SAPPA Round 2

[Deadeye]

Sappa Round 2 is just around the corner :bigparty: What teams are going?
Can anyone give me the names of a nice motel near the field?

[noduff]

Accommdation available for players attending the SAPPA Round 2 Tournament:

Whalers Inn Resort
Victor Harbor
Located 30 minutes from Kuitpo playing field
3 bedroom Apartment - 2 bathrooms, fully equipted kitchen-
$297 per night (sleeps up to 6 people)
Ph- (08) 8552 4400 - mention Paintball Sports Tournament SAPPA Round 2 when booking.
www.whalersinnresort.com.au

Single or Twin Share accommodation available.

[Deadeye]

ouch maybe a bit nicer than what i was thinking of:p

[Barnesy]

Does anyone know how far Harndorf is from this Field???
Or is there somewhere to stay that is closer???

[noduff]

Harndorff approx 30 min (very approx)
Please note that the $297 per unit at the Whalers Inn (4 star resort) is for six people per unit, so the cost is a tad under $50 per head. Thats the best I could negotiate based on one cabin. If you were to book on mass, I may be able to get a reduction on price.
Mt Compass Caravan Park has cabins for less $ and is only a 10 min drive from Paintball Sports (PBS) Kuitpo (KPO) field.
Let me know if you want me to get firm prices. Oviously more numbers mean I can negotiate a better price.
Alternatively rough it out at KPO (toilet,shower,BBQ, and shed provided for nicks! - just bring your swag or camp strecher, and sustainence (( or PBS can cater for food etc))
Note: Factor in cool to cold weather in May

Email PBS (admin@paintballsports.com.au) for a map on how to get there

Look forward to seeing you all in SA, on a kick ass grass field.

Regards

No Duff

[Barnesy]

mmmm, grass field :D

Can't wait for Round 2, if the increasing level of competition is anything to go by from the last couple of rounds of SAPPA this will be one sweet event! :respekt:

[Chief Wiggum]

Mclaren Vale Motor Inn, main street Mclaren Vale. 20 Minutes from the field and last time I looked it was $110 a night and that includes a spa in your room and a 2 head shower.

[Chief Wiggum]

And it's freezing down there so if you feel like camping, bring plenty of warm blankets and wet weather gear. (Frost pretty bad too)

[Deadeye]

thanks dude thats a bit more what Im looking for.

[JJJ]

you will be warm enough in your gimp box

[Deadeye]

im not a gimp in my avatar i tell you im a ninja!

[Barnesy]

you keep telling yourelf that Deadeye :whip:

[Deadeye]

he he at least im not you about to get plastered by a paintball lol

[Barnesy]

I didn't get blasted by that paintball, was close though :eek:

Back on the topic, have you found accomodation that has vacancies as we need to book ASAP :hammer:

[Deadeye]

Mclaren Vale Motor Inn, main street Mclaren Vale. 20 Minutes from the field and last time I looked it was $110 a night and that includes a spa in your room and a 2 head shower.

I think this is the go, sounds good to me only has to do us for Saturday night anyway. I havn't called them.

[Deadeye]

Can anyone post some very clear directions to the field starting from adeilaide airport:p plz because i have our 5th player flying in on sunday morning arriving at 8am, so we need him at field asap and dont want him getting lost.

If hes late if theres any team div 1 team has a 6th that wants a game in the first round we would be greatful is that within tourny guidelines?? I swear ive seen players switch teams during previous rounds.

Is it possible to make sure effect has the last game in round 1 against whoever we get drawn to play so we have maximum time to get our guy to the field?...thanks

I am sure someone has clear instructions for you. Night Shade have trained down there.

But as if we will make your life any easier. And absolute rubbish that players have switched teams during a round, and the draw is the draw. Plenty of players have played 1 short for a game or two. :fu:

[Deadeye]

not asking to change draw just have our game last in first round ya knob jockey we still would play the same team just slightly later not going to make a difference to the outcome of the tourny.

[noduff]

Map attached.
Follow the signs from the Yundi road
(Signs start at the intersection of the Yundi road and Adelaide to Victor Harbour Road)[list]

[Deadeye]

thanks noduff!

