Mags Banned from NJ Tournaments?

Shartley,

little ponds, little frogs.

Ever hear how much noise some of those little frogs can make when they're in heat?

Sounds like a 15 year old fool by his grammar. I've never played tourneys, but I will now with my mag that I just got. Just as soon as I find a team...

I am calling shenanigans on that one.

i live in south jersey, any of the places i go to allow mags because im usally the only one on the field with one but i go to the speedball fields and they allow me with mag's, but yea mags can be banned if the guy hosting the tourny doesnt want them but most the time i think there allowed

I've only played in one tournament in NJ, and I used an e-mag. For that matter, almost everyone had 'mags since it was during an AO day event, but regardless, it was a 'mag used in a tournament in NJ.

I haven't seen mags banned in NJ.

I have sometimes seen additional scrutiny, but that's not THAT unusual...

My Emag almost got it for bounce here in Wisconsin. They said it shoots too fast due to the bounce. I was in mechanical mode chronoing it in. I sweet talked them not to DQ it for the bounce and I assured them it would be in e-mode during the game. Which it was. They did however DQ it because they said it was shooting at 450fps. Pretty absurd, but what ever. So we subbed in a trix with a ramping board that shoots twice as fast with no problems.

lmao! i love how rts have gotten the knife edge but timmys, dm4s and all those others that bounce like mad get no attention cuz their bounce happens when the play gets fast on the trigger and our bounce is just a sweet spot!! freaking hipocrits!

had pretty much the same thing happen to my emag. they got scared when i chronoed in mech, then swithced to E. then the one ref takes it and checks for bounce, but vibrates his finger on the trigger(moving magnet past HES, hence pulling the trigger) so of course it "bounces". ended up taking 94 points from us in a game we had just won for it, yet it wasnt even the chrono ref nor the head ref that found it, and no other ref could find it. needless to say, i was furious, and then to top it all off, a few of the refs had the nerve to tell me that in order to decrease the bounce i should(and i quote) "file down the on/off pin".....wow, just wow. they claimed that they have owned emags too.....

I know How to set them up I am a bio enginer and also a tech.

Funny how a "bio engineer" can't even spell his own profession....

But it sounds like his complaint is being limited to one-pull-one-ball, not really the fact that it's a 'Mag.

I played in a 3 man league. The league director said Mags weren't allowed because of the Reactive trigger. I tried to tell them it wasn't reactive. He stood his ground and said I couldn't use it. I asked him to at least try to get mine to do what he said it did do. He messed with it in the chrono station for half an hour trying to get it to go reactive.
In the end I got to use my RT.
He just handed it back and apologized. He said he was given the wrong info by someone else.
At least he admitted it and allowed it. Some people won't even give Mags a chance.

I played at Pevs in Leesburg a couple times and ALL THE PLAYERS i asked said that rt/xvalve/retro valves could not be used in tourneys. Even the refs confirmed that. Then I asked the guys at the pro shops and they said it was ok as long as it didnt go reactive. But if i did not look furthur into the matter I would have just thought that all rt mags were not allowed and probably would have spread that incorrect information to other players. Perhaps that is what happened with this guy.
