today we played our first tourney at STP paintball in Snohomish, Washington. god was it fun and your adrenaline gets pumping. i didnt realize that we were gonna do so good, but we did.
there was a little mistake that someone made ans out team name turned out to be "Kory Porter"(our friend that broke his colar bone and had to withdraw) instead of "Blockade Jr."(and no blazestorm it wasnt my fault!) the refs were quite humored and confused when they had to call our names to let us know that we were up or on deck. one ref said that he would perfer our name over "Road Squadren Flight 2."
the first game we got totally whipped my the best team in the league. i would have done much better but i got called out for some bs thing. i guess i shot before i passed the plane on the deadbox:confused: the refs didnt explain that very well to us.
after that our games were off and on. we beat the teams that we thought we would have no chance of beating and we lost to the team that we should have beat. we actually maxed this one team that didnt lose all day.
then it all came down to the last game. if we lose, then we dont have a chance to get into the semis. if we max, then we have a good chance. fyi, this game was played against some really good chicks with tricked vikings. Off the break i went to the center 30(my fav. position), my friend went to the back right, and my other friend went to the back left. i didnt peg anyone off the break but the chick in the center 30 had her hopper sticking out, so i shot her hopper and got her out. then after that, my friend in the back left got called for a tiny hit on his glove. so now its only me and my friend in the back right. i stayed posted on the chick in the center fifty as my friend moved up to the center fifty to bunker her. once she was gone, we went up the field to shoot the last remaining chick in hte back right. my friend shot her once, but he didnt see it break so he kept on shooting. evidently it did break and the ref almost called him for bonus balling, but thank god he didnt since it was a hard hit to see.
so in the prelims, we got 8th place overall and was hoping that our scores were good enough to make semis. we checked the scoreboard when they posted all the scores we made the semis by 2 points! were so happy as we got ready got our next game.
we totally blew it in the semis. lost to the first two teams that we should have beat, but kept on making mistakes after mistakes. my other teammates could do communicate and thats probably what costed up those two games. well we didnt care what happened to our last semi final game so were like"screw it" and didnt are what would happed since we knew that we didnt make finals. so we just went out there and played pretty well and almost maxed but one of out teammates got out.
overall we tied for 5th place. thats pretty good for our first tourney ever. i didnt think we even had a chance to get into semis when i first got there, but we did and im happy. i had a great time and i hope to play much more later on in the year.
o ya, i only saw one other mag besides blazestorm's ule emag and retroeclipse's mag. the rest were timmys, vikings, and cockers.