[Markuss]

remember sappa round three last year we played the first 2 games with 4 players. Rossie's son jumped on for the rest of the day and he hadn't played paintball before..... We were going to play the whole day with 4 players due to matters out of our control.

Technically I dont think that they will be able to give you the last game of the first round because that would be favouratism or could be deemed favouratism by other teams (technically). The draws have always been done at random. If they change them for one team they have to change them for all, no matter what or how good the reason is.

[Deadeye]

was worth asking:) will just cross fingers and hope that we get a late game.

[Studio 54]

sorry deadeye....the draw will be as posted and it doesn't change. I'm sure with your on field prowess you will only need four players! ;)

[Shane]

With some recent changes in the SAPPA commitee and hearing that the proposed venue still needs some work,is it still going ahead as planned?
Cheers
Shane

[Deadeye]

me would like to knows these things as wells. I say we move it closer to Adeilaide so my 5th player wont be late :p :eek: :bigparty:

[Barnesy]

We hear what your saying Deadeye;

But it just sounds like :cry: :cry: :cry:

:bigparty:

[Deadeye]

dont steal Neils material:P Me thinks you will be :cry: after we beat you with only 4 maybe even 3 players:D

[CDG]

As we are reffing can any committee members tell me what Sup'Air field we will be using and where we can get a list of the bunkers...?

I assume it is still up to us to organise the layout...?

[Deadeye]

I heard its an Angel Air field???

[JJJ]

I heard its 500 hay bails so set them up how you like them CDG

[bunkerboy]

J, leave your horsies at home, or we wont have anything to hide behind.

[Deadeye]

will Enigma be playing Bunkerboy?

[CDG]

Wade/Adam or anyone else on the SAPPA Committee, is there a div 2 team reffing as well this round...?

[Chief Wiggum]

Because you guys are so adept at reffing, I dont think there will be a need for anyone else. :)

[CDG]

Because you guys are so adept at reffing, I dont think there will be a need for anyone else. :)

Well we all know that... :eek: It's just good to have someone around to blame any controversial desisions on.... :evil

[Deadeye]

LOL its ok JJJ gets the blame not the rest of the team.

[JJJ]

LOL its ok JJJ gets the blame not the rest of the team.

I dont know why I would take the blame for what Damage does to you I_Play with_Barbies :confused:

[CDG]

I dont know why I would take the blame for what Damage does to you I_Play with_Barbies :confused:

It's the barbies...they have warpped his mind... :confused:

[Deadeye]

at least I dont wear barbie clothes like JJJ

[bunkerboy]

Yes, Enigma will be there to spank your punk arsed bitch team.

[Kristen]

Lol

[Deadeye]

Yes, Enigma will be there to spank your punk arsed bitch team.

good stuff!

[JJJ]

I hope your player arrives in time Ethan as I hear Damage are going to be removing that armband with frequency from you!!!!

[Deadeye]

good luck lol

[Neil]

How many games will each team get?
Finals? Will there be any?
Travelling a long way and want as much paintball as I can get into one day! :yes:
Waiting on reports on how far away Harndorf is...great place to stay :beer:
Cya, Neil
P.S. Waiting on the map to be emailed to me Chief Wiggum?

[Deadeye]

think we could have 10 games this time...or more:eek:? its easily done even with 15 teams, look how quickly we have gone through games at past events, finishing 2 hours early all the time.

[JJJ]

There is no finals and as for games I guess it depends on how many teams enter

[Chief Wiggum]

For info, directions to Kaipto have been posted in the members area. :)

[Deadeye]

Can anyone tell me us how many games we are likely to play if an average 14 teams etc showed up.

[CDG]

Can anyone tell me us how many games we are likely to play if an average 14 teams etc showed up.

If everyone plays each other once... 13 games...?

[JJJ]

Can anyone tell me us how many games we are likely to play if an average 14 teams etc showed up.

Not telling cause you is a total pain in the......... :hammer:

[Deadeye]

ill bring you some new barbie clothes to wear!

[JJJ]

Count down begins, just have to get the 3-man out of the way now.

[skip]

do we have a list of teams attending yet?

