AGD Lions miss the cut by 8 points

[SteveD]

Sorry guys, we ended up in 9th in the NPPL Super 7 in Chicago, missing the semifinals by 8 points. The first day we took 3 out of 4 games but lost the 4th when we tried to get too aggresive (taking the other teams' 40). The second day we won 2 and dropped 2 games putting us short of the semi's. Our last 2 games were our pro games with us winning the first and losing a close one in our last game. Here's a couple of pics from FON.

I know its the last thing that you want to hear... but did you guys at least have fun? No one can fault someone for loosing in paintball if they had fun.

In the second picture, it looks like that guy is grabbing the others *** :D

That's all I got. Thanks to Tom, Jon JJ, Kayle and all of the AGD staff for their help and support. Also thanks to National Paintball for the Diablo Hellfire paint, J&J Performance for the awsome barrels and Smokin' Paintball for gearing us up with their new pants. Next month...the IAO!

Well we're trying to break him of that habit.;)
Who knows? It might make the front guy run a little faster to his bunker.

Like NJPaint said: As long as you guys had fun, thats all that matters. You all still made us proud!

[SteveD]

Yes, it was a good time. It's always a better time when you're in the finals! It was our first outing with the new Extremes and they rocked. See you in PA.

I agree.. everything is better at the top(or close to it)

*Steps up on soapbox

My personal belief is that it is nice if a pro/sponsered team wins but I always find it more important to rep the sport and sportsmanship in the best light possible. I am sure you guys do that well:D

*off soapbox

Cool photos. Like it when the camera catches a paintball flying by...

[Scooter/Cootie]

Good job guys. Todd and I managed to make it out on Friday and caught a few of your games. Looking good! :cool:

While we were sitting in the stands, it was pretty amazing to see how many people knew of the factory teams and the size of the crowd you guys were drawing. Keep up the good work!

If you look at the pics close you'll see some Extremes. I'm shooting one along with Tracy, Chance, Andy & Jason. Having just recieved the new guns with only a week before a tourney some of the guys used their original E-Mags (not exactly roughing it).

I can only take credit for stealing those shots from forceofnature.com. It's hard to get your own shots through the netting at the fields and FON was there on the field taking pics.
