spectators @ Huntington

whenever any paint made it over the net they had a crew cleaning it up off the floor!

heavy traffic by the vendor tents

The NPPL Super 7 at Huntington Beach is by far the BEST tournament I have EVER seen for paintball. The venue, the way it was ran, the refs, the players; was just outstanding! The tournament drew outside spectators to view the games. Lots of foot traffic. There was actually CONCRETE! No dust bowl! It took paintball out of the backyards and into the public.

As you can see from the picture above, if any paint made it over the netting, they had a crew to clean it up! I give them lots of respect for that.

Due to the bunker setup on the fields, the games were fast moving. The layout prevented "back guy stand-offs". It will take some adjusting for teams, but in the long run it will make the games more exciting. The netting was about 30-40 feet high. There was even netting around part of the pier.

The only semi-bad thing was the lack of vendors. There was only a few big name vendors; unlike some of the other events. However, that was to be expected since the Super 7 is something new and companies don't know which would be more worth-while for them. I still don't know why Fugi Films was there... :p There was movie crews interviewing people and shooting throughout the day.

One last bad thing about the event. They had a stage with live music right next to one of the playing fields. The band was playing while a game was going on, which made it impossible for on field communications without using some type of hand signals. If they change anything, I hope it would be that.

Hey guys,

I went to Huntington (on Saturday), instead of the Expo. I didn't know which one would be better to go to.

Although the Tourny was really well run, and fun to watch, I wish I would have gone to the Expo to meet up with you guys.... oh well, maybe next time... :)

[Clare]

you wish! you'd be on the ground in the next pic! :p

[PsychoBaller]

putting them back in your pack during a game wastes alot of time, its just easier to refill hopper , drop pod and pick it up after the game. also sometimes empty pods are a good barrier.

i thoguth NPPL made a rule that if the pod is hit that you threw you are out, or something like that

[Blazestorm]

If it is touching you/clothing than you are, because that it's considered equipment, otherwise throw pods are not.

[cris8762]

that's only if there is paint left IN the pod

[845]

Nope only if u are touching it. If there is paint in a thrown pod, it gets hit, and u pick it up and fill your hopper u are out.