[Adamage]

Aming for about 12 teams (hopefully)
As usual no finals
The Ballistic boys and girls will be making the long trip down to REFF!! Massive respect to those guys.
The field will be the 'scott air' cheers scott.
Look for accommadation at Mt Compass or McLaren Vale only 15min from field.

For those who get confused with maps, head south out of Adel and get on the road to Victor Harbor, Just befor Mt Compass there is a big green sign that says YUNDI RD, turn left there and follow the paintball signs to the field.

The car parking area for the tournament will be through a gate on the right just before the main entrance, drive up the hill and our friendly marshalls will direct you from there.

Lunch will not be provided by the field owner, however there will be a hot food van on site for all your tastebuds, as well as cold drinks available at the spectator/car park area and down on the field.

any other questions post away

[Deadeye]

Theres 4 Victorian teams, I thought there would be a lot more than 12? Just that at rounds 3 and 4 last year there was 13-12 South Aus teams. Doesn't matter anyway cant wait, lloking forward to Saturday night in harndorf!:beer:

[JJJ]

Thanks for the info Adam - big bow to the SAPPA committee for their efforts in organising this round.

[Neil]

Yes me and some of my "ratty" team mates will be staying at the Hahndorf resort, should be out for a couple of :beer: s on Saturday night and Sunday night too (we are going home on Monday).
Anyone who wants to join us for a "couple" of drinks, give me a ring on 0419118045. Drinking paintball legend Pat Hookem will be there for all you drinking buddy needs! :bigparty:
Cya, Neil

[Adamage]

4 vic teams! great, Dave was supposed to email me the full list of teams last night but hasn't as yet, so Dave if your reading this.... SENT IT PLEASE :rofl:
The draw will be done by the end of the week.

Can Pete or any member of Ballistic please get in touch with me, send me a p.m. thanks guys. My good secretary is out of the office and he has all the phone numbers.

BE ADVISED - THE BUSY BEE ON SUNDAY 16TH HAS BEEN CANCELLED, IF LAST MINUTE THINGS NEED TO BE DONE TO THE FIELD, SAPPA MAY ASK FOR A FEW HELPING HANDS ON THE SAT BEFORE THE TOURNEY.

[Deadeye]

yep 1 extra vic team every round lately, ill try make a 5th up for the next one:p

[Adamage]

hey dead eye/ pompus frog/ anti drop forward guy, what ever you want to be called, who are the vic's representing at round 2

[Deadeye]

fallout, severe effect, ratpak, and bruise brothers.

[TRENT]

I think sappa's name may have to be changed. You SA better get with it otherwise we will outnumber you soon.

[Deadeye]

I posted earlier but when bills was tranfering I think it got lost.
Severe Effect wont be attending anymore, but Ill still come over to watch and harass JJJ and CDG:) If any div 1 teams are short a player or have someone get injured Ill be availible to play.

[JJJ]

what happened to Effect?
And to think I have all this product just waiting for you!!!!

[Deadeye]

We have another tourny in Qld in a few weeks, one player is in China, couldn't find replacements of his 'calibre':p sorry bad austin powers joke, one player was going to be late, you know the drill :cry:

[TRENT]

There wimps. Couldnt handel all the presume placed upon them by us Victorians to bring the Div 1 trophey home. The task now rests with Ratpak and BB.

[Deadeye]

effect is now going, seeing we found some sluts, but me not expecting we will be playing very good seeing only 3 effect members:( Is there a wooden spoon prize for us if we come last?

[JJJ]

Well make up your mind Ethan.

Are you going or not?

Are playing in this team or that team?

Are you a front player that somehow plays at the back post?

[Neil]

Whats up JJJ? Want to know if all those paintballs you wrote Deadeye-85 are going to be needed or not? :lol:
Keep them for next time maybe?
Cya, Neil

[Deadeye]

JJJ is on the rags.

[Hideous]

How many from Effect are going now ?

I suspect they don't want to play with you anymore!

[Deadeye]

3 effect.

[Barnesy]

[bunkerboy]

Thanks Barnsey. We can't buy any of those batteries over this way;)

[TRENT]

He never said u couldnt. Go look in the shops however and try and find any of those for under $5.

