Tässä vastaukseni:
I am very amazed about this whole mess.
It is unbelievable how you accuse me personally and my tournament organizing to be only a huge conspiracy aimed against Sweden.
**"The fins are taking this more seriously then we ever figured."
Yes the teams took it seriously and put in their best play and they won, nothing to do with marshalling.
**"Juice "main organizer of the tournament" was also focused that
the fins would win and did what he could."
What did I do? I would really like to know this? Are you seriously thinking that I did something to make you lose? If that would be possible why on earth I haven’t done it from Finnkampen I ?
**“I know i have support from 90% of the swedish teams so a good idé is not to argue.”
If this is really true, I am very sad to hear that 14 Swedish teams are thinking that I am the person who made them lose their games. I would appreciate if all these 14 teams could send their own opinions to me or to this board, please.
**“1. Did finnish teams train on the field before the tournament?”
No they did not, on Friday Paintball Games Finland organized a 3-man tournament and 9 teams participated in it. The tournament was open for everyone including Swedish teams. It was no secret, and there were total of 11 guys who also played in Finnkampen, so they must have been very good since they won whole Sweden.
To remind you, every time before Finnkampen has been played in indoor arenas that Finnish players have used for months before the tournament.
**“2. Was there any marshals from participating teams on the field when their teams played?”
Yes there was and have always been in Finnkampen history. Why? Because they were the best there is, and I wanted to give all teams the best marshalling I could get. There were also 3-4 Swedish marshals on the field at all times.
**“3. why was the 1-4-1 rule almost only used on swedish teams.”
Define “almost only”, I cannot comment on this, maybe Simon can answer.
**“4. How did the seeding from the prelimenary games to the semifinal worked?(the 2 teams who had the most points faced eachother, they happened to be swedish)”
I had done the seeding before I got the division cut from Simon. It was ready all that time, maybe you should have asked for it…
**“5. Do you think its ok that marshalls hug eachother before the game isn't even over? is it acceptable to have biased marshals.”
Marshals hugged each other after everything was clear, the game was “over”. If we really try to remember the atmosphere on field after that game it’s understandable to make this mistake, which however doesn’t mean that marshals were biased.
And NO it is NOT acceptable to have biased marshals; there was NONE in Finnkampen.
**“6. What happened when camp tigers lost?, the version i got from the swedish marshals was that Greg wanted a paintcheck and was cleared, and was taken out 2 seconds later by the same marshal becouse he had a hit. he also recived a 1-4-1 and the finnish team won.”
I don’t know, ask from the marshals who were there.
**“7. Will you have finnish marshals next year aswell?(if the answer is yes then you can forget about the swedish teams.”
Most likely some yes, although there will be some changes as we evolve and grow.
**“If the answers are not satisfying i will take diciplinary actions against certain teams/persons. this will include Joy masters and possible Millenium series “
You have blamed me personally so lets keep it that way, and if you still want to take any actions against me, feel free to do so.
I have to say that I really didn’t see this coming. Not after you smiled and shook my hand and congratulated on job well done. Now I feel a knife on my back, hopefully the wound will heal before next time.
Yours truly,
Jani “Juice” Leskinen
The Finnish organizer
