Atwill may have been right.

on attitudes.

In my experience Las Vegas rec ball has to be the worst place. it was like daycare.
S.C. Village advanced walk on has the worst "playing on".
Tucson has to many turny wannabes mixed in with rec players
Phoenix rec allows ramping with beginner walk ons
the Local place where im at now makes rules up as they go and I would rather drive 250 miles then to support them.


There was a time when the paint was "California magnum", the guns were "bushmasters", and the players had "skill". In those days equipment defiantly gave you an advantage.
maybe we sucked, but when the first guy hit my field with a SMG 60, when everyone else had pumps... he had an advantage.

I dont necessarily think I'd like the paintball of Atwill's day, But defiantly had more fun in the game of the early 90's.

where is the rule forbidding AGG-ness?!? man-o-man, there shoulda been a rule about 10 year old kids who think they're AGG

WRONG!

am i really wrong?we do limit, not as much as others like you mentioned, but there are limitations that have adapted to meet modern standards such as; the 15bps cap, the ban on cheater modes, not allowing multiple layers(maybe?) they are not unlike other limitations like hockey sticks and baseball bats, because the whole idea is different, this is a NEW sport, others have been around for at least 100 years, paintball has been around for about what? 25? we have kept the basic concept; shooting other people to mark them, yes there were the CTF formats, but how might it have originated? 2 bored people shooting at each other for fun. make what you will of this, but i'm not really sure how i can better convey my point here....

cow hunter,
i see your point completely, and i don't necessarily disagree with you. but you have to admit, shooting 15+bps with ramping n stuff isn't quite the same as better pads in football. besides, not all tourneys have 15bps or ramping rules.

if they put a robotic arm on a quarterback that allowed him to throw 100yards with high speed and precision, then it'd be a little more comparable.

and im sick of people who think its okay to release their ill mannered spawn into the general population.