[bunkerboy]

Ahem, hello?....I was only joking?
Btw, I've never had to buy batteries yet, I steal them from my team mates:D...that was another joke;)

[Deadeye]

Can someone please post a list of all the teams attending seeing theres only 7 days to go now.

[Hideous]

Fallouts papers went in late,, it's okay as Effect is Effectively retired

[JJJ]

so where are the extra 2 players coming from Ethan & do we know them or are they rookies?

BTW, looking forward to seeing BunkerBoy take you on as his team was in awesome form dispaching everyone at the 3-man including Kaos to win the title. Apears he had some of that 'evil' paint which I had penciled your name onto!!!

[Deadeye]

lol I look forward to it. Peter Spencer is playing with us now and Peter Graham from s.a.

[bunkerboy]

6 more sleeps...and I think all of SA is looking forward to it as well:armed:

[Deadeye]

i think the game to watch will be fallout vs enigma, cant wait for that one.

[Deadeye]

Could a sappa offical also please notify us of how many games we will be playing. I heard 12 which would rock.

[JJJ]

you hear lots things and see dead people.

Pete Spencer is a handy player with experience so how can you be moaning about your team - or is it because you cant ring in any SWAT players.

[bunkerboy]

You'll be playing however many games you'll be playing. Wait and see Dead-Beat

[Deadeye]

We didn't have Spencer when I thought we were going to get flogged, hes a good player.

[bunkerboy]

So in essence, what you are saying is, is that without Spencer, you're nothing, not that that is news to us:evil

[Deadeye]

without him we are a 4 man team, not that we need a 5th to slap enigma and damage around.

[TRENT]

Would help to know how many games we are playing so we can bring across the relevant amount of paint. It just helps us interstaters bring the least amount of gear possible.

[JJJ]

without him we are a 4 man team, not that we need a 5th to slap enigma and damage around.

I am sure the Damage lads will not take to kindly to that given they are the refs, but I will send them your comment. :hammer:

And why would SA want to help you Vics out Trent! :eek:

[Neil]

Come on guys...where is the love? :kiss:
Nah, whatever...should be a fun weekend with :armed: and :beer:
Cya, Neil

[Deadeye]

Severe Effect have 5 players now :angel: and lookin forward to a cool event :thumbsup:

[Adamage]

hey guys, stii waiting for David to sent me the complete number of teams, i'm hoping around 11 or 12. Remember no finals. So if you ration your paint for about that many games you shouldn't be too far off.
The field is looking great!! just hope the paintball gods are smiling and doesn't wash us out,

[JJJ]

looks like the weather is meant to be ok

[Deadeye]

you beauty! we always seem to have good luck at sappa though*knock on wood* i remember round 3 when there was storms and stuff everywhere and just a little clear patch above the field that stayed there for the whole day.

[skip]

who cares what the weather is going to be like personally I like the rain. lets just play some ball :armed:
PS; deadeye u better bring some gladwrap incase it rains wouldnt want to get water in your borg :lol:

Some teams who will remain un-named wont play in the wet.

And of course Dead_eye will bring glad wrap, he always does for a bit of night action with his team back in the hotel! :eek:

[Vladimir]

NAME NAMES...
as long as it's not very muddy and the guys don't have to wear- Weltingtons.

[JJJ]

NAME NAMES...
as long as it's not very muddy and the guys don't have to wear- Weltingtons outside of Dead_Eyes hotel room.
:eek:

[Adamage]

k guys here's the scoop :armed:
scott air will be set up from 7am depending how long that takes were aiming for captians meeting at 8.30 first game at 9.

the feild is looking great, be carefull on the drive, if it's wet it will be slippery especially the small bridge you cross just before you get to the field. The car park entrance is just before the main entrance. Hopefully it will be sign posted and have a marshal to guide you. Drive up the hill towards the lovely new spectator area and park behind the netting (leave room for spectators of course) then cast an eye down across one of the best tourney fields in SA. :thumbsup:

WALK down the hill to the safety area for registration.
If you want to sit please bring your own chairs - DOH! :cry: i know but being a brand new field the benches haven't been made yet.
Tressles will be provided by SAPPA :thumbsup:
Air provided by SAPPA :thumbsup:
CO2 provided by SAPPA :thumbsup:
Lunch will be at your own cost. :( Micheal will be bringing his hot spud van and BBQ, drinks available from the field and car park. :beer:
EVERYONE will help with cleaning and deflating of the scott air, with running water at the field and hoses, this should be a breeze.
Presentations will be done AFTER the field is cleaned at Paintball Sports new admin/bbq/toilet/shower facillity just over the hill. (plumbing is being done on friday for this)

I'll keep you posted.

