Boy, this is going to hurt a bunch of people........
I would have ROF limits on walk on play. I've seen waaaaay too many new people to the sport serve as nothing but punching bags for some wise alek with a $1500 gun.
On walk on play you don't need to wail on someone with your 1,000 ball a second Super Duper Newb Blaster(TM).
Someone is sure to complain about that. It's just my opinion, worth exactly what you paid for it.

The pump games I attend are perfect. Great people, and very honerable game play.
The semi games I attend could use less cheaters, and less boards.
......but if I had to say just one...........I would ban circut boards from all guns at all fields and all games. Just my own private pipe dream.

Aaahhhh, pump play.
I would rather play that way than with jerks with super guns. Playing laid back style with a bunch of friends that since '86.

first of all ... i really could care either way i still have fun on my typical day of play...
but i could see the benefeits of a limited ROF for walk on games ... or the different groups ... a couple of the fields i visit seperates new players, intermediate, and advanced players ...
so something like
new players 8bps pure semi
intermediate 15 pure semi
advanced 15 anything goes as far as ramping and modes ...
or just make everyone play with gravity fed hoppers to limit eveyones ROF for fields that don't seperate the groups...Comment

Start later play later
Wait till an hour after the field opens and call them on # of bodies that are there.Originally posted by StygShoreBetter Turnout - I hate driving an hour to have nobody show up, or only like 4 little kids show

ROF.... if you have a field with good turnout, I think it would be neat to have one
of the fields as a mech only game. Back to the roots of the game, when it was skill,
not ROF.

I would have to say the cost. $50-$90 a case is insane. It is one of the biggest reason I play primarily pump where I can play a whole weekend on a single case instead of buying multiple cases for a single day.
I wouldn't mind capping ROF across the board to like 10 BPS in rec ball. Frankly the only people who really benefit from 20+ bps are the aforementioned paint vendors.
lastly I would scale back the attitudes. I mean if people played pickup baseball games and employed the attitudes of some of the players of our sport.....
I know you asked for only 1... but those are the big 3.Comment

I would request that once you are hit please acknowledge the hit and not wipe it off with your hands or the bunker you are currently using.Comment

I already got rid of the one biggest annoyance, cheating kids, by playing pump for the past 3 years.
However, if we're talking pipe dream time...I'd like a more cinematic experience...and not one based on WWII either. Sometimes I get sick of the whole trees and pallets field, and just playing total elimination. I know it would be expensive, but I'd love to play at a really complex field, maybe part indoor and part outdoor. I'd like to feel like I'm in the movie Aliens, or in the game Resident Evil 4. And I'd like to have some goals besides just shooting people. When I've put together renegade games, we've had some of the most fun coming up with wierd game varients.Comment

As far as ROF, we dont allow anything but semi auto - solves a lot of problems.

Capping ROF I am back and forth on. The funnest times I have been out is when I was with a group where every single person had the exact same rental gun. It was soo fun! I don't think I got hit all day and got around three people out a game; just because I am always running. Can't do this when people are spraying all over.
On the other had; I had some real fun with my Xmag way back when and going against all different skill and gun levels. While this did make it unfair for some first timers I think they will keep coming as long as you are nice to them and talk to them about what to try next game and don't light them up!
What made me stop is paint! I was dropping 80+ every weekend to play. I know someone can say just don't shoot so much, BUT that is what makes it fun!
If I could go for $40 tops and get plenty of paint to shoot how I want, within reason, I would buy a gun and get back into the sport.Comment
