some locals. Congrats to Cheryl and D man for the huge job they did to bring this op to us all. Thanks to Grunta who spent time away from his family to help with the long hours and hard work. (He does tiles as well).
Congrats to Strategic and the boys for putting the win on the board. One game or three doesn't matter a win is a win and you put the tournament first. A bit disapointing that the Pro division got so badly squeezed for time. Hopefully a few lessons learnt for future. (more games on Saturday????).
Thanks to Jill for on field reffing and great to see Pete and the Chrony ref (sorry no name?)keeping things going off field or we could have lost more games.
Congrats to Bitchin for stepping it up for back to back wins and taking it from defence to offence. I hope some of the WA guys have had a taste and will come back to chase the wins. You guys are more than capable.

I will be posting pics on PBCHAT later so check it out and pm me if you want a digital copy sent out.

[longy]

what paint was SS shooting????/

paying for frieght for proto to wa was not a good idea (but we did think about it though).$$$$

[Rambo@war]

at least proto doesnt stain !!!!

[Roosta]

at least proto doesnt stain !!!!

Don't get shot then.
:rofl:

[Leroy]

Don't get shot then.
:rofl:
:yes:

[Bareback]

Im just impressed people are now actually getting caught and penilised.










Sorry for going off topic............

However, I personally believe the best way to stop wiping/cheating/playing on etc, is to have refs actually physically on the field during the entire game - laying down if need be. Thats how you catch them. Thats the mentality we (Backlash) took when we reffed round 2 last year and I didn't hear of anyone getting away with cheating or anything, despite several players efforts.

There is a really good article in the March issue of PGI by Dan Perez (NPPL TOP DOG REF) in regards to where refs should be on the field in relation to where the players are on the field. It shows where refs should move to during the game when players move etc.

If you're a ref, advance your skill base. That's what the players are doing - advancing. You have to get up.

I'm sorry but you can't effectively ref from the sidelines, just standing there.

My $0.02 :bundy:




*****Disclaimer - this has no direct reference to the recent event Super 7s event. Just telling it how I see it as a player and a ref.*****

I've not read all of the thread yet, but it looks like the clown hat might be replaced by either a police or nazi helmet...