[Deadeye]

Sounds kickass.

[Barnesy]

Only 3 more sleeps... :dance:

[Deadeye]

can we have people sit in cars and beep their horns when someone wins a game like a footy matches:D

[Adamage]

sure why not. when summer comes back, i'll even get some of my lovely promotional girls to come down and put a smile on all your faces. :kiss:

If you know people that don't get onto bills (god forbid!)can you inform them on the chairs situation. would hate for people to turn up with nothing to sit on.

[Deadeye]

*runs to get novelty horn*
yes i will the other Vic teams about chairs:evil

[Barnesy]

Hey boys, guard your borders coz the Vics are coming :armed:

We will put a big sign over the car that Ethan is in :lol:

[Studio 54]

weather update........going to piss with rain tomorrow

love it

[Studio 54]

........look on the bright side, at least it makes cleaning the barricades easy :rolleyes:

[Deadeye]

Thanks to JJJ and SKip for shooting me:cry:
p.s shouldn't Ballistic be on 12 series points, having come first and reffed.

[TRENT]

Thanx for a great tourney. Looking foward to seeing you all at Rounds 3 and 4. Got to get some points to catch up to the top leaders. Hopefully the Top 4 teams in AM are all playing and not reffing. Good to see a new team there hopefully there are more at round 3 and 4. Oh and yes Ballistic should be on 12 as well equal with Enigma.

[bunkerboy]

Oh and yes Ballistic should be on 12 as well equal with Enigma

You only get full points for supplying 5 bodies on the day to ref. I'm not sure if they had that many...and I'm sure the powers that be wouldnt/couldnt stuff something like that up;)

Well done to the guys and gals who reffed...a bitch of a job to do...except for that evil Head Ref fellow...where did they find him?;):D

Thanks go to Steve and Peter Duff, and the crew at Paintball Sports..great venue, setup, and weather, which was touch and go early on but came good as the day went.

And to the other teams who played on the day, thankyou for the great day...except Fallout, which was our only blemish on what was otherwise a perfect tourney;) No seriously, you guys know how to play, and we are really looking forward to playing you all again...soon:D

And lastly, thanks to the other guys of Team Enigma, including Brenton, our coach, mentor, inspiration and pod bitch:p:D:D:D

Here here ! ! See what happens when you wear Smart Parts (r) jerseys ?

My thanks to all the SA teams that play and ref, and all the SAPPA organizers.
Without you guys we would be sitting around, drinking beer, painting Deadeye ( tied up to a tree ) here in Melbourne.

It is amazing how everyone's quality of game has risen since even round 4 of 2003. Many thanks to ALL who participated.

[bunkerboy]

Here here ! ! See what happens when you wear Smart Parts (r) jerseys ?
Let me guess...you come second?:eek:

That one is going to get me into trouble, but I just couldnt resist it:D:D:D

[TRENT]

Did we play you? I cant remember having a hard game except the one we played into the sun. Ah well.

[Hideous]

Let me guess...you come second?:eek:

That one is going to get me into trouble, but I just couldnt resist it:D:D:D

Hmmm Yes it's unfortunate I know that mask of yours.

For some reason the Smart Parts stickers wouldn't adhere to the Cyborg.
The red 03 Shocker from hell only dumped its Maxflo in Round 7.

Team Kaptain - Fallout

Hopefully we can play some Pro teams next time!

i would like to thank our sponsers

All the teams that attended especially the victorians
and other interstaters for coming over
Paintball sports for the venue
refferes and SAPPA.

Deadeye :lol: :D :rofl: :p :yes: :rolleyes: :) :evil biatch :whip: :bigparty:

[Adamage]

Ballistic receive full points for reffing, however they lost 1 point for only having 4 members reff on the day. Kudo's to those guys and the Damage boys, major kudo's to CDG. First time as head reff i think he did a stand out job. It's not easy.

