The only downside is that much of that happened to everyone plus tens of thousands of other travelers losing a little something in the process.<br /><br />EC<br />Good call as I made a note of that situation as well. Altering the field is a long standing rule that dates back to the beginning of paintball, more or less. In this instance it wasn't clear to me at the time exactly what happened other than the on field refs called it an "altering" situation. The rules that address the issue are 6.2.10. which speaks directly to altering the field but I have always interpreted that to be a more substantive alteration than simply making a space with your gun barrel or something similar given that the penalty associated with altering is a minor suspension. The other rule of potential relevance is 6.4.2.5. which deals with player moving between touching/connected bunkers which results in a simple player elimination.<br />In this case it may be neither rule addressed directly what happened. I don't know. But I can tell you I'm writing a Ref's Guide to the Rules for this very reason. So that eventually all PSP refs will understand and enforce the rules the same way as consistently as possible.Baca Locohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13014510414015288907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-68079729848418124142014-03-20T09:33:18.546-04:002014-03-20T09:33:18.546-04:00Could you please speak to the penalty Vicious incu...Could you please speak to the penalty Vicious incurred in the finals for "splitting a bunker"? <br /><br />I observed (via the great webcast) many snake players shooting out their counterparts at the 50 snake seemingly through the lower gap between cakes. Some appeared to place their barrels closer to the gap to the point where I wondered if they were actually sticking them below or between the cakes. <br /><br />What do the rules say about shooting between/through side-by-side bunkers?
