After a few weeks playing in and hosting games at the Jetball Arena in Rizall some things have come to mind that I and a few others, I have spoken and played with feel would help improve the playability and enjoyment of jetball matches.

1.) Running

We feel that the ability to run or have some form of speed boost while playing a Jetball match would greatly enhance the game. Maybe some form of script attached to the Jetball Gun that increases movement speed as opposed to walking as we do now to get to the ball. This could be similiar to the jump boost the gun already gives.

2.) Enclose the Arena

The Arena walls are fairly high now but on occasion the ball is shot or bounces over the wall disrupting play by either having to retrieve it or get another ball, if the arena was fully enclosed it would eliminate this problem.

3.) spectator seating

The spectator seating area seems to be a bit to high for viewers to realy get a feel for what is going on on the court, maybe lowering it or including it on near the floor in an enclosed area could help.

4.) Ball control

For hosted events only the host should be able to start the game. Doing this will allow new players the chance to hear all the rules and instuctions of the match before somone accidently or intentionally starts the game and the time clock by releasing the ball

Just a few things we discussed lastnight after 2 very intense matches..btw Eins u r the man..good shootin last nite :)
Also commend Brad Beckah and Jelin u guys all put up a tuff game those were 2 of the best matches Ive played! And I want to send an invitation out to any who have not tried Jetball it is truly a blast comeon out and try it !
