Needless to say, we got roflstomped to heck despite the few guys on our team who actually played really well. I screamed at the scrubs to push forward till I lost my voice in vain... Ref saw this, but didn't scramble the teams despite repeated requests. Dunno why.
Siege did listen to the floor requests and the second floor is indeed more in play now thank goodness.
The thing I'd most like to see is maybe one evening a week where it's no beginners (marked by no rentals I suppose). Although they'd lose the newb revenue, I think more vets would show up on the day simply so they don't have to deal with the newbs that don't listen. (Hell, I tried showing one of those guys how to properly shoulder a rifle, and he went and charlie-fox'd the stance to hell and back... couldn't fix it despite several other guys trying to explain and correct it. No helping some people I guess...)

I'm definitely no pro, only been playing for a year now... But If I see someone who's not sure what to do or where to go, I'll usually try to help them; get them to follow me, try to take an objective together. Sometimes they give me a twisted look, but most of the time I can get them to cooperate. Blind leading the blind I guess...