[Deadeye]

CDG:thumbsup:

[Orian]

Awesome tourney guys very well organised and was well worth the trip down even if i did just get home.

Thanks to all the guys that cleaned up the field the days before i know nightshade and damage put in alot of time to fixing it up, much appreciated.

Thanks to the refs awesome job and i can only imagine how hard some of the calls on the day would of been.

Thanks to all the teams that played i had a blast even getting shot was fun.

Also big thanks to paintball sports for letting us use the venue and anyone else i may have forgotten that put in so much time and effort.


Lindsay

[Gupt]

I gotta say a huge thanks for the Best & Fairest ... a real honour, thanks to RPS for the paint :thumbsup: :bow:

There are some nice players to watch out there (in both Div 1 and 2 ) and i look forward to playing against them in Round 3. Cheers to all the teams that came out and played (and reffed too ;) ), I had a top day

... Fallout ( :respekt: ) had a top day.

Thanks!

[Barnesy]

Yes, huge :respekt: to all that made this Tourney all that it was

Had a great time playing all you S.A boys & girls... and meeting more of the bills celebrities :thumbsup:

Can't wait for Round 3, with the teams consistently getting better it will be another great Tourney to play in & own on DVD :D

I'm trying to post some pics below, sorry guys our photographer only took pics of Fallout but you get to see some of what was a pretty good field!

[Barnesy]

Here are some photos of Round 2

I give 100 points to Viv for his "Taunt of the Day"
:beer: :bow:

[Barnesy]

:lol: Yeah, very funny!!!

I believe that was during Fallout Vs Enigma in Round 7 (adj. Round 5)

admittedly I was just sent to the "dead-eye box" at the time, so it gave me something to smile about :rolleyes:

[Neil]

so what was the taunt?
If it was that good...please share!
Cya, Neil

[TRENT]

Front players get all the fame and glory :cry:

[Gupt]

Fame and Glory eh?! I like the sound of that ... :armed:

One of my 'taunts' may have been something like this (although the DVD should pick it up) ...

"C'mon mate, you know you cant win ... just stick you head out a little, its not gonna hurt much"

That was great game against Enigma .... and everyone was saying "Watch out for Enigma!". I watched alright, i watched real good as i mugged their last player!! :whip:

But :respekt: to them, they played well over the day.

[bunkerboy]

Why would anybody want to watch out for us five lovable and oh so humble guys?:D
And since when and how have we suddenly gotten this misplaced and unearned respect?:confused: Bet you it was that damned Deadeye creep spreading rumors again. I'm gonna have to hurt his Barbies now:p

[Deadeye]

Thanks to Severe Effects Sponsors Severe Paintball and Australian paintball Supplies the paint was shooting great all day. Thanks to Pro Paintball(Pete Spencer)for the donated prizes :respekt:

[Hideous]

And since when and how have we suddenly gotten this misplaced and unearned respect

We will respect you in the morning :whip: :no: ! know one will know ! :rolleyes:

Well I am sure the Spank :kiss: wiped off after the game... lol

[bunkerboy]

We have a great and long lasting rivalry in the making here...cool bananas.....sissy boys:D

Special thanks to Adamage, a/President of SAPPA.
I dont think people realise how hard he worked to get this tournament going and how many unforseen barriers he had to overcome.
What a level of competition. Look how close all the top 4 teams were.
Hats off to Kaoz for their very good win.
And Dead_Eye, do I need to say anything...........

[CDG]

Ballistic receive full points for reffing, however they lost 1 point for only having 4 members reff on the day. Kudo's to those guys and the Damage boys, major kudo's to CDG. First time as head reff i think he did a stand out job. It's not easy.

Thanks guys, your right Adam, it wasn't easy. I got chucked in the deep end and (hopefully) didn't make too many stuff up's. Definately have a deeper respect for head refs and all tourny refs for that matter.

Other than some heated moments I thought the day ran well... everyone seemed to enjoy themselves

Looking forward to being able to shoot back at R3... ;)

[bunkerboy]

Ah crap...I just realized that I forgot to shoot the Russman.....:(

But that was half the fun, oops sorry ref !!

