One of the reason why i stopped playing airsoft all together, here in Belgium we have a big organization (not calling names) who holds events, and they used to do FPS readings, but for whatever reason they switched to Joule readings, and ever since they changed it they have the policy of not doing a chrono on EVERYONE before the game starts. Their policy now is: ''If we catch you in the field with a hot shooting replica, you are banned for the day ''... Which is really dodgy to me because i never been checked myself in the field. Which disturbs my greatly.
Switching to joule reading is great, but not chronoing before games is so stupid. Like here in the Netherlands we have a clear joule rating that will always be tested with .30s for the 3 classes that all fields must follow. All fields I have been to apart from one chronoed the guns before hand and marked the gun to show its chronoed. There is one field who only tests in the field and that field I just avoid since there have been multiple instances that people were shooting way to hard.
@Thatguy44470 pretty sure he is indeed. although i understand that not everyone can get chrono'd if 75% of them show up last half hour and gotta get ready because it's in the middle of nowhere and traffic is uncontrolable
@@gamingoperator6111 To indulge on this, im an old time airsoft player. This field was run by another 'company' at the time, or at least by another boss. They used to chrono ALL players. If you were to late... then to bad, you could join later when you had a chrono after a debriefing as well. No chrono is asking for problems. Especially since i never got checked myself in the field by Crimi Events. (Yeah talking about them since the cat is out of the bag now)
@@dolovo_gaming3081 I nean switching a crono to joules from FPS isn't like meter to feet... it's like mas to weight or speed to aravel time trust to speed.

as a marshal and player i can tell you safety briefing will never change. and i dont want them to change. its a insurance/ liability issue more then anything but i can promise you now alot of people wont go out of their way to read up on rules in their own time. frankly i would not trust 70% of airsofters to do that. i have been going to the same site for over a year now, i listen to safety brief every time because something may have changed. and i work there so im usually involved in changes. what we have done it we have made a video. its 9 minutes long and goes over everything you may need. also i understand the whole sticking to schedule thing, the most annoying thing as a player is '5 minute reload' taking 10-15 minuets. but on the other side of that a majority of players will take ages to get ready and even when they are told, 5 minutes, they go safe zone take off gear sit down talk, basically everything but reload. you have paid to be here if you want to sit around i cant stop you. i also cant start the next game with less than half of the players..... so maybe instead of blaming sites for this maybe you should made a video titled 'The players Responsibility's' or how about 'signs of a BAD airsoft player' in the video highlight things like, 5 minute reloads, following rules, arguing (it a game!!!), not taking hits and just dont be a dick.
personally i like the safety briefing. i can ask what we can do in the game mode becouse some places dont have a bag bag rule. from me watching this dude he take airsoft to serious also he promote why to much novritch even though he said that his connection to novritch wont affect his channel. you can tell by how he reacted to the aap01.
You’re so right. I’m a ref at a field and players take for EVER to line up. Intro to call them out specifically, and then my manager will come in and get (for good reason to course ) annoyed or starts questions what’s taking so long and I tell him and he says “well just start with what you have “ but like, bro I can’t start with half the players , especially if it’s a slow down and just one player taking too long and not joining can sway balance . Also then I can’t do special game modes bcz they’re not lined up for me to explain the rules and I don’t want people to have to play tdm all day
agreed! the rules on the website and the enforced rules are also sometimes slightly different, my pet peeve is the rule: no country flags, then you look at promo stuff or people playing and half the people have a flag patches (they mean no Political flags). another example is the death rag and barrel sock rule at site i play, they has that rule on the website, but at the field they say: "you don't those, just call your hits with your hand up and take the mag out, thats good enough for us"
@@clpthegamer3129 I've never heard of that flag rule lol that's crazy. I love it when people wear flags, its always awesome to rep the places you love or your place or origin or family. It feels special, especially when you have such an amount of people playing with all different patches, just has an undertone of how much people of come together in the modern era the death rag and barrel sock rule I get because not everyone as a barrel sock or death rag and so what? they're going to turn away that free money on the person playing? nah just keep that hand up
My field in Bulgaria is an abandoned building from the USSR. And i remember one time we came really early before the game to clean the site from glass and carry some old tires from nearby building to fill the holes for the drainage of water and put some rocks and long branches to not hurt each other. We dont pay for that field but its our duty to clean it and we all get along there. Even some cops come to our briefing to chat and see how its going. Few times we got some illegal immigrants and one ex-soldier capture them with airsoft pretenting to be real weapon. We dont have shops on site or where to sit or some big organization but we help all new players and everyone is so happy. And we chromo of course.
I like fields with a spectator area, especially for spectating from the Safe Zone. I've been in many games where the last few guys are battling back and forth with the rest of the crowd cheering and talking shet.
