[DiRTyBuNNy]

i'm sure it's going to cost us..but you never know what could happen...hey..i'm not saying we're going to all become pros...but it's only up from here...

Man, I never thought I'd say this but I wish I lived In cali just so I could go to this event with you guys!

[Muzikman]

Dirtybunny,

You got mail...

[Bonx0007]

Dirtybunny, maybe you should be the team manager and take care of all that technical stuff. Then after we practice we can establish a feild captain.

[DiRTyBuNNy]

Team Manager sounds good to me, as long as nobody else wanted the job...

Personally I prefer to practice at Tombstone, but we can do SC if you want. I've never been to jungle, isn't it in San Diego? If we play jungle, I think i'd have to carpool with someone from orange county, i dunno how to get there, the area, and i dunno if my car would make it....

Tombstone we can get our own field, i know everyone there, they're all friendly and everything. we can run drills and do whatever we want.

I'll be at tombstone this Sunday if you guys want to go to meet up so we can get associated and everything, its the 'big game' where they combine all the fields, so it could just be a little play day to get associated and meet and maybe see peoples playing style slightly.

As for jerseys, i'm friends with the people at PJ (i work at pimpIT.com and we're having them make our jerseys), and i'm friends with Mondo at animal. If you guys really want jerseys, i'd say they would be the people to talk to, altho if i remember animal goes through PJ i'm not sure tho.

As for paint, personally i'm liking Point Blank. XS Sports has it, Beach city has it, and its pretty good paint and cheap ($27.95 if I remember through beachcity/skanline). I could probably get some discounts on it since I'm friends with everyone that works there, especially if you guys put in money and we bought like 5 or 10 cases.

As for contacts, email me at [email protected] and we can get this all situated. It looks like I'm pretty much the only one with tourney experience..... My only concern is that i know a lot of tourney teams dont like to move up in their division, even tho they should. I dont wanna be paying $100 for entry, $50 for a jersey, $100 on paint at the tourney, etc etc. just to get wooped.

As for talking to tom, if he doesn't read this post, what do u guys want to ask him? i can email him and see what he says, i'd think he would have read this post by now and possibly responded.

Well..since i've elected myself Team Manager, i've been contact by Muzikman, who's setting up the Team AO for Skyball 02, about combining forces when it comes to extra stuff..i.e. jerseys and the like..Tombstone is cool for me, i just need directions as i am coming up from San Diego, and the ability to work a couple of fields ourselves would be nice. I would like to get at least 10 people to do this so we can backups in case some people can't make it at the last moment, and have some people to practice with even if they don't want to play the tourney...

[Minimag4me]

i really dont have the money to play this year(tourny) but i can stop by a few practices and see how bad i suck and help prepare u guys.

[toymyster]

Looks like it's all coming together!!! If we are to play the NPPL, we will need lot's of practice!!! Last tourney I played was full of ringers!!! Let's keep in contact and come up with a schedule!! Also, we might want to do a couple of small tourneys to get everybody some experience before the big event!!!

[Bonx0007]

A lot of practice means more paintball. That makes me happy. I just have to get a good hook up for paint. Well as soon as this wheather gets a little better I say that we should get to practicing.By the way where is tombstone and does anyone have the address or directions?

[DiRTyBuNNy]

i was wondering the same thing about Tombstone...where the heck is it?

[Ninja B0Y]

You know, not to sound like a downer or anything, but these are NPPL playes we're talking about here. The ones who stich you up and add a smile along with it? These aren't casual rec-ballers that are playing, these guys take their game seriously- cursing, throwing fits, cheating. It happens and it will happen so I hope you know what you're getting into. Good luck man.
