AFTICA mows faces.......in the BAR.

We set out to place 9th. While we didn't throw any games, we didn't want to have to play the 2nd day -- we wanted to party! We ended up doing exactly what we set out to do, and be the BEST of the worst ;)

The real win came at the Sheraton on Friday night, when we successfully mowed 30+ pitchers of beer..

Hoo-ha!

So any antics with the Air America guys and one stuffed varmint?

Air America (at least the AA we're used to) is out of paintball. NPS is putting some stuff out under the AA name these days. Most (if not all) of the old AA staff is now part of Guerrilla Air (different ownership than old AA). I believe that Guerrilla Air was going to IAO...but I wasn't at IAO so I don't know for sure.

Ted (one of the main AA pranksters and hamster daddy) is no longer with Guerrilla Air (or AA for that matter). Where he'll end up...nobody knows. :ninja:

Eh, my mission was compleate also... shoot as few cases as possible, keep the drunks from making a scene that leads to jail time, and get em back in one peice. done and done.

Oh and the flight home was terrible, got upgraded to first class to sit next to the biggest [female dog] in the world and the one parent who must have breed with a car alarm to birth the loudest screaming child ever. They are lucky my less than harmless weapons were in my checked luggage.

Yeh, I copied this from the other thread



All of the players of Team AO did exceptionally well and the failure to take first place is fully mine. I made two game and score changing errors in the finals well the rest of the team did as much as I asked of them and much more.

In the preliminaries Robbie helped us to an awesome start by having ten eliminations in the first two games. His talent and leadership abilities throughout the day were a valuable asset to the team and greatly prized. Going into finals we knew we had to be more organized, and by then we were trying to make a game-plan that would push us foward.

On the day of finals we would be playing on a different field as announced to us the day before by Kevin. The Tippman field had leaky bunkers that required the refs to do extended maintenance about every three games, which created more work for them and slowed the day some. The field was also not level and one corner stand up could not even see the opposing tape line. Kevin, whose efforts for the owners groups division, cannot be overstated, was able to get us moved to the NPPL field which appears to me to be a better field.

The NPPL field had a snake in it that at first appeared much more powerful than the one on the Tippman field we had originally played on. Walking the field early with POG Brass I declared that snake a deathtrap, and it proved to be during the day thanks to the coverage of it by DJ (DJ89), Zack (Zackzel), and Drew (AGDlover). I told the team that if they covered that snake that Robbie and I would push the opposite side of the field and they need only defend.

The first game against Air Power (autocockers) proved the theory correct. Despite my early elimination (I failed to even make my first bunker) Robbie was able to bump up the doritos without me and, with the help of the left side, cleared the field and hung the flag - I can't say exactly what happened because I was staring at the back of the dead box.

The second game was against Matrix Owners.. I looked left when I should have been looking right and was bunkered. The player shot me twice and apologized for overshooting me?? We were shooting Blaze that was proving to be very bouncey and I thought two shots was extremely nice. That was just how the owners group was.

By the way, anyone ever tried to shoot Hellfire through a mag? I did in the first game of prelims, I ended up with a liquid line in my Reloader B and a mess in the breach. Drew has pictures, but it is a lesson I won't need to relearn anytime soon.

Our third game was against Shocker owners. In an odd twist the quarterfinals had become very tight, and it was apparent that Airpower was going to go to semis- after a dramatic victory over both the Matrix teams and the Shocker team. This meant that the second spot in the semis was going to either ourselves or Shocker owners (who held a victory over MOG). Having been trounced by the Shocker owners the day before I was apprehensive about this. We pulled together as a team, and moved on to the semis.

The semis were a best score after three games against Air power. The first game was won by Airpower, giving them 100 points and us 15. It was a two on two with DJ and I in which I missed a player moving up the left side, turned too far towards him and allowed the Air Power tape player to come up my tape. It left us needing every point we could muster, and a decision was made to send Zack immediatly up the middle on the second game for the flag pull. It seemed Air power had the same idea, and Zack and his counterpart reached for the flag at the same instant, the Air power player won the tug of wore, and the pull. Due to an error with tanks on my part my marker was down - the bolt stuck partially forward. I had failed to turn on the air tank and as it had shot down the excess air it had just stuck and was at the point that I could not get it to reset by turning on air. I made a flag run - both players having since been elimated in the midde, the rest of the team cleared the field and we were able to hang the flag.

