As a spectator I did not notice any blatent ramping, but I did notice quite a few times where players were playing on. Quite a few times I would see someone on the fifty X wrap around and shoot the other player on the other side. Before you knew that player who obvisouly was shot out first comes wrapping back and lights up the guy who had just shot him. It also happened in the snakes a couple times. You can't blame the refs for this because they can't see everything, but you can blame the players who were cheating by playing on. Don't give your team a bad reputation, if you win no one will care because they know you were bending the rules to do it.

and some people jsut have fast fingers also. i personally dont care about bps ramp, just dwell ramps. i didnt really see all that many guns ramping, andi think that the refs did an overall pretty good job, just a few of them i didnt like. i think that cory needs to do a better training or something next time.

Yeah that was me. You guys should have seen it. Ozma is one-ballin' it with a speed if I remember right, hopper layin on the field, and the whole time I'm thinking "don't do it, take your hopper with you". Well Ozma ran without his hopper and I had to yank him. Ozma was pretty cool about it, but there were some people in the crowd that were all over me. I had to explain the rule about five times in 2 minutes.

it really isn't that hard to spot ramping from the sidelines. I saw a guy with a trix come out the left side hold his gun horizontally and start rippin out a steady stream out the left hand. I'm not sayin it's impossible to shoot fast left handed, but it is pretty hard to rip that fast and that consistantly with your gun horizontal.

there was a kid on my team that had his visor split right down the center from it. he took between 5 and 10 in the grill. Of course that was coming from the Ardvark guys, I haven't heard anything good about them.

still with the ramping i think that you guys are making excuses for being beaten by better teams just bucause a guy can shoot a steady stream of paint with his left had you think this is ramping. my team shoots timmys and they have stock boards in them and the nppl robot passed them and they can shoot some paint. i see guys hanging out at stores that are pulling 15-18 pbs on a gun. enough of the crying about ramping because your fingers are slow!

exactely. and yes, some guns do bounce a little, but big whoop. just dont get shot and you will be fine.

Gregg,
I am sorry your guy was bunkered,
I am sorry he took 5 in the grill.
I am sorry you lost the game.
I am sorry his Lens cracked.

However that is NOT Ramping.
When you get bunkered with 5 shots in the Grill it hurts your body and your pride yes, but its not Automatically Ramping.

Nor is firing left handed Ramping. Two of my employees are faster left handed than right handed, depending on the marker.

You know what I will personally replace his Lens, just come get it here at the store

Okay I'm just wondering in what division these ramping guns were supposedly in. I was in division one rookie and really didn't seem to notice. Also if people are ramping they are wasting lots of paint which usually equals a great oppurtunity to bunker them. They are also usually laying down paint on one bunker on the field which spells great oppurtunity to move and shoot them out. Our teams guns were checked and they all passed. If you want to keep complaining about ramping go ahead, but it's not going to change the results. The more obvious solution to me is what can you do to get better as a team/ and let the rest of it fall into place. Ramping guns or not with the right skills and team work you should still be able to win. My two cents worth.
