Well, I had the opportunity to play with an excellent team at IAO. Dropzone Dyslexic Dogs from Kansas. They are a pretty well known team and have been around for a long time, and thier captain, Galin Adams, is a genius on the field for lack of a better word. These guys trusted me enough to pick me up for the 3 man, and I will forever be greatful for it. I learned more from them in 2 days than in the last year of playing on the field. Trial by fire I guess. haha. But I did my best to not let them down, and our first day we swept every team we played against. There were a couple rough times, but overall our first day was fantastic. We finished with 771 out of 800 total points, and were 3rd overall.
Semi's the next day were a totally different story. Our first game was against S.P.O.R.E.S. and WOW did they rock us hard. Excellent team, great guys, very sporstmanship like and everything. They were our first game of the day and the 3 of us were not prepared for the onslaught that awaited us. After those two games, we almost had a stalemate with the next team, but I snap shot the last two players the first game. Then we switched sides and I made the stupidest n00b move ever by not haveing a timer and not knowing if the last guy was hit or not, so I was slow in grabbing the flag. I still don't forgive myself for it, and was so mad at myself for the rest of the day.
But live and learn I guess. The last game of the day was fun and we just went nuts cause it dident matter. The skinny kid tried to just run straight through while grabbing the flag and almost made it, the flag was about 8 feet from the wall. haha. I tried to redeem myself by takeing out the everyone (almost did it) the first game, then the second game got them all. Snap shot one, bunkered one then the last guy was out on a 1 for 1 cause the guy I bunkered wasent too happy and turned and shot me.
But I have to thank AGD Jon for setting me up with these guys. It was a once in a lifetime thing I think and I will forever be greatful. I dont have a ton of pics, but these are nice.
