      If I were Pete Utschig and "apprehended" Jermey, I think I would have gone just a little overboard on tackling him. I also think that a one year suspension is NOT enough and the team as a whole should be out of the wc and jermey out for at least 3-10 years. Would set a precedent that would show everyone that we are serious. By the way, does the PSP have a website or email address?

        Being a pro, and cheating so blatantly, he should be banned for life. And, if investigations find the team knew of it (and, I am sure that they had an idea), they should be disbanded, and the players banned for a year at the least.

          They probably think its funny, but they just don't know what they've done. This makes the world cup, one of the biggest tournaments around, look like a big joke. Its hard to take paintball seriously when this kind of **** happens at an event as big as this. Bannem all, and set an example to the players dammit.

            Avalanche's Ed Poorman Speaks Out
            It sounds like the whole team, or atleast some of the team had no idea this was going to happen. Ed could be lying about it, but I doubt it for some reason. Jeremy Salm also said himself that the rest of the team didn't know anything about it. Jeremy should be banned from the NPPL for life, IMO. However, if the rest of the team didn't know about it, I think being banned from one major tournament (the most important one too) is good enough. It would suck to see some players such as Rocky Cagnoni and Chris Lasoya never play in the NPPL again.

              If this is ture I agree. He should be banned from nppl/psp for live but as in the past the offending partys will get off with a slap on the hand. That's the problem with a self supported industry. They do not have the nads to take action against one of their own. Just watch and see.

                  If the NPPL/PSP is to have any crediblity, Avalanche has to go. Salm for life, the team forever. The rest of the players would have to find new teams.

                  Enough is enough. Someone has to be made an example of!

                    And the Aftershock comment by Ed was low, Dont TRY to bring another team down to the lowest level since Ceaser and Fusion's fiasco. Poor comments by Ed, and a very low blow to the game.

                    Makes my job as a ref difficult when kids see this and think cheating is OK sine the "pro's do it.

                      do what i do...
                      i saw a kid (who had been bragging about wiping beforehand) wipe one of my shots. i emptied and ENTIRE hopper on him.

                      i find cheating to be vile, disgusting..
                      If you have to cheat to win you SUCK!

                      If the team did not know beforehand, the should be allowed back into the next tournament, minus jeremy. if the team knew, ban'em all.
                      jeremy should be banned for life. i sure as hell wouldnt let him play with us if he showed around here.

                        IMHO opinion.

                        Ban Jeremy Salm for life. Ban the rest of them for a year.
                        Its not like they have been playing on Sunday anyway. I beleive Jeremy is the captain so I doubt he acted without the rest of the teams knowledge.

                        I just hope this doesn't set back tournament paintball like the Xtreme/Fusion game fixing from a few years ago. And for Ed to try to bring up Aftershock when its is his team that is caught is lame.

                        What a bunch of DONKEYS.

                            Paintball.com has a quote from ED saying in which he trys to justify his teams wrong doings by bringing up other teams.

                                Heres a question for you guys. If Avalanche goes, would you aloud the players to stay together? Starting a new team, searching for new sponsors, or would you mandate that each player must join a seperate team, maybe limit two player from Ava. to each new team? just some food for thought.
