This thread is gonna be about my personal opinion about Skyball.
Things I liked:
-Awesome fields made for good games and good excitement. Fields were wide open and it was hard for front players like me to make long runs. Sup' Air is always fun and our field is the only field with a snake so that added to the challenge.
-The timing of the games was awesome b/c you could see the time left. During the 10 second countdown we could count it down and be ready for the start.
-Trade show was cool but prices on some stuff was crazy. I bought some DYE core knee pads(50), and I only bought some small stuff after that b/c of the bad prices.
Things I didnt like:
-REFFING!!! All around the reffing was OK. The bias canadian reffing killed us in one game. I ran to the dorito on the right tape on the 50 and bunkered a guy. I saw like 3 hits on him, he didnt know it was coming. He came back over the base with hits on him and bunkered me. Normally that would be a 1 for 1 penalty(playing on with a hit), instead the ref pulled both of us. This was a horrible call seeing how i was in good position for the rest of there team. Later we found out that ref practices with that team. There were a few other small cases. I didnt like the reffing.
-Sportsmanship was the worst i have ever seen in my life. Throwing guns, starting fights and most of all cheating. From Rookie and even up to the Pro's there was horrible cheating.
This is just a breif overview of the tourney, My team ended up around 18th i think. Not bad for out of 120. Jax Warrior took second but deserved 1st, Ground Zero 2 was a bunch of wining baby's. Thanks for reading!!
