What a day, what a day. :D The tournament went exrememly well and the weather could not have been much better. We had a blast and did some intense marketing for AGD. Everyone we talked to wanted to see our E-Mags and couldn't beleve how well we were playing with them and the warps.
They had a hugh turnout for teams. I believe they broke a record in attendence with 69 teams participating. Out of those 69 teams that attended at Challenge Park Xtreme on Sunday, we finished in 5th place.
After maxing all 5 of our games in the Prelim's, we took 1st in our division and advanced to the Semi's of 16 teams total.
In the semi's, we played a round robin of 3 games (hopefully they keep this format for the upcoming CPSA series). We maxed our first 2 games in the Semi's (the second game only lasted 30 seconds ;) ) but dropped our last game which knocked us out of the finals (due to some faulty reffing and players playing on after they were hit).
We maxed 7 of 8 games and still didnt make it to the finals. That tells you of the competition that we played against. Good job to everyone who played! ;)
One gripe I had about the day was the complete lack of safety. Check out the photo I attached of the fields. You can see how close the fans were to the fields and there was no netting to protect them from getting shot. Not to mention a few teams shooting paint out in the fields from the staging area. Kind of reminded me of Badlandz.
But we did some nice marketing for AGD and represented all the 'mag owners well. All three of us were shooting E-Mag's with warps. What an attention getter. Not to mention that AGD stickers kept appearing everywhere. Wonder why? ;) Check out the photo of the Challeneg Park logo.
All in all it was a fun day. We played well anf Im happy with the result even though I'm a little diappointed about the final outcome. Not to shabby.
