EXCITED and DISAPPOINTED after my first tourney
It's a little long.......
Who: Me, with my mag in my sig
What: My first tounament, a top gun, with about 30 people
When: Saturday
Where: Springfield, MO, Paint Games Plus
Why: For fun:)
Prize: 2002 mini cocker with C.P. barrel, drop forward, micro line, asa & 12volt revolution
Points: Flag Pull - 1, Elimination - 3
So here's what happened;
It was a round robin with I think 7 people in 4 divisions. 5 people go to the finals, the winner from each division and a wild card.
So we started. Ofcourse I was the first game. Right at the start I started break'in paint like a mad man. I had sized my insert wrong, DOH! Miraculously I won.
Anyway the day went on and the top person in my division had 15, I had 13 I would have had 12 and tied with like 4 other people if I had not maxed my last game. The top in the other divisions where I think 12, 12, and 18. I ended up getting the wild card into the finals.
Yaaaaaay.
So for the finals they doubled the size of the field and did another round robin. I won my first two games then lost my third and won my last one. Ending up with 9 points.
Here's the kicker. I tied for first. But since the guy I tied had beaten me in the finals, he got the whole thing. And I left empty handed. 
They didn't even have a playoff. I don't know if that's the way it is normally done but I was disappointed.
The funny thing is that the guy I tied was the first guy I talked to before the tournament and the guy I set up next to. I thought that was kind of ironic.
Other than the breaks at the begining because of the sleeve, I only had one other break right at the end of another game. So I was pretty happy with my equipment.
So that's my first tourney.
