    Team AO at the 2002 LA Open?

    I wanted to know if any AO'ers in the Southern California area are interested in forming a 5-man team (or even a 10 man team depending on response) for the 2002 LA Open..i know this is way in advance but i'm just gauging response..i'm down in San Diego but i'm willing to drive as far as SC Village to practice...

    I live in LA as you can see and I wanted to play in that tourney. It would be my first. I am 20 years old. Perfect timing on getting this posted. If you want a team by then.
    Oh Yeah:Count me in!
    e-mail me for info or post it here.
    Team AO will prevail!

    I had planned on going there to the trade show but heck If I get a chance to play in it SWEET.

      Count me in, assuming i'm not playing with any other team which it doesn't look like i will be with anyone else. I live in Orange County, play every sunday at Tombstone or SC (I'd prefer to practice at tombstone, its cheaper...). So whenever you guys wanna get something together, let me know, and we can start getting together practices and such.

      As for some stats:

      I'm 16, 5'6, play front corners (its nice cause i'm short lol, i can flank up a side without being noticed much). Been playing for 6 years, 2 1/2 tourni play years (since i moved to CA). Currently shoot a centerflag gen x chaos series cocker, i'd prefer to use that but if we're all going to be using mags, I can put one of mine together in no time

      If we're going to be playing for real and paying the high entry fee, and tourni paint prices, and the whole gig, I'd prefer to be with people with experience. Especially since we'd be representing AO.. I dont mind playing with newbies, but at something like LA Open we'd get worked like no other...

        Well..i can honestly say i don't have any tourney experience and if that puts me into the role of backup it's all good to me..i'd rather have people shoot mags..but it's personal opinion i guess...and as for myself...i'm 24, 6'3" and i play back..(because i'm too darn tall to play anything else)..i've been playing paintball on and off for about 7 years (back in the day when the mag ruled the cocker)..i live down in San Diego but i can travel to Tombstone or SC..it's all good to me..and i don't think we'll get worked all that bad...BC spanked the Ironmen with Spyders...i'm sure we can win a few games with mags....

          I am 20 years old 6'2" 225. Ex wrestling team captain. I can push hard. I have played paintball since I was in middle school. approx.5 years. Never played a tourny. I don't know where tombstone is???? i have weekends off from work. I would take days off If I need too. I play the tape alot usually back. Latley I have been experimenting with forward positions. I play with a retro valve, power fed mag. Here it is.How much do you think the tourney will cost?

            That's a possibility. It pretty much depends on when the tourny is.

                      5man doesn't have the uber-spankage factor that 10man does. entry last year was $500, byop , that could change......

                        exactly why i chose five man instead of ten man...yeah..we may get whooped on..but you never know...some of us may have our NPPL coming out party..it may seem a little Cinderella..but at least we'll be furthering the cause of AGD through the loss of our own pride...plus we'll get Team AO in the NPPL Standings...we could have a roving team for each tourney all playing under the banner of Team AO...

                          I think it would be good just for fun... play hard, but don't worry about winning.

                          If we could organize a good team... wouldn't that be something?

                              exactly what i hoped we would be there to do...have fun..not get bunkered and show people what the AO is all about...we may not win the tourney..but we'll all be good sportsmen and maybe raise some eyebrows...
