By show of hands please signify your vote:

***************TriggerTyme Rate of Fire Policy : Scenario *********
In the interested of keeping TriggerTyme's scenario events FUN and SAFE for all ages and experience levels, we requests all players observe a 10bps maximum rate of fire. This a guideline we request. Any player caught ramping or shooting over 15bps will be deamed playing in an unsafe manner given the large number of young and novice players we have.

This is NOT speedball in the woods.

Team Captains: Please police your teammates so we dont have to. Overshooting ("Bonus Balling") is deemed a serious safety violation and will NOT be tolerated. Captains: please reinforce this message with your teammates. That said, TriggerTyme will hold the whole team responsible for its members on these two issues.

Triggertyme is committed to the positive growth of the sport, and we need your help.

I'd vote a resounding 'YES' for as low as 6bps.

It's insane being out there with two or more hosers spraying you down with 15+bps.

An interesting note. Because of the bright yellow paint at Stalingrad, I could actually SEE the barrage of paint heading my way on a few occasions. It's difficult to describe except that it appeared to be like a cone of balls flying my way with the pointy end of the cone being the gun firing. For all the balls of paint flying my way, it sure appeared if only like one out of five or ten balls were flying right at me. That basically tells me that these guys hosing paint would probably be better served (and better players) if they would concentrate more on aiming at the target and less on seeing how many balls per second they can get flying at the target.

Its easier than you thing.

If it looks reasonable, its ok.

If you would be afraid to stand your own 10 year old daughter in front of it, its too fast.

I doubt this will be an issue at triggertyme, but it needed to be said and written down. In the past 3 scenarios we have only given out 3 warnings Im aware of.