It left us behind going into the third game against Air Power, and we again decided we needed the flag. Zack once again went up the middle, but this time we had a surprise for the Air Power player. Drew had been pulled off his snake protection duties and protected the flag - which proved effective though lost us our back corner player. With the help of a pause and lane from Robbie on the way to his bunker the flag was protected, and neither player secured it. Zack was called out when he took the flag and it was rehung It did give up the snake though... Robbie made a play for the flag at that time, and attempted a run up the middle. It turned us from a 4-3 position where we were stuck to a 3-2 position where we had the offensive. With the players distracted by Robbie I was able to move up and take two of the Air Power players - I bounced the third in the snake and was forced to duck down for cover, which happened to be their back stand up. With a player in each stand up and the Air Power player in the snake he had no choice but to try to fight both sides. DJ took him, and I made a desperate attempt to find the flag now hanging on a nearby bunker - yeh, I apparently do not look up. Finally found, and hung, we advanced to the finals.

The first game of finals... The team played well together, the snake protected in a series of moves that resulted in players trading with the players of the Rainmakers Owners Group. I allowed myself to be drawn into a snap shooting contest where I was in the fifty with the player in the center stand up. It was a poor decision on my part, and poor execution and I was eliminated in it. It caused a pause, and though Robbie once again cleared the field of opponents he was not able to hang the flag.

It left us ahead, and the second game should have been a winner. I was able, due to remarkable help from my team, to make the fifty tape opposite the snake unnoticed. I had great shots on two rainmaker players and tried for both of them... and bounced paint. It was an error on my part, I should have settled for taking one, and concentrated on one - I knew the paint was bouncey when I pulled the trigger, and it was overzealous on my part to try to take both. We were pushed back, and it ended with a RMOG flag hang, and us needing to go out for a pull and hang in the third game.

The RMOG knew what they needed to do, and they did it in the third game. holding out against our push, countering it, and winning the finals in an excellent display of teamwork. They were truly a high quality team, and well I fully ackowledge that it were my mistakes that led us to fail to win, I take nothing away from them. They overcame the same factors that we did in regards to paint and playing field, and adapted better than we did. The players on Team AO did everything that was asked of them... maybe I should have pushed the snake harder, maybe I should have made them more offensive and less defensive. Regardless of the mistakes, they did exactly what I asked of them and often more, and if that was not enough it was from a failure of my execution on my side of the field, or of my planning to begin with.

I cannot say enough about the Owners Group. I greatly enjoy the company of the people I play with on a regular basis, we play for fun, and sometimes the competetive spirit gets too high. The entire Owners Group seemed to play for fun, and the Sportsmanship of the groups, the effort and planning of Kevin, and reffing as close to faultless as I have seen in a long time. The hospitality and sportmanship of the Sport(wo)man award winning Cameo, in opening her home to those who needed a place to stay was not the exception to the owners group. I would like to thank the Palmers teams especially, I was unfamiliar with IAO, the surroundings, and the owners group as a whole. These great guys (and girls) showed me the ropes, and had me enjoying the three day party every moment of it. The players, the event organizers, the refs, and everyone else associated with the owners group that I met were friendly, outgoing, and a joy to play with or simply be around. If I had to pick a single tournament to play every year, it would be this one. One way or another I will be at the next OGD tournament, when Kevin tells us when and where - for now I expect him to take a break, for we know that the event he pulled off requires everyones contribution, and his bringing it together is a task that no doubt takes much effort.

OGD was awesome.... Robbie definetly held up his end of the bargain in playing :)

The Devilmag pictures, yeh, it met Hellfire, I wasn't smart enough to stop shooting - I should have gotten a picture of the liquid line in my loader - LOL. We traded off the Hellfire for Blaze to AKA who then used it to wipe the field with us :D .

Congrats guys, we changed our strategy and you guys took advantage of our miscalculation. it was a great game. As much as us Shockerowners wanted to win it, as you know, our support was behind you guys once we were out.

