To Tom Kaye..... unleash the HAMMER

[Ronin 23]

Would AGD support a TOTALLY MECHANICAL TOURNAMENT SERIES that would be televised to the entire paintball community.

Through PBX Event Production and in cooperation with PBX Battlezone and 68 Caliber Films, we can mount something that has never been done before. A GLOBALLY TELEVISED tournament series.

Hey everyone....CHIME IN WITH YOUR INPUT.

how are you gonna get global televising if they can only get major tourney ball on OLN?

[JuggaloDave]

sounds like it would be prity cool if it can be pulled off

[At_da_Fifty]

I would watch it, if I had any mech markers lying around I'd even play! Too bad I've outgrown mechs

You would never get enough interest. The general pb community believes electros are far superior, whether they are or not. AO members are the exception, as they believe that the mech mag is superior. To each thier own. I believe both have their pros and cons.
But even most cocker users want Eblade or Race frames. And most non AO people who buy a mag, want an electro mag.

I finally found an analogy to paintball menality here.

Imagine auto racing. The object is to go fast around a track. So in order to go faster, the theory goes, you need to build a larger engine. Forget about technique in some cases, just bolt a larger engine in there and let it rip. Raw, unbridled horsepower means you go faster, right? Faster means you win, right? Forget the techniques of cornering, drafting, and all that, we just want a bigger engine.

The paintball events have been doing just this. Except, using the analogy, the engines got bigger and our tracks got SMALLER. So you have a few thousand horsepower on a go-cart oval. And since that's what's offered as competition, that's what people do. Has anyone offered a LARGE 5 man arena lately? No. So we take what's offered, and we play.

So the mentality is what you make of it. NASCAR drivers don't like restrictor plate raing and whine about it in the media, but they'll do it. If you ran an all mechanical tournament, people would still do it. It's a tournament, and there's someone who will do it for the competition.

Build it and they will come. Hell, Skyball ran a pump tournament with no real fanfare or even press coverage, and 15 teams showed up. So offer it, and people will do it.

Remember that there really isn't much markup on marker sales. Fields really only make money on paint sales, hence FGPO at most fields. So, organizers offer the small fields and want you to shoot fast and much more paint than you even need. I mean why do you need 18 BPS when it only takes 1 ball to eliminate someone?!

i donno bout that mags would own everyone. hehehehhehe

[theraidenproject]

Ramrod's in. Most of us shoot RTs anyway, and I've been looking for an excuse to get a new RT. I guess I could just take the battery of my Emag, though.
PS - When is the video from Saturday going to be up?

See? It's unintelligent drivel like that, that would prevent something like this to happen. I hope you're kidding. No gun is better than the other. It's all psychological!

While you are correct in that most people believe that electros are superior to mech guns, I think that a lot of big name talent would try their hands at a mech only tournament if it would gaurantee the kind of exposure proposed by Ronin 23.
