Team Mad Cow's first tourney, magging it up.

[lamby]

the 5th game

The game that you were talking about was the most fun of all of them (other than the losing part ) I was behind the stand-up on your left and Shirow was in the middle. The big problem that game is our mid front guy could not figure out the inteliframe mag and could not get the safty off. So he was useless that game (not his marker, not his fault. still funny though) his cover was blown and let your right guy get to the fish at which point took me out (nice shot too)

all in all, my first tourney was just awesome. I could never expected to do so well with a team of players that never played together, practiced, or even played tourney ball.

I think Shirow could prob shoot his i-framed RT just as fast as my E-Mag, if not damn close.

[Shirow]

I think that mag had a hyperframe on it, not an intelli.. that was part of the problem :)

It was a fun game though, shame we were one guy down (I forgot about that, but I remember us ribbing him about it afterwards )

And hell yeah I can shoot as fast! I told you man, electronic triggers are for girls

[lamby]

Maybe, but....

I did not see any complaints from you at the range either. The E-Mag ROCKS that is that. Now if I can get this warp problem fixed I will be a happy camper again.

A couple of RTs in the back will send enough balls to keep the opponents heads down

[Shirow]

Hehe, yeah I wasn't complaining too much Just giving you grief. Hopefully Rex will pick up that mag soon, so we don't have to put up with his hideous Spyder any longer I think once he has a decent marker he can sit in the back for a bit though - I wanna take the front for a change!

Re: BFG 5 man Tourney

I just want to thank you guys for coming out and for your infinite Patience. All of the teams (up until one had to be ejected) were pretty cool, even after an hour and a half late start.

Mad Cows, your games were fun to ref. It's nice to ref teams who play fair and honest yet still play hard enough to give us refs something to do on the field.

So here's the story about the team that noone likes. Keep in mind this is only how I understand it. In round 4 I believe one of the players left the field without a barrel sock on. He was seen by one of the field's staff (the refs at this tourney aren't employees of the field), and promptly had his wristband cut and told to leave. This was explained at the captain's meeting, wether or not the ejected person was informed is the responsibility of that team's captain. Well, the rest of his team got pissed and they threw a fit. Exclaiming that the field sucked and vowed never to come back. Now, from what I understand and
what I've heard noone likes these guys and everywhere they go they just cause trouble. Case in point, when BFG was still MPC they brought in field paint they bought else where that was still the same shell/fill as ours. The first time they came to the field they were passing out business cards to thier field, without asking anyone of the staff if it was cool.

There are a lot of other things they've done to make a negative name for themselves, but I've said too much bad already and I don't want to take away from anyone's good time or a good thread.


I hope to see the Mad Cows and everyone else who came up to the tourney. Like Tim said, it WILL be on time next time and everything WILL be smooth. Thanks again guys, good players makes being a good ref easier and well worth it.

Thanks Rusty, the tournament was a blast!! Glad we gave you guys something to do!

BFG is definitely going to be our winter field, and hopefully we'll keep going there even when it warms up - we'll be there this Wednesday bugging Jeff to setup another tournament.

[lamby]

Thanks

Thanks Rusty,

You, and all the refs, were top notch. I did not hear one complaint all day about the officials. I made a joke about the new guy (Mike I think it was) that jumped in my line and would not move. Another ref endind up grabbing him and moving him out of the way. no harm, no foul. Having good refs makes the game fun and you guys definately made it fun.

Cool, when can we start signing up, Tim?

[automan39]

i was there but my team did bad. got to get the rich brats off the team (one didn't know ho to adjust his velocity) but i had fun. the reffs did do great job.

[EsPo]

last time i played a tourny, we also got screwed on the ol' chronoing at the end of each game. it seems like there are never chronos available to chrono at be4 going to play.. it sucks.

[Mook564]

Well I will say one thing, for my first tournement I was really happy. As part of Team Mad Cow the Refs did a great job, and we all had fun as far as I know.I can't wait till the next one.But no spiders are allowed on Team Mad Cow.All Mags except for one Cocker( mine, cause I had a Mag as my back up gun). And no matter what you all say at, least the cocker wasn't shooting HOT like the Spider on the Team was.We all ready got one of the non Mag owners to want one, now it is just getting Mr. hot gun to crack and buy a real Marker.

[aaron_mag]

Just out of curiousity how do you guys divide up paint costs? When we played we each bought our own paint. In reality, however, this is not fair to the back player. I mean its not like the front player doesn't benefit from him laying down the ropes! Just curious.

Luckily in our case we got eliminated quickly enough that it didn't get too expensive for any one individual:)

[wimag]

bought multiple case and split the cost across the team. We know the back players will lay it all out; that is what they are for. Not an issue of being fair but more along the lines of what needs to be done to win effectively.

[Shirow]

Just bought a case each and pooled it together - at the end of the day, whatever was left we split out to take home.

Mook, Mr Spyder is buying an Emag (or an RT Pro)+ HPA this week :)