Hope to see you next year!!

Here are my pics. They are mostly of AFTICA and Team AO. I have much higher res versions of all the photos, and these were balanced using a photoshop macro, so if you see one you really like, I can use the original file to make it look a bit nicer and give you a higher res copy. I also didn't crop any of these photos, so thats obviously possible.

Many many many stories to come, but I'm exhausted and hungry.

I too would like to offer my congrats to team AO on their 2nd place. However, I would like to take this moment to thank and congratulate ALL the eams that played the OGD... You guys really are the best group of standup ballers I have had the opportunity to play against(except for that guy from MA that got suspended for 3 games that we... err his team wasn't going to be playing ;)).

Looking forward to next time!

My pics and what little I remember will be up sometime soon.

You still owe me $30 for not throwing you off. A deal's a deal.
Anyway, thanks once again to Kev, and everyone who showed up. With the exception of the one incident on the second day (mine doesnt count, I apologized), everything went smooth. I have to say, every single team out there was a blast to ball with. Yes, we placed 9th...but, which of you called where you'de place on your way to the field? We have a stategy when we play, and is usually revolves around the Sheraton.
I want to take a second also to give a special thanks to Alley. I know this was your first time out there. You went in like a trooper. Next time, we'll make sure you shoot someone. Even if its one of us (I recommend the canadian).
All in all, this was the best OGD we've had yet. I hope to see all the teams again next year, regardless of where it is. Without you guys, this wouldnt exist. Its a refreshing break from competetive PB. Sure, its a tournament, but the cameraderie came first. For the few of you that this was their first experience with either an organized tourney, or IAO, I hope you enjoyed it. Us on AFTICA didnt get to see everyone off, but we wish you all the best of luck, hope you have a safe trip, and will hopefully meet you on the field again next year.



HOORAY BEER!



EDIT: oh yeah, for all you tools who slept late this morning; I had breakfast with Greg Hastings. He's as short as me! Thor tried to steal his hat at the Sheraton too...

I would definatley like to say thank you to each and every player and vendor that showed up.. Everyone put together made for a wonderful experince for both me and my marshmellow shooting boy child. It was a blast to play against you all on the field and harass you off the field, I look forward to the next time.

Alley girl, congrads on your first tourney!!! We said last year that you would be playing this year and here you are, I hope that it was everything and more then you expected it to be.

AFTICA, you guys are a hoot. Anywhere you go the party follows. If I was ever bored for a moment I knew that all I had to do was find you guys for a bit of entertainment. You are a great group of (adorable) guys. Thank you for putting up with my sillyness and antics!! Y'all must be Gods, there is no way a mortal man can drink, play, drink, drink, drink, and manage to get up before 8 am every morning. I shall forever bow down in your presance. :hail:
ps: Whatever alley girl told you while she was drunk was probley 99% true, I just won't admit it. :clap:

Automag.org, You guys shold be soo very proud of how wonderful you did in this tourney. You are a group of great players and you learned to play very well toghether throughout the tourney. I give you guys props expecially since I did not notice a back up player, I wish you guys peace and rest for the next few days. Be very proud of yoursleves~ you have the right.

Kev, I can not thank you enough for your generosity to all of the players.. You treated everyone as if they were a long time friend. You ran a great tourney, and deserve an award in and of itself. Thank you for your patience and your encouragement this whole weekend.

and lastly the refs,
You guys were awesome!!! (Granted I know very little about touneyment reffing). To me you guys were the best of the best. Always a kind thought and a helpful hand. Your abitlity to be fair and just was astounding and very much appriciated. Thank you for your time and the experince you brought to the field. I can only hope that I get reffed by such a great group of guys every time I wander onto a paintball field. :p

Once again thank you everone for the hugs, smiles and encouragment. I couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable weekend.

My flagpull against MOG after I hit the 50 off the break. Woo woo. Awesome job, Phil.

Who wants to take bets Phil gets banned from IAO now like Josh Silverman did?

AFTICA mows faces.......in the BAR.

