Clemson Paintball takes 3rd at NCPA Event

[demonguy8]

the problem with the fall MICT @ purdue wasnt that the cold... its the fact that it was so disorganized, that we spent 14 hours standing in it.. captians meeting 2 hours late.. a 3 hour lunchbreak.. and they took another 2 hours to remake the field for finals...

That combined with the fact that absolutly no sunlight exists in purdue (it was basically as dark at midnight as it was at noon) <------ ok mild over exxageration but seriously it was weird.

and while were on the topic of lights.....



EDIT: whos ALL GOING TO SPRING MICT!!?!?!?!? and YOUD ALLL BETTER BE AT NATIONALS!!!!!!!!!

2 hours plus 2 hours plus 3 hours... 7 hours of not playing paintball? I think you may be exagerating slightly.

I admit there probably IS some exageration there but 14 hours for 25 teams on 3 fields is PATHETIC...

[raehl]

Well...

Considering we were all over at the post-tournament festivities at 9 PM, 14 hours is probably a bit of an exageration as well.

25 teams in 3 brackets is 2 8 team brackets and 1 9 team bracket. That's 92 games, or a wee bit over 6 hours on three fields. Semi-finals and finals are a wee bit more than an hour each, plus throwing in a break for lunch and that's 10 hours right there - from the first game until the last. Throwing in completely rebuilding a field for finals, getting done by 7 ain't a bad deal.

Not perfect, but not bad.

ok the captains meeting for the MICT festivities was SCHEDULED at 6:30AM

Anyone who knows anything about tournaments knows that your need to be there at least half an hour earlier to walk the fields (or rewalk for those that came the night before) and to get your gear set, paint bought, entry paid, and tanks filled, and guns chronoed. soo basically a you need to be there at the time of 6AM... the party started at 9pm correct? we had just over 1 hours worth of time between the end of finals and when the players party started (which i only remember cuz we got to sit in the bar waiting for hour after we got there). which means that finals ended at roughly 730 with roughly 15 minutes to pack up you get 7:45 PM.

6AM - 7:45 PM = 13hour 45 minute difference in time..NO not quite the 14hours but darn close (and still pathetic).. on that note im done debating here..

Congrats to EZ and the rest of clemson, sorry for cluttering your thread.. And to all to all the college team guys reading this.. see you at Nationals.

That would have worked, if anyone had been there at 6:30. Sometimes teams vote one when they want to do things by when they show up no matter when you set the schedule.

Games started when the teams had their stuff together to start. They ended a wee bit over 10 hours later, which is about right for 25 teams in three brackets with semis and finals and a field rebuilding.

I'm all for constructive criticism of events, but lets tell it like it is - there's no way there was a 3 hour lunch and 2 hours of building the field for finals when the when all the games ran in 10 hours.

congrats to the guys from clemson for doing so well.

and all you guys complaining about the weather, blackcell played in a skirmish tourney when it was 15* out and about 19 inches of snow on the ground.

[alkafluence]

Let's all agree to disagree, and "give it up" for playing this awesome sport in less than ideal weather

Congrats on the great finish Clemson guys...

Hey Chris or ezrunner, any chance you could post the final results here?

Thanks!
