Ok in the semi's of a 3-man tourney we had the lead, undefeated all day. In one of the final(round robin) all we had to do was get a max to lock up a victory.
I am pretty fast and fearless so our plan was for me to hit the 50 on the break. Off the break i sprint and make it there to notice my one back player casually walk off the field.(I have to run half the field and not get hit he has to run 10 feet:rolleyes: ) So 3v2 not that hard with me in that good of a position. Again i hear "I'm out" but i noticed he one for oned the guy so 2v1. I've been in the situations many times and most of the time pull them off. These two guys were so uncoordinated, one tried a tape run i got him then the other tried with no support of course got him.
Being all happy and full of adrenaline i look down at the timer to see 30 seconds or so. I was on a 50 base off to the side and the had the snake sideways in the middle of the field with the flag above it. I run and jump and grab the flag at the same time. All is good i go and hang the flag. Everyone is cheering b/c we were playing a very good team(well thought of as good). Then to find out they had a no bunker jumping rule b/c someone fell last time and spiked his tank and bing bang action.
Well i hung the flag as a "dead" player so we were not awarded the pull or hang points. Also at this tourney if you hang the flag dead then the other team gets those points, kinda crazy. So all we got was 30 points for the 3 eliminations and the other team got 90. 2 eliminations(10 each)flag pull(20), hang was 50!!!!So of course i was bummed the rest of the day and ended up getting hit off the start of the next game.
We ended up places second missing by only 10 points.
The real lesson is, is that in the captians meeting he was told no base jumping but didnt relay the message to us. So to all you captians out there take a notepad or something to remember these things. They can cost you tourney's. Also dont be afriad to ask these kind of questions they will only help you in the long run. Thanks for reading guys!!!
