yes... i will certainly fully support you guys as a team in every way i can and also play as a reserve or backup member... no problems with that at all.
there are several reasons i don't feel i can commit to being full time, i'll try and list a few of them so that everybody knows where i'm coming from on this:
1.) time. my every effort at this stage is developing the "area" airsoft sport.
2.) the continued Jackson Field design, construction and maintence. it takes a LOT of thought, concentration and physical time and effort. this alone leaves little time and brain power for thoughts of a team on a regular basis.
3.) i can't play on 99 percent of the Saturday games. just can't. as you guys know, due to my work commitment. another big knock against being a regular team member.
3.) field owner responsibility. as a field owner "and" a full time team member...many might (especially people that don't know me like "you" guys do) think that i might be showing favor or be partial to YOU guys because of being a team member. i don't want that. as you guys already know...i consider the RULES to be the RULES and would enforce them whether a person was my squad buddy or a fellow team member or not...but a lot of people "might" not see it that way and think i was partial to you guys ONLY. so not being a regular member should help with everybody's mindset/feelings on that sticky issue.
let me go on to say that EVERYONE is welcome to play here... team member or not...and other teams may also use the field. field rules will be upheld and enforced regardless of who you are or what team you play on... this is a Beo-Law and is non-negotiable. not to be an ass-hat...but somebody's got to keep it safe and fair and be responsible. as field owner...that would be me.
at some point i hope our sport here grows to where there will be multiple area teams formed and using this field...
and that's pretty much the major issues i have with presently being a full blown team member. and i feel they are good reasons. again, that is not to say that i will not support nor be a part of you. i will. but at the present time, i feel that ALL of our interests can be better served if i stay more of a "reserve" member.
Peace---out!
