Surely, that is what we have! Just like religious texts, rulebooks are open to interpretation
Are Refs missing a trick, or am I missing a rule...

Awesome. We'll get rid of the refs and put people in place that have a generally similar interpretation of the book, but just different enough to go to war over. We'll have a paintball iconiclasm! Sh*t, I'll watch that!
if the idea of the game is to advance down the field to the opposing teams flag-base, how is a 1' head-start not an advantage? At what distance would people consider it an advantage? 2'? 5'?
If it's no big deal, why don't they let people start a little bit ahead in the 100m Olympic finals?
That's right. I went there.
I'll even go there again - But what about the Olympics? How could we be taken seriously as a sport?

It is not that they are 1" ahead, but 1" back...
From my point of view, rules must be enforced. If people keep doing it is because it is not enforced. Even if there is no harm done or there is no advantage on it, it is a rule. If it is not a big deal then drop it from the rules....
Agreed. if refs still insist on eliminating me for turning my gun off while another player who has hung the flag is being checked, they can sure as hell enforce this!
out of bounds = out of play, simple as that... same for any sport, if a football, rugby ball, tennis ball is out of bounds....
saw it at the one final at st tropez last year i watched, ran the whole length to the corner behind the line then came into his bunker - just said 'surely he's out...'

The valid reason is that if the flag hanger is called out and you need to "hang the flag" you'd have to turn your gun on again! This could (especially back in the days of 'cheat' software) alter the mode/rate of fire or even velocity! Plus, by turning your gun off you are definitely taking yourself out of play, just as you are socking up or leaving the field before the point is approved.
If the rumor concerns Brice, the one I heard is that he was likely to join his brother on a French team, unless, of course there is more big (little) news to come!
