Can I say & I think I speak for many, Thank you to John Sosta & John Bonich (all teams that helped in the trials) for taking the time & initiative to design & make a new format of paintball that incorporates time, speed, accuracy, judgement, teamwork, Value for money & competitiveness that we all enjoy!
I do not want to be branded as a hater so read my post please...
If I was a "Brand new" player with shiny kit & disillusion's of shooting out pro players because I can hold my own in the woods, when I turned up at a tourney & got slammed head first back into my place I would go back to them very safe woods where I rain pain on punters (who wouldn't?) & be a mean old puddy cat.
So how to go from "THERE" to "HERE"?
This may not be as popular as x-ball but TBH its not aimed at the same players, if you have the £x & incentive play x-ball.
If you do not have these play an event that costs less & gives you more team on team play time, I read that you get an average of 90 sec play time per game in x-ball, I disagree I have watched countless events & I think you get an average of at least 2minutes.... Good value if your winning...
Answer me this guys & girls, when was the last time you got hit on the break, lost the game & still smiled wryly while looking at the player who shot you on the break Knowing you did nothing wrong? But he they did everything right? Simple you don't.
Perhaps there is a time to look at what we do & look at why we travel 3+hrs to get shot at (its not because we are dumb that's for damn sure) we do it to shoot them before they shoot us & smile at them knowing it was us who got it right not them... In the formats that were available before 2010 we had to stew on that till next month & show them next time out...
We don't have to wait now, re-spawning sounds a little "punterish" when you first hear it, but when you see the way this style of play sweeps back & forth you will wonder why nobody did it before...