Major apologies and sorry to the Ref at the bottom right of the field in the afternoon. :respekt:

They were using you as cover as you wandered between the back upright coke can and the moon. It was you or me, and i couldnt let them move up.

Maybe we should have the team captains for the next game as hanging Judges for onfield disputes and let the ref's do their job.

[JJJ]

Actually, the SAPPA should maybe look at tightening up on 2 areas that were a concern for me.

1. Was pressure from spectators (other players) on the sidelines that was heaped onto refs during the day.

2. Tougher penalties for players who abuse refs. We should have a zero tolerance on that.

This will happen because of the size of the field too

There was many reasons why they were abused - inexperience.
They were watching the game rather than the players which resulted in cheating. - inexperience

Also players were cheating shamelessly, we dont have to play like Dynasty to win.

The abuse I saw was inexcusable, I would be throwing red cards and game suspensions.

[TRENT]

Yeah basically came down to inexperience. Needed to be a bit more agressive and get in there and look or hits. Reffs(Enigma) at R1 where great and wernt afraid to get in there. Just needed to pay a little bit more attention with each ref focussing on one player. If they are hit get in there and rip that armband off, thats what its there for. Anyway good job as watching from the sidelines there where a lot of hard calls. Also would recommend all reffs read the nppl rules or at least appl rules.

Still no excuse though for verbal abuse - players can be unhappy but they themselves are unprofessional to carry on the way they did.

have spoken to Adam about this and I will be organising a SAPPA referees camp sometime between now and the next round, this will not just be for those intending to ref but for all players who wish to get a better understanding of the SAPPA tournament rules, I think you find that any mistakes made were more a lack of rules understanding than a lack of trying. I think Studio 54 mentioned to the committee earlier that there should be a form of tribunal that reviews all cases and video evidence post tourney and be able to warn players accordingly, some of the stuff going on on field recently has been pretty bloody blatant and the penalties are not matching some of the crimes. But its a hard ask, I mean how many players, even those who are fully aware that they are cheating will actually agree with a 1 for 1, let alone not cause 10 minutes of arguing which is difficult for refs to move on especially when there is a schedule they have to stick to. All things considderred I think Chris did a great job keeping cool amongst yelling players and freezing conditions with failing light. top stuff dude!

[JJJ]

What about player behaviour camp - those who do the yelling at refs and carry on are the ones in need of training.

[blacky]

yeah true, hopefully the camp will give the refs all the ammo they need to warn or penalise the players accordingly and confidently, I only gave out 2 1 for 1's at round 1 but gave about 30 warnings to players mostly for abusive behaviour

[bunkerboy]

Name the date of this reffing clinic and Enigma will be there...and JJJ, I'm 100% in agree'ance with your last 3 statements. Clamp down on it before it becomes out of control, train the people who have to enforce the rules, and educate the players about the consequences of their behaviour.

Quick editors note
Gerkins did not receive championship points as they are not registered with SAPPA

[schatts]

I think the problem is that sometimes as players we think we are the reff's. The only way to remind us is to give us penalties such as 1 on 1's and if we argue make it pts penalties. I agree if zero tolerence was the order of the day we would no longer tell the reff's how to run a game but rather take the call on the chin rightly or wrongly.

Training camps will help for reffing but at the end of the day there will be still calls that ppl don't understand or agree with. All I can say is "build a bridge" and get over it ! its not personal. There are many other sports with Qualified reff's, were ppl can say that the reffing robbed them the game -we are not alone in this.

[JJJ]

what happened to SAPPA camp, lol

[blacky]

dont know dude made the offer but no takers from the officials, looks like our refs are good enough :)

[JJJ]

And to think i was developing some counterfit Pro Ref certificates for those of us to lazy to go to camp!

The only reason I signed up was I was told it was like those American Summer Camp movies where all the girls end up naked.... :rolleyes:

[blacky]

nah I was intending to run it more like the South Park Death Camp of Tolerance!!

constant repetative drills done to the smooth calming melodies of Lionel Richies gretest hits :no:

[JJJ]

that works for me
