    First Tournament

    On Sunday Tremor had its first tournament, a three man. It was at Reamls of Ruin in Illinois. There was one Sup-Air field, and one woods field. No one on our team had ever played Sup-Air.

    In our first game our left tape player's gun was shooting hot, (an Impulse) and since he had never used it before, he didn't know how to turn it down. So we had our first ever tournament game one gun down, on Sup-Air, which no one had ever played on before. The guy with no gun got shot out quickly after the break, and then my right tape guy got hit. I managed to get the other team's back player out before I got pinched. We scored 7 points, for one elim.

    Second game, all markers worked. Also on Sup-Air, and we got maxed. Right tape shot off break, left tape hit on hopper (a Ricochet, mind you) and then 30 sec after that I got hit in my hopper.

    Third game, our last game on the Sup-Air. We tried a different thing, with all guys starting shooting on the break, then running to their bunkers. We loaded the left side with 2 players, and I was in the middle. As the other team went to bunker one of the front players, the other one shot him out. On the break though, there were 2 people in the back center. I didn't know one of them went for a bunker, and got shot out. The other two players don't talk enough, and I spoke to them about that after the game. So I hit the last player in the back center in the hopper, and the lone tape player on that team got hit soon after.

    We got the flag pull soon after, and I rained paint on the back center bunker (I thought someone was still in that bunker, because of the bad communication). With 30 seconds left in the game, the guy who pulled the flag saw all 3 players on the sideline, eliminated. He sprinted to the flag station, and we won, and got 100 points.

    The next three games were in the wooded feild, and we got maxed on all those, although we could have done better in at least two of them.

    I thought we did pretty good, for being the youngest team there, with no tourney experience. We actually tied for 14th out of 19.

    We had a lot of fun, and we are planning on doing other tournaments.

          The woods feild was Fury. I gave the info to the left tape guy, but he lost it. But we read it beforehand, and it had good tips. Just bad execution I guess.

              hey im sorry man.... sounds like you still had fun, but personally, stuff like that pisses me off.... first off, why did your friend carry a marker he doesnt know onto the field? Why werent they communicating, that really pisses me off when my team doesnt talk...

              I understand your players may be new to the tourny scene, but any recballer knows the secrets of communication... it also sounds like you all got a little tunel vision.... you all can correct these things... but it seems like your firends arent so willing.... oh well

              glad you had a good time..... and i hope you all do better next time

                Yeah, I was really mad after that first game. I told him he better know that thing inside and out before he plays with it next, recball or anything. I think he agreed with me, just beacuse he was pretty embarresed.

                I'm not sure if it was tunnel vision or what. That might be it. We need to play airball more for practice, thats for sure.