We set out to place 9th. While we didn't throw any games, we didn't want to have to play the 2nd day -- we wanted to party! We ended up doing exactly what we set out to do, and be the BEST of the worst ;)

The real win came at the Sheraton on Friday night, when we successfully mowed 30+ pitchers of beer..

Hoo-ha!

I just got home and settled...

Now that my mind is sorta back to where it should be. I just wanted to congrats Kev in the stellar job he did, putting this event together. This is by far the funnest time ive ever had playing tournament ball. Please make sire Deb knows how good of a job that ref crew did -- they were absolutely spectacular..

As for the games... congrats to everyone, especially to Rainmakers.. All the teams played their hearts out.. Aside from a few bumps during a few games, it was awesome..

Congrats everyone! It was so nice to put faces to all the names, even if alot of them were through the bottom of Pint glasses :)

Ok, second post. I want to give a HUGE shout out to the reffing staff. They were all on a team from Michigan, I believe. Their captain told me their name, but I have ,ong since forgotten. And, one last great big thanks (no kisses on the head though); STD, I'm glad you guys were there. Dan and Bill, you guys fit right in with our AFTICA-ness. We look forward to seeing you at future events. Two very stand up guys. After the night at the Sheraton, I'm surprised you guys were up as early as I was (of course, I had to go find my phone). and, tigress's shirt was the best :)

Hey guys, had a blast playing with all you Mag drivers, especially AFTICA, my heros of the IAO. Hope to see you next year!

magman007
08-01-2005, 04:32 PM
Well, today is the last day for IAO, and tomorrow I will head home with a hangover and fond memories. IAO itself was a bust. I'll update more after I see a couple games, but for the most part, the venue was weak at best with HALF the vendors you would see at a NPPL or PSP event, and half the teams. They were even offering free registration to anyone that wanted to sign up for Novice division, because they only had 1 novice team.
There were 4 fields and at any one given time, maybe 2 were running prior to the start of 7 man. This was just the owners groups and the 3 man series, but still, there was a time where they needed 11 fields to run all the games.
Now, about the owners groups. What a great bunch of guys and gals!! This is what paintball was meant to be. Friends that are competing for the fun of it. There was no cheating, no un-sportsman like conduct (except for a small Tippman incident), none of the crap you tend to have at almost any tourney- large or small. These people were here to have fun, get a little bragging rights, hangout and enjoys themselves. And even though I have "retired" from tourney play, I will still participate in next year’s owners’ group division- wherever they hold it.
On to the play. Well, it was a slow start for Matrixowner.com. We couldn't find a groove, and were playing too cautious to be effective on the field. The idea behind the owners group is that most of these people don't play together, and in many cases, have never even met. Some have played this before, and it was an advantage, but only at the beginning of the day.
So, up till lunch, we did .... ****ty. Tried a few different combinations with players (we had an alternate) and right after lunch, we found something that was working. It wasn't the people so much as what they needed to do.
Once we got that down, we started winning. Unfortunately, it was almost too late for our little formula and we barely squeezed another team out for a spot in the semi- finals.
Day 2: We have 3 games for semis, and that was it. Lose 2, and your out. We dropped our first one, but instead of getting all down on ourselves (which I have seen more times than I can count with many teams) we got determined and turned it around for the second game. At this point there was only 15 points between the 1st place and last place of the semis, and everyone had one more game to play.
When it was our turn, we moved like a well-oiled machine, but the other team tried a desperate ploy that paid off in their favor. They sent 2 to the 50 on the break and we only counted 1. They left a corner open and pushed hard straight up the middle. It was hard fought from there, I dropped their left tombstone and turned to concentrate on the center back and right corner, and that is when we found out that the 50 still had someone in it. I got lit up with about 6 hits, 2 of which broke. It was so unexpected, that I yelled "****" on the field, and then apologized to the ref for cursing. (This all right after one of the Tippman guys was pulled for a filthy mouth in the prior game. I mean filthy) When all was said and done, we traded bodies till there was just one- theirs. So, we ended up with 5th or 6th place overall, which isn't too bad, but not what anyone had hoped for.
That night was the awards ceremony and players party. It was geared a little too much for a younger crowd (what was Deb thinking? A CLOWN?) And the free beer tasted like piss to those of us old enough to drink it (or get away with drinking it) So, my initial final word on this is that the IAO itself blew, but I had a great time with the owners groups, and a lot of fun at the unofficial players party that took place at the Legends cafe just outside of the conference room for the party, I met a LOT of great people, some old, some new (and Peg from GEN -E was there with Paul Sattler -owner of Gen-E. Good to see them again and they asked I tell everyone at MO "Hi" for them. * side note* Peg and Paul are proud parents now of an 8 month old baby boy). Crazy from Fireball Mountain and I discussed the anno possibilities for the DMC; and Dawn Allcot, editor for Paintball Sports International and I talked it up for a while.
I will be back next year, and hopefully, the event shapes up better, or the owners groups moves somewhere else.
More still to come....