A suggestion to add to watch for is the overall condition of the field. This to me matters because this can reflect the quality of the gameplay and show if this place is truly doing good or poorly. I was a former ref at Hell Survivors and while we enforced the safety and rules very well there was a big issue. The owners, the owners did not invest in the workers for one post Covid 10.25 an hour was our pay. Additionally maintenance on the safe zone nets were 7 years overdue replacement and many structures were rotting. To add more to this the only changed was adding a bunch of shit everywhere and calling it an “upgrade” Last year all the refs and managers quit except for two but the owners due to bad financial decisions sold the field to another business
Overall a very good list, however I think it should be considered as a guideline rather than a check list, some of the best fields I've played have very basic layout and facilites, but very good organization. On the opposite side, many times I've encountered airsoft sites with amazing facilities, local shops, good rental replicas, but the matches were horrible because the staff never enforced the rules or ever punish anyone who broke them, the owners were too greedy to ban anyone, therefore the matches were a shitshow.
Here in berlin we have one field relativly close, no chrono but a range, beautiful wood and hill terrain with some trenches and the best kinds of players. Not many people play airsoft in berlin so many people there are soliders. It's hard but really fun to play (exept if you're the type of person that doesn't like crawling or is impatient).
I went to a field where, while I was coming into the safe zone, someone was asking the organizer something about the game modes for the day or something like that. The organizer responded something like, "You're about to experience something you'd never get anywhere else" The game modes were as follows: Find the boxes with random amounts of points for your team 5 control points The organizer I mentioned was also rude to his own staff for trying to accommodate the players, such as players wanting to stay on teams with their friends (when someone else was already volunteering to swap teams for team balance, so the friends can stay together), shouting at a player for accidental shot in the arena before the game (not in the safe zone) I'm probably not going to that place for a long time, if ever.
I have gone to amazing sites before and the lack of timekeeping and poor marshall training was awful at some and as a marshall myself I ended up helping
The field I play at most of the time is unfortunately starting to miss on some of these signs, the chrono takes to long because they are using old chonos that break to often, the rental guns barely work and the game/safety briefs take to long
Totally agree! I have played big sites with alot of players, and almost in every scenario and game modes the battles on the field ended up in the same places on a very small space although the field was huge.. 100 players fighting for one object or so is just a big chaos.. while smaller fields with lower player counts, almost always ends up in good intimate battles and great flanks. In my experience
lol I thought this was gonna be about map layout and gameplay flow 💀😂 but also glad I found it. A huge red flag I’ve found with some places is how involved the Refs are, I’ve had a bad experience recently where all the refs were being rude and not at all paying attention to the game.
Im in toronto and the only field we have now is small sadly. This is because property prices here are crazy. We had another huge feild and they went bankrupt sadly.
Lol, Silo Entertainment is on the good side now? Ik know that when he was a beginning TH-cam performer, he got kicked from almost every field in the Netherlands because rules didn't apply to him. That said, I always liked the guy, and I think he was right about most of his complaints about rules.
If you are chronoing by joules, whos to say the player wont use heavier bbs while playing, or lie about what mass they chrono with? I do like the idea but I see too much room for deceit by dishonest players.
Have a scale, randonly spot check BB and Joules, have them crono with both field BB and their own BB to see if it is close, if the Joules and FPS don't line up with the claimed BB that is a red flag, etc.
It’s easy to run around J ratings if you’re a decent human that runs .43’s and .45’s by simply knowing the J table. Turning your gun down via Npas is the easiest way to make the J rating even for random Chrono checks. 280 to 300fps is my setting for a .43/.45 running GBBR, always matches up with their J ratings because it’s still within the 1.5J my old field used to go by
you chrono with standardized .4 house bbs. it also helps for the guy chronoing to be able to verify and set the hopup himself rather than the player. its an easy exploit that noone checks for and can seriously skew the test. between these two you will rule out the majority of cheats. also enforce regulator locks and have refs spend as much time spot checking as they do observing.
Wait can;t BB creep still happen when your crometer is set in joules? Like do you measure everyones BB suppluy while crooning them and do the math or something? Like joules i this contaxt aka impact energy is very hard to calulateeven in airsoft espacly if you can't do or are slow at calculus as even with the correct balsitic caular it's still alot of data tpo put in... So yeah unless you have an impact pad for the crono to use in it's read out the joules is very wrong and extremely misleading as it's not even just a simple converstion of FPS as that is not impact energy works... So yeah my suggestion is put the crono in FPS as joules is a lie that will get someone hurt... And etheir force a stric usibg only these approved BBs by these brands that are these patterns ior just supply them your self as this is airsoft all airsoft gun likely to be on your field are 6MM plastic BBs so compatblity is a given and only weight and quilty is the only difference.
