AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
I play on the same team as screamer. (I'm the guy with the really freaking loud blue spyder) I was terriably happy with the reffing during the day. diligent wiping of spray, Actually making an effort to check called paintchecks. No BS about picking the end of the field you played on.
I was highly impressed.
I'm more impressed about a REF complaining about reffing. They're the only people I'll really respect for complaining about reffing ;-) There's somethign about the pot calling the kettle black, and it takes one to know one in there.

The name mixup is FORREST!! He is the one that does all of that. All Sudden Impact does is provide refs and venue. SI was told that we needed 4 fields, so we got the required refs for 4 fields. Saturday night a message was left that a 5th field was needed. So needless to say we were not prepared for that with both refs and the field.
As for the reffing. If you attended the ref meeting (which none of the players did), then you would know that some of Forrests statements are utter BS...
Add to this that refs get ZERO to do there job, and Forrest ENCOURAGES "fowls." SO you get refs that have zero incentive and players that are encouraged to wipe, play on, and make the refs job as hard as possible. THEN the players complain if you miss a call or dont kiss everyones butt. And they wonder why no one wants to ref?
Forrest better darn well do MORE next year for refs. Gee a freekin paint discount at other events. maybe even free ref jerseys. SOMETHING to deal with the complaining.
And the chrono on the lower field (hyper) had a fresh battery just so ya know.
I apologize if this comes off as ranting. Im just tired with CPSA fields getting the bad rep for things it cannot control.
Im just saying i chronoed 2X and both under then i go to the new field and IM HOT.. No harm tho since the tourneys over. And I know its not your Fault nor any of the other REFS except for the One OLD Guy down on the Hyper field, his calls were terrible. And if it wasnt for that mix up on Team Names and that ONE refs calls we would have made it to the finals.
Other Than that You guys did a great job... and no you didnt come off ranting..
Its cool... and which old guy? Neither are on my team (Orbital), Ive heard good things about my guys reffing, but am disappointed that others are bringing down my field.
I AM happy that the actual fields are getting good comments, except for the last minute throw together field.
btw, was yours the blue ir3 that was slightly warm on the chrono? I saw way too many nice guns.

The Flatline has been fine since I turned the reg seat around as you suggested. It is much more consistent than it was with the reg seat in the "correct" way. Thanks!
congrats on 1st place. it would be nice to see if last laugh and swarm made the finals also,but when was the last time swarm made them anyway. ps nice banner your showing, it shows your support of a field (fox).you do them proud