Well, that was a wasted 30 minutes back to the field after writing the first portion of this. We got there somewhere around 2 something, and most of the vendors had already packed and left. Even the “big boys” - National and Draaxxus were packing as we walked around. This all while the final games were still being played. ( they were still on Div II ). Virtually No one was going to be there for the final games at the rate things were going.
One of the few notable vendors that were still setup and running was Angry. A great group of guys, that definitely take care of their customers.
The game play was actually pretty intense for the Div II games we did stay for, but alas, the refing was slightly lacking. Not saying that the ref’s were bad, just that I am willing to bed that they were tired as hell from working since Thursday (and probably a little on Wednesday as well) and it’s now Sunday, so they missed a few hits here and there. Taxing for anyone, considering what they go through.
And I would like to point out that the refing for the owners group division was outstanding. Granted, there is a difference between our group and the regular 7 man players, but these guys were on top of everything, and should be congratulated. The team that reffed us was Team High Rollers.
I did see Dawn Allcot and her husband (you have to forgive me, I’m really horrible with names) again, and they were pulling his tank along that he brought for the scenario game, ready to make the trek home.
All in all, IAO has slipped from grace and has become something more like a grand poon-ball event, barely a shell of it’s former glory. I would really like to see Deb turn it around and build it back up to what it once was and once stood for, but her current direction has the event spiraling downward towards being a thing of the past.

I didn't see anyone in the owners group caring about "respect" for "ability". We all went in with respect for one another as players... noone there was there to earn respect for ability, everyone who earned respect did so for the sportsmanship people brought... it was never about ability, at least to me, and everyone I talked to.

When I looked at the snake it worried me, no cover to the back corner. I made the decision (you proved it wrong) that Robbie and I pushing hard up the right, Zack up the center, and DJ and Drew covering could win it. Your backs dumped a LOT of paint on Robbie and I, I kinda think, having not changed our strategies since the beginning of the day, you expected it. It was still a failure to execute on my part... I think the strategy could have worked had I done my part in it...

When I looked at the snake it worried me, no cover to the back corner. I made the decision (you proved it wrong) that Robbie and I pushing hard up the right, Zack up the center, and DJ and Drew covering could win it. Your backs dumped a LOT of paint on Robbie and I, I kinda think, having not changed our strategies since the beginning of the day, you expected it. It was still a failure to execute on my part... I think the strategy could have worked had I done my part in it...


For some reason, teams knew we were hitting the snake off hte break, but noone sent anyone to the back left. Agaisnt AKA they didnt even send anyone, allowing us to just run up that side, very odd.

After you guys beat us in the first game, we knew we needed to hold off robbie while we worked up the snake since you guys werent covering it at all, and htats what we did. We put two in the snake, one covered while the other one ran up the side and shot anyone who wasnt looking. We had 4 shooting off the break, which seemed to work. our mid guy stayed posted on the flag until the flag runner was shot, then stayed posted on robbie, while the back center, and back left posted on the doritos waiting for the move. The Dorito was a key bunker, but we had noone to play it, so we chose to play defense on one side, and push the other.

LOL - I was always playing the dorito... I knew Robbie needed support and we felt if we moved up fast we could neutralize the snake by playing it sideways. It worked up to you guys. We had conversations on the field like this

Me: Robbie I'm pinned
Robbie: Move..
Me: They are all shooting at me
Robbie: They can't be, they are all shooting at me

OMG you guys shot a lot of paint - and did so very effectively by pinning both Robbie and I into our bunkers.

