Team AO June 4th Millington IL

[abunkerer]

You guys did good, you were just outgunned. Your breaks looked nice, you made your bunkers and had your guns up...just werent able to compete with the paint volume, I give you guys credit, it was brave to go out there with mech mags against a bunch of seasoned teams shooting bouncy electros....who are all practicing for the chicago open, and who all know how the other teams play (it is a series).
- Anyways, you guys were at a distinct disadvantage, but you showed incredible sportsmanship and seemed to take it in stride...even though the reffing was bad this round.

hope to see you again on the field!

The refs were not having a good day... they were kinda getting abused by the players

I make a bunker move down the right tape, shoot a guy and get shot up a lot. Now it was close but I still think I got him. I turn to the ref go "did I get him or was I late." He tells me I was late so I turn to walk off. The player I moved against had just ducked and waited for the ref, who moves back towards position, I tell him to tell the player I hit that he is still in since he said I was late. No big deal - it was an aggressive move and frankly, the rules I play under, there cannot be overshooting on an aggressively moving player, only by.

The ref from the other side of the field thinks I was whining about it, comes up after the game and tells me overshooting is part of the game. I hadn't even complained so just shrugged. Funny thing is, next game we are in - the ref that says overshooting happens, pulls two players for just lighting Ben up.

Best shot of the day - when I was bunkered someone managed to put a series of balls into my open hopper as I was reloading... not a pretty picture.

yeah, he did get a little over excited, but I agree, it was kind of funny.
He was right though, and that is why he got so upset. He and another player did a simultaneous run thru and shot out the back center and back right. The back center walked off, but the back right spun and shot both players after being hit, and the ref pulled both of my players but left him in. That same scenario happened again when we played against another team, same ref same bunker. so those 2 bad calls costed us ~200 points.
I got it on video, and even hobbs from 665 (the ultimate ref) posted on pbnation that it was a bad call.

I still had a good time, what tournament lets you play 10 games for a 200$ entry fee?!

I played 14 in jackson for $250 and got it back lol
plus the most I got shot during a game was twice...

Id like to see the video of the games if you post them on here thanks!

btw: rob, Mike thought that was a worse shot then you lol he had to clean it out
