These are the posts that were deleted due to the fact that roland or jedi (whos not even on the island to see what kinda crap happend) cant handle the truth.
Deleted post #1Every team that I talked to had same concern issues. I just thought it is sad to see that a post about a tourney that he ran was instantly deleted just because it concerned a moo point about his field and tourney.
The paint issue was horrible. The formula 13 was bouncing off the boards on the spectator’s side of the field. The paint was also so hard that it left welts all over that broke skin. DXS Silver was a joke. Those may have broke, but the fill was transparent. That paint was horrible.
Reffing issues:
Do they have any experience with tourney scene? They did not know the rules at all. Modified NPPL rules are one thing, but to change them all to cover their ass, that is horrible. ALL teams there had blown calls due to the refs not knowing the rules. I am NPPL certified, I’ve played at the top level of the national tourney scene, and I don’t like being yelled at for pulling my own band to give to the ref. Yes, I was yelled at for pulling my own band. Ridiculous... Those refs shouldn’t even be running games for weekend play. That’s how bad they didn’t know the rules of the game.
I’m sad to say, this has only put a damper on the Hawaii tourney scene. All my friends from that field and maybe even from outer islands are probably sad to say that this will be the last time until he decides to clean up his act.
This has put another black eye out. Hawaii paintball has turned to shit. No wonder people fight all the time.
Deleted post #2 (in response to the ref staff "Doing thier best and cant be expeced to be NPPL caliber")I would never expect a NPPL / PSP style event in any local tourney, here or in the mainland. They don’t even have the caliber of NPPL or PSP.
The difference is that they have refs that actually know the rules of play.
Your refs did not know even half the rules. There is a big difference from trigger bounce to slamming on the tank to see if it shoots even one shot. I played with my gun at HB with the settings that I brought to this tourney and they would not let me on the field. Why, because they don’t know what they are doing.
When a tourney states that it is using NPPL modified rules, that is fine, but to modify every rule to help the ref get out of a situation that they don’t know about is not right.
Example: Player A has his gun on the side of the board before the game starts. Game on is called, and Player A gets pulled for not having his barrel in front of the board. This was not stated at the captains meeting. All that was stated was to have your barrel below the line touching. The girl at the starting box said that barrels had to be touching, but did not say that the side is not a valid place.
This is a simple example of not being prepared. All the refs can argue is that this is MODIFIED RULES. NOT A GOOD ARGUMENT.
The point that I am trying to get at is that the refing crew was not ready for a tourney or even sad to say, regular weekend play for that matter.
Take that up to Roland. I would like to hear a response from him on the forum. Let him know that this is what all the players were pissed about.
Then I got banned from the site and cant log in
I just added this cause hes a (NO PERSONAL ATTACKS BE AN ADULT) that cant handle the truth about his tourney. I was calm and truthful when I stated my concerns, but yet was banned from loggin to post. So.. on with the fun.
