jhonny Sunday, May 13th, 2007 The accuracy of this review is disputed. Please see discussion below. Period of Field Use: Just once Date There: May 13th, 2007 Paintball Experience: 3 months Other Fields in the Area: pbw splat intense Review: i was at Saturdays tourny watching my boys play and the refs were right on top of it all day then my son asked to come back and watch on sunday so we came back but the refs were not always making the right calls seen them wipe a couple players that had been hit and noticed alot of things that were caught on saturday not caught on sunday is there different rules for the different events since this is are first time playing we are not to sure on how the rules go also is there a difference in the paint i seen a bunch of paint issues on sunday that didnt happen on saturday other than some of the paint not breaking this is not to reflect negative on the Field but just curious why that saturdays tournament was not under the same rules as sundays with being able to wipe players off well nice feild layout paint was great for us on saturday but not for the unlucky on sunday and maybe i misunderstand the refs job about wiping players off

HercTPA Tuesday, May 15th, 2007 | 5:34 am PST Dispute: I'm glad to hear you and your son had a good time Sat at the rookie event. As far as "but the refs were not always making the right calls seen them wipe a couple players that had been hit and noticed alot of things that were caught on saturday not caught on sunday is there different rules for the different events since this is are first time playing we are not to sure on how the rules go" Yes there are different rules for rookie and for novice/amateur. I don’t think this is the appropriate place to discuss them but if you like you can email me tpapaintball@yahoo.com or call me 330-699-5057 and I can explain them to you. Saying “refs were not always making the right calls” is not a fair statement when you yourself do not know all the rules and are new to the sport. As far as wiping players off there are times when you have to wipe players off (ie other team playing on, bunker rub which can and many times is perceived as a hit from someone not on the field or trained in reffing, etc). My refs and I play national tournaments and know how to do their job as good as or better than the refs who do it for a living. I’m not saying that they don’t miss a call now and again they are still human and do have the luxury of instant replay. What ref in ANY sport doesn’t mis a call now and again? Paintball is the fastest, most crazy sport out there and one of the hardest to ref by FAR. BIG PROPS to the reffing staff for getting shot all weekend and making calls the best to their ability!!! Keep up the good work. As far the paint goes on Sunday, it got VERY cold Sat night and the cold plays havoc on already brittle tourney paintballs. Playing national tournament paintball for year I know MANY tricks to deal with brittle or cold conditions so if anyone ever has ANY questions about that caring for paint please call or email me and I will share what I know with you. Thanks again for coming this weekend and we hope to see you again soon. -Mike
