Florida peeps...step up!!

[Lee]

the ao-fl meet is a go.

from 1-75, go south across the mantee river to sr64. head east on 64 for approx 10-12 miles. look for a dragstrip. take the first right past the dragstrip (222nd street) look for the florida gladiaters sign.

the gladiators capt. has a compressor in his garage, so fills will be no problem. a 1$ donation is requested to help with food. byop is no problem.

20 acre field IIRC, several scenario teams will be in attendance.

anyone looking to convoy?

[midtimes]

An AO meet huh?
Sounds fun. I'll try to make it. Hopefully I can get my minimag working. For these AO meets do you have to use a Mag? Hope that isn't a horrible question to ask here.

[Lee]

it'd be cool to have you there anek.

no, not neccessary to have a mag, anything is accepable.

[TheDuelist]

No Mag!!!! How can you go to an AUTOmags.org meet without a mag? Man I tell you people these days.

Just kidding....i'd like to be there but i don't think I will make it. I hate it when real life messes with my paintball.

[truss]

just wanted to let everybody know that there is a new X-ball feild up at gator paintball in hudson.they also started clearing a spot for another airball feild.i think that makes 10 feilds overall for gator.if anybody wants to check it out you can get dirrections from www.gatorpaintball.com (i would tell you how to get there but i cant find my way out of a wet paperbag.)

LEE: I was just wondering how practices have been going. My old roomate Steve got the 27th off, so he will be down there with me for the tourney to help out with the scoreboard as well. Let me know About those practices.

[Lee]

thanks truss, i may have to make a trip there soon....

zippy: practices are going well, for now.

some conflict has already arisen as to how the team is to be run and who is to be on it. actually, i have no conflict, i know what i want and what should be done, but ownership has different ideas. i may not be on the team much longer much less captain. i'm still waiting to hear from ownership regarding the above.

regardless, i'll be there until after the tourney as i have committed to that and it's for a friend and a very very good cause. i'm very happy steve is willing to come, it'll be great to see him again and i'm sure he'll be a great help!
thanks again guy!

theduelist: you gunwhore you! lol. you know you'd be rockin the 'borg if you went to the ao day!

[TheDuelist]

OK, OK i'm busted. The 'borg would certainly be the primary slinging the paint. I really do wish I could make it but I guess I'll have to see everyone at the next one.

[Lee]

hey all.

shot my first rt ule custom today. a fella dumped his omen and bought one. had a ule trigger kit in it. not walkable, but very fannable. i'm sure it could be tweaked though. over all very nice. he was happy with it. omen broke ALOT of paint. needless to say, no chops with his lvl 10.

anyone go to showdown today?

what happened in the area paintball world that i missed?
everyone have a good day?

and you're a postwhore.

thanks for making it 924!

[TheDuelist]

Nuts? Why do we have to be nuts? I prefer to think of us as dedicated ballers who just happen to live in Florida.

well said chris.

[Wes Janson]

I spent 5 hours today at Hi-Tech getting in some service hours. Chris was busy practicing with his team, so for the first five games I was the only one running the show (and of those, three I had no walkie talkies). Definitely an interesting experience, and quite fun too. It was a small crowd, starting at a half dozen and growing to about two/three dozen players by the time Chris had taken it back over and we were working together to ref the games. Trying to get everyone together in a small group to go play the same field at the same time is worse than herding cats. Nonetheless, the games occurred on schedule and I think everyone had a fair bit of fun with mostly even teams. It makes me appreciated even more the necessity of a golf cart, and the pains one goes through running the field.

[Lee]

i hear ya man. not many things harder than getting a group of ballers to agree on one thing.

how are refs treated there? pay/benefits etc?

rneed any refs? i may be looking for a new gig soon and am looking at options.
