What is your favorite Legal & Illegal cheating technique?

That makes absolutely no sense bokraham. In your last post you said to hold the trigger back, then release and pull again quickly. That would cause the shot to fire faster. Now, you're saying it fires slower?! Honestly, I'm not familiar with all of the valves and their differences, but I do know for one of the valves, that *IS* how you're supposed to crono the marker.

Weird-Guy,
I don't know. While the spirit of the rules say that you should check yourself, ROF today makes it quite hazardous to your team for you to do so, without being shot again while checking yourself.

To me, if you call for the ref to come over and examine you, and he doesn't, I would think the responsibility would fall towards the ref. According to the rules though, the way they are currently written, it seems that you should check yourself, regardless of how hazardous that may be.

To me, this doesn't seem real possible in a tourney atmosphere though, considering the size of the bunkers, the size of the field, and the amount of paint in the air.

There's definitely room for changes in the rules and/or gameplay.

i think this would really help out the sport a lot if there weren't the loopholes there are now. its just a game even if it is a tournament, but it's a lot more fun if you don't have to shoot 10 shots just to make sure 1 of them breaks and the refs see it and call the person out.

RT and retro and x valves are chrono'ed by holding the trigger back. A classic valve should be chronoed like any regular gun. Remind me and I'll explain later.

I agree with most everything you said SlartyBartFast.

The one thing I don't like is that you should not be penalized for playing honorably. If bounces don't count, and the only way for you to check yourself is it expose yourself, or stop firing, then you've been penalized for doing the right thing.

Its not just the rules, its the game structure that penalizes you. Its all about controlling lanes, and if someone has to stop shooting, for any reason, its a detriment to their team.

In a lot of ways, its a byproduct of the entire game. The high rate of fire, small fields, and small bunkers are not condusive to paintchecks, by ref or player. There is absolutely no way a teammate can come over and check you.

While running to your bunker, shoot it several times and rub where you shot it. Just in case.

One of the biggest deterrants for me... for getting into the tourny scene is the cheating. I figure it this way: Try hard, play fair, understand that a game could be won or lost because of cheating, and focus on having fun and playing as best as possible - winning is a bonus.

There's just so many ways to circumvent the rules w/o getting caught, that it should be expected... which kinda sucks.

Maybe a little off topic, but it was still a thought provoking conversation on competitive paintball.
