Scott here, Me and my team never entered a 3 man tourny. Not use to it. Can we get some tips on how to play a 3man?

[petefol]

triangulate so you can always cover each other.

1 in back 2 in front or 1 in front 2 in back?

[Tony Arrivo]

Out strategy in our first 3 man tournament not long ago was for everyone to shoot like mad off the break and then once they tuck into their bunkers send your front man up while the two guys in back keep shooting.Then, if you want you can send a mid-man up to help out.

This worked great for us in our first tournament. We had the lower end guns out of anyone there and we kept first for a while but ended up doing pretty darn well for our first time.

Thx, Keep them coming guys

Another one I've always wanted to try is to have 2 guys shoot like crazy off the break while on of your guys runs straight down one side of the field. I've seen this work before but it usually depends on the team you're competing against. I don't know if you'd actually want to do this. It just looks hilarious and can sometimes catch the other team way off guard.


MAJOR TIP: Never underestimate the other team! No matter what guns they're using don't underestimate them.

(I don't think you're n00bs though so you prolly already know this)

We been playing for 3 years with each other and at least once a month maybe more, for 3 years. We have had great practice and we think we can do our best and win hopefully at least.

[Tony Arrivo]

cool, good luck hope you guys win

[Kevmaster]

we have two guys slowly move to their bunker and sweet spot a bunker we expect the other team to hit off the break. the third guy tries to go to the 40 or so--if hes feeling good, the 50.

usually works. weve placed 2nd and 1st in our last 2 three mans

[JEDI]

What Kevmaster said! Thats the way we go about it. One guy way up front. One back corner "back guy" and one mid guy floats between back and 40. That way mid guy is second to move forward. Back and mid guy shoot off the break. I like my back guy to be on the tape side (or same side) as most forward guy. He protects forward guy. Mid guy watches opposite side of field. WAIT A MINUTE! What tournament is this for? We're doing a 3 man soon!

Ok, everyone. Calm down.

If ICOM is from LI, NY and JEDI is from North Jersey, I think it's safe to assume that we (and yes, my team will be there also) are all talking about the same tounrny, the 3-Man at Paintball Arena this saturday. Now that this is out of the way, all we can do give each other as many tips as possible so that AO teams will be able to represent.

Now on to the tips as I'm all ears.

P.S.: What are the teams that will have AO members. Black Cell will be there and will probably play the 3-Man. I noticed that JEDI is from Dead Cell. I am of the Stud Squad. How about you ICOM?

[Dayspring]

I'm a free agent looking to play. There was a guy who PM'd me but hasn't gotten back to me yet.

[ICOM]

Since we haven;t entered many tournies we be in rookie div. Team name is UnDefined.

[petefol]

it doesnt really matter if you have 2 up and 1 back or 1 up and 2 back, just try to stasy in a triangle.

[AssassN]

no way to arragne 3 people without being in a triangle...
