The hopeful beginnings of something great: The IASA

Yeah, Splat is notorious for that.



Disclaimer:  Splat is a very honorable player and always calls his hits!

Lol thanks Gambler. The hard part is hitting me.

First I would like to say splat has never called one time I have hit him. Granted I have never shot splat but that is besides the point.

What might really work is doing something like TAC 10 its a paintball event but its a full CQB event thats fast paced and uses like swat tactics or other real tactics not just run to a bunker and shoot more then the other guy. 

I suggest that because I know CQB is starting to really catch on and I could see teams setting up a 10 man or what ever size time to play a good CQB game.

One of the big benefits about airsoft (IMO) is that it is distinctly non-competitive. If you lose the game, big whoop. Your faction lost, not your team. Aircross and GRAVE may be arch rivals when we're on separate factions, but at the end of the day we don't gain or lose anything.

I could go on and on, but there's definitely a reason that airsoft all over the world is not structured at all like what you're suggesting.

^This.

Since there are no marking agents, airsoft depends on camraderie and honesty. As soon as you introduce prizes, trophies, and monetary gain it will inherently attract overly competitve 'speedballer' type dicks that ruin it for everyone else.

I'm not saying not to try this, but I will never play in any form of 'tournement' style airsoft for the reasons mentioned.

I don't do it because I do not like to be challenged.  I would rather be an internet commando then have to actually prove my skills.
