im the one on the far right with the flag on my chest. the123 is the one on the far left.
we did really good. missed the seim's by a game. one guy on our team made a move to the 50 but his pack came off so he was called out. that really hurt but thats how paintball goes. oh yeah we were the only team to beat the team that won our brackit (sharp shooters);)

Hey i played on the smae field as you guys in the rookie class. We missed the semi's by like 40 points. I have the blue emag, i saw you playing a couple times. It's kinda hard to miss a red emag. I play for Team Saints a blue and black jersey. I liked our field it was fun and you guys played well. Nice pics man!!!

what was the floor made of??
i saw some video clips of people sliding on their knees pretty far, i thought it was hardwood, but from those pics it looks like some sort of carpet/rug

Yeah, you guys played exactly opposite of us during the day.
we got to watch all the pro's go at it between our games during the preliminaries. Intense games and high flying emotions mixed with very colorful language, you could really sense the professionalism. Those things combined made it a real pleasure to watch.
The reffing wasn't bad in my opinion, when things got close they had had no hesitation to pull everyone involved. Games went realy quick.
The paint was good to shoot, broke on contact and not in the gun, near impossible to wipe,the Chronic Paintball's debut was great.
The event went so-so as far as organization. They had told our division that we would start at 8pm the following day. Only by chance did my captain go down to the floor the folloing morning and found out that we would be playing at 3pm instead! Well needless to say 2 or 3 OTHER teams didn't show up till about 6 or 7 when they had been originally told to. They were forced to forfiet those previous games and play the rest out w/o any compensation that I know of. A very BAD deal for them and made the promotors look REALLY bad. The TINY (imo) trade show didn't open that Thursday night like the intinerary said, and games shut down 1 hour early on Friday which forced us to return to play for only 1 game on Saturday afternoon.
We did play well, and our games were reffed fairly which made the experience go well. I do believe, but am not 100% sure(I have seen no official scores) we placed 19th overall in the Novice division. I am for SURE we placed 3rd in our division 1 game away from the semi-finals. We will own the field next year I promise!

The floor WAS carpet and was great to slide on, providing you were on pads, and you didn't hit the seam (ouch!).

The guy holding the Hedron is Will Akroyd. The designer and guy in the background is Greg Duncan, he is also the guy responsible for electrofying the Matrix. A real nice guy if you can make allowances for his sense of humour :D
