It's called a 3-man scramble and it's being hosted by Mid-Cities Paintball in between Dallas and Ft. Worth, Texas. This tournament is scheduled for April 5, 2003.
I played in a similar tournament this past December (hosted by Mid-Cities and organized by Evil) and I have to say that it was one of the most fun paintball experiences I have ever had. The unique characteristic of this tournament is the method by which teams are chosen. You have three hats; one includes the "Amateur/Pro" players, another includes the "Novice" players and the third includes the "Rookie/Rec" players. One player from each hat is chosen to make a team which will stay together through the tournament.
Team Evil and Team PMI were in full attendance last time and I suspect they will be present in April, too. Roy Estrada, the field owner, runs one of the friendliest paintball venues in town with quality refs who will remember your face and name from visit to visit.
The environment of the tournament was light-hearted (one field of play with coaching/harassing allowed from the sidelines) and only one player ever lost his cool...and he only did it once. Top-level tournament players teamed up with first-tournament rec-ballers was the norm and the whole day was pleasant. Prizes will be awarded for first through fifth place:
- 1st: Works Autocockers
- 2nd: Works Swing Triggers
- 3rd: Rage Packs
- 4th: PMI Jerseys
- 5th: Free field/air passes for Mid-Cities Paintball
For the entry fee ($120), you will get entry into the tournament, one case of PMI Allstar, lunch (fantastic catered BBQ) and all-day air. Extra paint will be sold at $60 per case.
I'll be there wearing my black and gold Automags Online jersey professionally crafted by our friends at Custom Sports Gear.
