I wonder what the current batch of D1 teams think of the idea of competing against mostly SPL teams if the MS decided to go that way.Baca Locohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13014510414015288907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-9408793452962216332010-03-17T14:22:51.409-04:002010-03-17T14:22:51.409-04:00Chris

I read it to mean a swing point is given within the last 60 seconds of regulation and during an overtime period should a major or gross penalty be administered. That may not have been the intended meaning but as written that seems the plain interpretation.Baca Locohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13014510414015288907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-21720363555337433872010-03-17T10:43:16.979-04:002010-03-17T10:43:16.979-04:00Re: MS Locked divisions.

It occurs to me, and others, that with the addition of an new race to 2 division and decline in overall team numbers that it might make a lot of sense for the MS to abolish the locked Race to 4 Division 1 and combine it with the same format Semi-Pro SPL Division, bringing one division closer to the 32 teams SPL was originally locked at.<br />Though, if it makes any sense, they will never do it.Full Borehttp://www.fullboreimages.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-32361307450941623072010-03-17T06:11:26.305-04:002010-03-17T06:11:26.305-04:00Baca,

If game time expires and both teams have scores the same number of points, the teams will play an overtime point.<br />4.2.8.1. There is no time limit for an overtime point.43<br />4.2.8.2. If an overtime point ends with no point scored, an additional overtime point will be played.<br /><br /><br />5.1.1.6 is likely an oversight and I'll pass that on to Tim. Although as written, you'll never get to the final 60 seconds of an unlimited overtime point.raehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311405248370629057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-7053192778668531322010-03-16T22:52:03.119-04:002010-03-16T22:52:03.119-04:00Does 5-man and Pump really count?

Apparently its the same one that wow'ed the crowd at the last 2 World Cup events. I thought he was amazing...<br />In the absence of Matty Marshal, I understand that the announcer will make multiple references to the plight of the Professional Paintballer, and make sure everyone is aware of how hard those guys work, and how much heart & drive those guys have, etc.Missy Qnoreply@blogger.com
