Ive really gotta research more about the subject.

Snakes dont have to be continuous. A lot of times they can be broken up into sections. It just means you have to choose your timing more carefully when you bump up. Im just confused at that weird bunker setup at the 50 on dorito side. If you can get around the outside of that it could be deadly... I miss playing 5man on a 7man field...

Played this layout this weekend ... it is pretty interesting and unique. It'll be a fun one for the tournament. That thing on the far side is tricky to get around because of the snake piece in the middle, if you are on the inside of it, you have to maneuver quite a bit to get outside of it, but there is kind of a shooting lane right in the middle of it.

Very conducive to movement from what it seemed. Most people stayed away from that snake T on the left side but they may have just been being cautious for the first day playing it. Lots of angles for landmarking/blind shooting (not to be confused with blind firing).

Problem with it is, it's a brick.

I dont know if you have ever seen him play, but splatttttt can play bricks like it is his job. He scared the **** out of my one tournament because i didnt expect anyone to be playing a certain bunker, but of course he was there.
That brick could also be a good snake insert instead of the can for those that dont want to go straight into the snake, because the can seems like it would be pretty vulnerable.

I didn't see a whole lot getting done from that bunker but it does give you plenty of movement options. I'm no expert though.

I'm not a back player. I usually take to the tape and try working my way up.
I do see that "brick" as you call it... As a good option for back players.
From there, it also looks as though, moving back and forth towards the two opposing stand ups on either side of it in order to get a better look down field.
JK, thanks for the vote of confidence doode. It's been almost a month since I played Pball now, and insecurity is setting in.

Those t2's are sweet!

that brick is pretty nice, but you gotta remember that for every shooting lane you have on them, they have it right back at you. I feel like you could get pinched out of it mighty quick if they focus on you.

I'm a big fan of the 30 medium dorito...looks like it has potential to be a super important bunker on this field.
