I couldn’t believe when I saw footage from skirmish last year that people had plugs. And when I called it out people didn’t seemed concerned at all. The people in the video weren’t even using old markers or anything that would make sense as to how they had plugs, these were modern electros so they had to seek out a plug instead of the bag that came with their markers.
I was out of the game for 14 years and just came back at the end of last year with my best friend. We were refs for a while when we were kids but 20 years later we still automatically immediately will call out barrel bags and masks. This past weekend standing waiting for air and a rental came up without the bag. Told him to put it on “well I need my barrel cleaned” replied “doesn’t matter man out it on”. Only second time I had been at that field and already had gone into that mode.
People never really appreciate how much damage a marker can do if you do something stupid with it. Then again coming up with co2 and then seeing run away electros bouncing plus the general stupidly of people that you had to control as a teenage ref was sure eye opening.