Heh..I got shot from crossfield before he got there though. :nono: I wish there was a picture of me shooting three from there in the third game too. Hehehe. ;)

But yeah, our game plan was just to shoot a lot of paint on your bunkers, especially Robbie's. In the third game, I moved up to the snake when one of your guys got shot and I think one was moving, and it seems that nobody saw me. A few stray paintballs seemed to hit the snake, but nobody tried to hit it with a lot of paint or move on me. After a long crawl to the end and two breaks along the way (it was tiring...I thought the game would be over by the time I got down there), I came out your end and noticed both of your back players were fully exposed to me, and then I was able to shoot someone up near your 40 or 50 in the doritos also. I was really surprised to see you guys didn't send someone to the snake or the back corner after I had gone there both games. :wow: I think the key to that field was both shooting a lot of paint, and getting control of the snake.

I had a great time playing with all of you guys, and I can't wait to see you all there next year! Thanks to making the IAO the most enjoyable part of my summer (or maybe even year??)!

I told 'em to put a guy there to at least get a good watch on snake, if not try and take it. It was obvious how important the snake was, but we could never use it well.

effect didnt actully make it to the ogd so i don't think he got the jist and the coolness of the tournament. sorry bout that.

mag i don't think you beat us in pts. we took 6th and you took 8th didn't you? seriously j/wing

but as said before WE didn't throw a hissy. ONE player throw a hissy. which i'd rather not post about all over the internet. If you want you can PM me.

from what i see, you ethier loved us or hated us. It was our first yr there, and we didnt have any of those more mature its all for fun mentality players. Not this yr. next yr i hope to run 2 teams both of which are there for fun. we did as a team have a blast however so eh.. whatever sorry to anyone we pissed off. I think you can only come up with that one incident where we weren't sportsman like. On the field, on OUR side of the feild we said things to each to get pumped, including HATE which from what i understand people who aren't around the speedball scene much took way too serious. Hate comes from detriot strange. a team both me and other team mates are huge fans of. hense the hate on our jerseys. Don't forget we had LOVE plastered all over.

However I do want to make one suggestion... try and leave the soccermoms at home. Its cool that they came out to support yall but when we are quietly heckleing/cheering on a friend, and debating a ref call one of yalls moms took it like we were personally attacking your team and steamed past us saying "how could you guys be mean to our kids, your grown adults". Of course talking down and expalning yourself to a soccermom is easier said than done.

Without the moms.. how do we get there? and what did the mom look like? they didn't know what the event was about so you'll hafta forgive them. remember we are all kids, and we're in the age where our moms want tons of pictures and stuff.They are used to going to tournaments where players are there strictly to win and the mentality is totally different. So their graud is naturally up. The mom probley saw it as a bunch of old guys hating on some less expereienced little kids. No matter how well you do, at this age parents always believe you need direction and support at every turn. They all just want to be the hero. Which is understandable. I will do that too when im a father.. well only with my son. My daughter won't be allowed out of the house. Dang boys these days... In all honesty though, i think we did well considering how young we were. im proud of my players for holding our own against you guys. Which player throw the tizzy at the staging area? i know of the field incident... (Sorry again, were all hardcore speedballers on the tippmann team and its hard to turn that off.) however, next yr we now know what ticks people off and what not to say. so things will be diffierent.


by the way, those vans were rented i swear! my mom wouldn't be caught dead owning a van and has that run soccer moms off the rd. mentality

Hey TO...
Which one are you?

As for the soccor mom.. the problem was she juuuust didn't understand the game - her complaint came when your back left guy was complaining about the shot to the stomach of the BE guy (for the life of me, I can't remember who it was) that bounced.
She was convinced (to be honest like a good portion of us on the sidelines) that he was hit.
While your guy was arguing with the Ref, BE was checked, and determined clean - and the rest of us cheered for both the bounce and the ref getting on him fast. At that point, your guy got double gogged.. which elicited another cheer from us on the side (cause hey, who doesn't like the double gog shot no matter which team).

That set her off.

