I came to this field that was run by the church and I loved it. The field fee and the paint was cheap for a sup airball field. At the time there was bunkering allowed and there was no rule for bonus balling cheaters. Now unfortunately there is a 10 foot rule on bunkering people. I had to stay out one game because of my instinct to shoot the guy that I was trying to bunker as he was shooting me. Yesterday, this tournament team got in trouble (sort of) for bunkering people. One of the guys that was on my team kept moaning about how he hit the guy that bunkered him first before he was lit up. I told him that he shouldn't moan about it anyways because he could take being bunkered anyday. It's really fun playing a tournament team and I would like to play them everyday. Even though they play on past hits and cheat, (mainly because the refs are ultra slow and inexperienced; tourney players are used to the refs pulling them out) they are still excellent players to gain experience from.
Well one of the benchwarmers, who never plays paintball, but is as rabid as a diobolical, madman, football coach came on the field and started preaching to everyone how they (the tournament team) would be kicked out, if they continued to disobey the newbie rules. He went on to point out how all the other fields inforce these newbie rules and all the other fields are field paint only. Basicly he wanted the field to be the same as all the other crap fields that became newbie theme parks. The cool thing about this field was that it was spread by word of mouth. In other words, only paintball players were actually told where this field is at. It is very hard to get to.
THE REASON I CHOSE the field was because it wasn't like all THE OTHER FIELDS. I thought that this was a field that the bigboys could play on without people on the sidelines yelling down thier throats to keep thier aggression down. THAT was what ATTRACTED the tournament team to play on the field in the first place. I didn't care if they all wanted to be on the same team. I just wanted to keep playing them until the regulars consistently beat them. The regulars would all have tourney potential then. We would practically be a pool for people to pick from. But NOOOOOOoo. Bigshot wants to protect the little newbies and screams with his most powerful voice to conform to the rules that stop tourney players from being tourney players.
Instead of forcing the bigboys to conform to newbies, why not force all the newbies to conform to the bigboys. I have seen newbies get bunkered. Most of them just moan about how it stung and then play again. After they get hardened to the aggressive style of play, they don't worry about it anymore. The tourney players are the ones that are paying for the field, not the newbies. If you would of just seen the field yesterday, you would see what I mean. Everyone that wanted to play against the RNT team didn't care about being bunkered. We all were paintball proofed. We all had the latest gear. Except for the one newbie's Dad that took control of the entire field that day. One spectator. I guess a non-profit paintball field has no power. I think we might of come to our apex of skill level yesterday. We were so aggressive that the spectators thought it was too violent.
This Dad must be power hungry. Major supportive of his son. You have seen the type. I think he was the one that convinced the field owner to enforce a bunker rule. They always seem to deposit themselves as one of the leaders of the organization, even though they don't know anything about it. He was one of those guys that get adrenaline from just talking about something. The ones that freak you out, because you can see all the veins in thier necks.
How do you stop these people from taking control of another great field? Does anyone have a rec paintball field with no bunker rules? Is anyone in the same situation? How do I convince the owners to lift the rules?
