Well, finally played in my first tournament
We put together a team consisting of players from Yellowknife, NWT Canada. We'd played each other up here, but never as a 5 man team. Also - forced to play Novice as there was no Rookie
The field was Paintball Action Games in Edmonton. They built a new indoor facility from the ground up. Dale and the gang have been in paintball a long time, having an outdoor field south of Edmonton. This place was built beautifully (although, they have a problem of the field dirt being tracked through the whole establishment). It's about 180' x 85' (see pics here http://www.paintballaction.net/indoor.html)
Well, I never thought I would get so many looks playing with an Emag!. My set up - Emag centre feed, eVLution II, Freak, 88-4500 Flatline.. I got comments "ooo is that an Emag? (me - yeah - them - SWEET) and "that's a rare site"
This was land of the Timmy's with WAS boards and Angels.
The Emag was fairly consistent. In the chrono room 285, 287, 285.. On the field 303, 303, 303... I think they had a bad handheld radar chrony as a few markers got pulled.
We made a few rookie mistakes, but were lucky enough to beat some teams that had been together for a year or more
A great experience, I'll do it again really soon
I'll see if I have any pictures worth posting
