AO, we need to represent at the big one, World Cup in sunny Florida! Those that played at IAO will tell you we had a blast, and we did the best out of all the internet group teams! :) So who's up for getting a squad together for WC? I was thinking probably 5-man but if we could do 10-man that would be sweet too.

Unfortunately, I used up all the vacation time I had this year. However, I will do what ever I can to help you guys during World Cup. AFTICA is a bunch of stand up ballers that are there to have fun, then win. What fun is winning if you aren't having fun? Right Bob?

You got it! We are quite skilled at having fun, but when we can successfully crawl out of the bar, we can bring some game on the field occasionally, eh Cap'n? :)

Yeah... I hate to quash this as well... but I cant show for more than 1 or 2 days at World cup.

cause well... im supposed to be visiting my family that week in FL (and conveinetly playing a 1 day scenario at Waynes world in ocala) World cup just happened to be that week and well my 30 days of leave a year can only strech so much before I miss other events such as IAO, Skyball, Shatnerball, TeXball, and a couple of small scenarios over the year.

I would if I could ... but I cant, cause well even though im 23 and a big boy, MY MOM WOULD STILL KILL ME!

But lets look forward to TeXball and IAO ... hell we might plan for World cup 2k4 if the other 2 turn out hella good for us as well.

But, but its a 'throw together' team! I just figured there had to be at least 5 AOers that were going to world cup anyway, so why not play a little paintball while you are at it? The way the schedule is lined up, playing the 5 man still leaves you free to spectate x-ball and 10 man, so even if you were going to watch, you can still play! :)

Now thats true, starting day 1 of a 9 day event makes for a loooong vacation, but if you are like me, that kind of excuse to stay at disney for 2 weeks isnt a bad thing.

Ah sheet its at disney... Under the basis that I may cause a bad press incident I cant stay that long at this...

I made a promice years ago that if I ever go to disney I have to beat up Mickey. You know, easterbunny style from mallrats.

If you need a fifth for five man, I'll be in town for the first half of the week.

Provided you're not, you know, looking for people with talent or something.

entry split 5 ways would be something like 120 per person, doubt paint would be more then 50 a case, maybe as low as 30 a case? obviously figure your own travel expenses and cheap places to stay and/or floor space can usually be found without too much trouble.

Never underestimate the power of asking politely--they've told me it won't be a problem. :)

ill probably be staying for the whole event, which is almost 2 weeks, but the 5 man is like the first 2 days, so thats what you should shoot for if you want to come play.