What she failed to miss was hearing the comments from us previous to that which amounted to a lot of respect for your guys and how y'all were doing overall... again, we may (well most of us may be) older, but you gotta respect some of the moves y'all were doing (like COMPLETELY fooling us the first game, when we were positive y'all would make the hard run, and we pretty much laned for no reason :-P)

The thing was, we were all pretty much cheering for everyone - heck I was willing to try and find my guys and get you thier guns - but they didn't show until Friday (I heard some of you got to dryfire thier "slightly modified" team guns) - and I think she might have missed that.

ScottQ
08-03-2005, 02:47 PM
TO- A lot of us are hardcore speedball players, you dont see us doing that, but thats OK, everyone learns to relax.


Nitehawk- the BE guy that was shot at was me. I shot the last tippmann guy, and he also shot me in the leg, the ball bounce, but I wasnt sure, so I let the ref check me, while the other kid kept on yelling at me, and was shot again.

Speedball isnt all about yelling, hating, and hurting other people, if you think that is what its all about you need to stop playing. All my of my players are "hardcore" speedball players" but you never saw us yelling at the refs, complaining about other people, or ranting about "HATE HATE HATE!". OGD is for fun, I could care less if we win or lose, I just wanted to have fun...with a working gun which was harder then it looked.

yeah id love to play next year but im not sure if i'll be legal i'll be playing psp d3 x-ball but if i am legal i'll come back with the tog and use a tippmann bc i should have a new board for it by then. and i dont see how the term soccer mom comes into it both the vans that were there were rented and if they didnt come no way to get there like stated above.


You will be fine, I play D1 CFOA and noone said a thing about me playing, it will be the same next year.

Nah, I have a ton of respect for you guys. You were the main game we were worried about in the semis, that should say enough. You guys were in the same boat as us, tons of gun problems, but good players. Dont worry man, No hate coming from here, I love everyone in the OGD(except for two people, and they both play on the same team :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE.

im glad we got that taken care of. You guys played soem awesome ball. and it obviously showed. We were the new guys on the block and we acted like A holes, it won't happen again.

sorry again to all. I had a blast.

You didnt act like A holes. You guys are young. And, it was your first experience there. no biggie. Hell, I tossed my gun (I was mad at myself, NOT at anyone else). And, I'm old! We all get heated...all water under the bridge. the big thing is that everyone had a good time.
melissa, my knee is still healing. I think I did more damage to it than originally suspected. But, I'll live. no big deal. It was good to see you and Kayle again. glad you all had a great time. Hope to see all you AGD folks again next year. I think I'm gonna try being sober the whole time.
Ok, maybe not. I dont think my crew would allow that, actually.

from the capt of the tippmann team-

effect didnt actully make it to the ogd so i don't think he got the jist and the coolness of the tournament. sorry bout that.

mag i don't think you beat us in pts. we took 6th and you took 8th didn't you? seriously j/wing

but as said before WE didn't throw a hissy. ONE player throw a hissy. which i'd rather not post about all over the internet. If you want you can PM me.

from what i see, you ethier loved us or hated us. It was our first yr there, and we didnt have any of those more mature its all for fun mentality players. Not this yr. next yr i hope to run 2 teams both of which are there for fun. we did as a team have a blast however so eh.. whatever sorry to anyone we pissed off. I think you can only come up with that one incident where we weren't sportsman like. On the field, on OUR side of the feild we said things to each to get pumped, including HATE which from what i understand people who aren't around the speedball scene much took way too serious. Hate comes from detriot strange. a team both me and other team mates are huge fans of. hense the hate on our jerseys. Don't forget we had LOVE plastered all over.

no, we finished 6th, you guys ended up wth about 90 or so points, we had125 to my count

But still, What ifs abound...
what if 3/4 of the ogd wasn't drunk on friday ...
What if the paint didn't bounce...
What if Alley's marker wasn't so gawd awful heavy...
what if NiteHawk would have just let me play more in the begining...
ect...

Nope. The head score table people noticed one game that got messed up by the refs (when we were still giving them the score sheets), screwing them out of some points. I took that into account and added it onto Shocker Owners' total after the end of the day, putting them into first place. :)
