    Nah, it would be the guy that watches tournements. I really just don't enjoy recball. I don't like playing it, I don't like watching it. Not my thing.

    If I can't go at it full bore like I am now, then I don't want to play at all.

        that gives "off the break" a whole new meaning.......

        i think this is an excellent idea. i would love to attend something like this.

              Ok, I'll pick this apart.

              Skill is one thing, but it comes in different forms. You can take a person who can kick butt with a pump gun, hand them a semi and they can't play worth a crap. Same goes the other way, hand some of the best current tournament players a pump gun and they might not bake it off the break. The style of play if too different to compare.

              As for if you don't like it, stay away. That is a problem. Someone like me who use to love the tournament scene and was apart of it has no place to go. I am not a scenario player, and I don't like the new attitudes that comes along with new tournaments (This is why I liked the OGD at IAO last year). So, where do I go, what do I play? Well, I'll tell you...I go every where, and never play. I found that drinking beer and shooting the shiite was more fun than putting up with most of the players on the field.

              I have played against "real" pump players, and win or lose dependng on the situation. I have tried playing against them with the oldest of pumps as well as dm4s. It has NOTHING to do with the gun, so leave the PUMP player out of it. If the pump player is better give him a dm4 and give a "typical tourney player" a dm4. Let them play and see what happens........it will still come down to player skill and not the GUN!!! The only thing I have noticed is that it takes more atheletic skill in tourneys now (gotta dodge those 30 bps and hit the snake right ), and less hiding and one shot one kills ( ).

              It is sad that some people have stubborn mindsets on the current tourney scene. It does not matter what they shoot, or how fast they shoot, or even what type of field they play on, people still find the time to complain and moan and groan about something. This goes for the "typical tourney player" as well as the "pump-recball-woodsball-scenario" crowd. If you do not like it then stay away from it, in fact you shold be happy that each side of paintball world is growing. Just play what you want and be happy, that is the bottomline. Try to have an open mind for both sides of the spectrum please.

              I hope you the best in setting this up bob, hopefully everything will pan out. Sorry for hijacking the thread for a moment.

                  I guess you miseed my point, play what you like and have fun doing it. Too much time is wasted complaining about certain ideas of each "group" of paintballers.

                  Muzik, as for what you can do to be happy I have no clue. If you do not like the tourney thing or the recball or scenario thing, then shooting the bull is what you seem to have fun with then cool. Just be happy, let the tourney ballers shoot the hell outta each other and the woodballers snipe each other . I am happy to practice once and week and play a little recball on the side.

                      As was alluded to in another post, if people don't like using a supplied gun the tourney could go another way in a limited paint/Limited Hopper style of game.

                      been working on this one for the growing number of people with both mags and Phantoms.

                            If you didn't read my posts, why are you responding to them?!?

                            Save us all the bother and put me on your ignore list.

                            But it's classic. Last time I got into a discussion and the other person went into "La, la, la, la, I'm not listening to you!" was in, what, the second grade?

                            Put up or shut up Squid. I know that anything that doesn't involve YOUR definition of tourney players is unworthy in you eyes, but 90% of paintball players couldn't care less.

                            Nobody in this thread is asking you to change your game, so leave those that want to play in a different way alone.

                            [or are you just too mentally incapacitated to debate the meaning of tournament or have an intelligent discussion about alternate formats?]

                                ok i love this idea if you put it up mark i promise i will atleast be there if not my whole team!! but i do ask that you put a massive restriction on guns brought by the players i was thinking more along the lines of only classic mags pre 98 autocockers or basically anything with a trigger pull that = more than a few pounds! i love picking up old tippman carbines slapping my own barrel and going at it! its great max 4 bps!! id prefer unlimited paint but how out of hand can it get max bps is going to be around 10 with out new cockers or rt mags!
