    Worst Day Balling ever for me!

    Today flat out sucked. I never thought I could not have fun playing PB at a field. I was wrong.

    I met up with RickEZ10, Bign'slo, Seek, and others to play USANA/Pyro Paintball today. Never again. On Target Paintball only from now on.

    First, after our first fills, we were only getting 2400 psi fills for the afternoon.

    Second, they had one good ref, and the rest were kids that sucked. There was bonus balling galour. People were breaking the rules at will. Try to call yourself out and get shot a million times trying to leave.

    The safety there was a joke. Minimal netting and people taking their masks off all over.

    The field is not in great shape. As a matter of fact, Bign'Slo twisted his ankle trying to get to Ft. Meyer.

    To make matters worse, all of my gear went to crap. My X-Mag started leaking from the drop. Then my Eggo craps out. Finally I end up using the R/T and Revy. The R/T starts leaking from I don't know where.

    The final straw was the last game I played on the truck field. We were playing 15 on 15. The other team collapsed our left flank and began decimating us. When I went over to support them I found out why. 7 of their players were WAY out of bounds shooting in on us. They pulled a mass Jeremy Salm to light us up. I screamed at the ref and what does he do? He takes their players and reinserts them in the middle of the field leaving the 5 or 6 they shot out of the game. So he not only doesn't take them out for cheating, he rewards them with the eliminations and re-insertion! After this, I just said screw it packed up and left!

    These refs had absolutely no control or idea what was going on.

    If this is how they run the place, there is no way in hell I am going to their big scenario game: Judgement Day.

    ON TARGET Paintball rules! USANA Blows!!!!!!

    i feel ya. i live in a smaller town so unless i feel like driving two hours to play im stuck at the field here in town. refs? ha! they bithced and complained about too many people showing up because they couldnt play. they only like us to play speedball because it means less effort on thier part. they start crying if a good game of recball lasts longer than ten minutes because they get bored not playing. and if we spend the whole ten minutes, then the refs take a 30 minute break between games for thier personal time. its like pulling teeth to get them to have consecutive games.
    ok, sorry bout that, just got back from playing and had to vent.....

      1stdeadeye said it all, very unorganized and unprofessional. Everytime you turned around someone had thier mask up or barrel plug out, plus they didn't chrono at all, it all made for a bad outing.
      In their defense they have only been in operation for 3 or 4 weeks and from what I gathered this was the largest group they've had to date. The head ref was very apologetic about the rule infractions and handed out free passes to those effected.
      So, as I sit here with my foot in the beer cooler and my hand in the cheesey-poof tub I pray to the gods of paintball and pain killers that USANA will get thier act strait before Judgement Day.

        No problem! That is what I am doing.

        Oh yeah, no chrono station there either so we don't know who was shooting hot. Also for their mini-scenario they had the worst medic thing ever. Our side had 2 minutes to heal. Their ref gave them 10 minutes. I let up a guy crossing a trail I sat there waiting for anothr victim. 10 minutes later, the medic comes along and the ref allows the healing. I lit both of them up then!

          Did he give the free passes to you?

          He told me he gave one of our guys 13 passes.

          So you want to give them one more shot? We will see.

          How are you feeling? I am really sorry about your ankle! Hope you feel better soon!

            Wow I had no idea it would be like that. I am calling the owner of USANA and telling him your problems. He is a personal family friend and is a VERY stand up guy. He would NOT allow this to happen. Was Skip there at all? Fat guy with a white beard?

                  No, there was no one who looked like that.

                  Don' get me wrong, the guy running it was nice enough as was the older ref with long hair. They were both pretty stand-up guys. The problems came in the organization of the day. The lack of safety enforcement and no chronoing kind of freaked me out. The younger refs were the bad ones. The kids were nice, but didn't seem to know how to ref.

                  The air was screwed because they were using a cascade of 2 tanks and he let them equalize so you couldn't get a decent fill after that.

                  Maybe they will get better like Bign'Slo said, but if just 30 players was too much for them to handle, how are they going to handle Judgement Day?

                    Well.. I rivaled it, but had a ton of fun

                    Three man small tournament

                    First game, no problems, Im shooting my warped e-mag and take the flag early, get shot out shortly thereafter but we decimate the other team.

                    Second game - teammates F5 cocker goes down... I run out grab my backup mag for him... I get hit early off the break - well on a stupid repeat move from the game before that the other team was camping waiting for. My bad.

                    Third game - Cocker time again - the SOB is shooting hot, the gates are closing in like ten seconds, I have enough time to toss it off the field - now I hand my backplayer my e-mag on the ten second warning and try without a gun.. make a mad dash for the flag - ended early when I dive and notice a hit as I dive.. wiped in the dive I call myself out (aren't you proud of me?).

                    Fourth game - last game. I manage to hit the bunker so hard it tips over, I pull it back up quickly and manage to not get shot, meanwhile both backplayers are elminated and Im in the point of a V... can't watch both sides and get bunkered (nicely, one shot to the pack)

                    Somewhere here one of my teammates is getting upset... kinda whining about refs and anything else he can think of.. I tell him to either remove his jersey (with our and sponsors name on it) or shut up. He chooses option two and no hard feelings done.

                    Overall - a lot of fun but frustrating too. Noone on my team can properly tech a cocker (why own a gun you dont understand??) and I can't convince them to shoot mags... but it was paintball and thats what counts. I had fun, could have been better, could have been worse, ended up fifth out of ten.

                            I seem to remember Top Gun being more or less super organinzed. Well groomed fields, Safe areas (net-tents) all
