Teams did leave. PLayers were getting angry, but some teams changed their names and wore different jersey's to hide themselves. AGD wore their jersey's, so they were easily seen. Believe me, if I knew it was going to be stacked with teams like this, I would've demanded a refund. It was too late, and I doubt they would've given a refund anyways.

Well you pay the money and you decide to play and you dont do so well dont just blame everything on "teams being stacked".... Could it just be that the teams that did play didnt' put any time or perperation before the tournament? I mean I meet all these kids on teams that never practice and they just play tournaments expecting wins to just come their way. But honestly it doesnt work that way. Like was said, you only get better playing teams that are better then you.

Wow. Whats the matter? cant just accept that what they did was somewhat wrong?

A lot of the teams at this tournament were very dedicated, I saw almost every team walking the field and checking positions and noting specific moves and paths, and i talked to a LOT of the rookie teams about there pracice schedule. For instance I met some members from Team Unreal, three 16 year olds from michigan who have had 15+ seperate team practices, coming all the way down here to play their first tournament.

And if you can only get better by playing better teams then wtf was AGD kids doing playing a bunch of rookies?

And whats even funnier, is that AGD kids Beat Social D (the team that had been in a pro tourney)

Do you play tournament ball, honestly? ARe you rich? Does your mom buy your equipment? When you're a broke college student, you don't pay a 225$ entry fee and 75 bucks a case to play better teams. That's what practice is for. I didn't 'expect' to win, but I went in thinking it was going to be a FAIR tournament. I was way off. Of course I prepared for the tournament. I'm not blaming our loss solely on stacked teams. But when a team blatantly sandbags a tournament, is allowed to by the owner of the field, it pushes my buttons even more. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way, "as was said before." Cult followers....

Well first of all I am 20, I am a Junior in college right now. I am independant and get grants from the government for school. I work 30-40 hours a week. I live in a nice place, I drive a nice car and I feel rich, but am I ? Not at all, I have plenty of debt. I am a broke college student. I have been in tournaments where there was no competition, and I have been in tournaments where there were simply teams that were better then we were. You can never go into a tournament expecting to have a Fair chance of winning... How can you judge how good a team is? Yeah and we dont have to bring my mom into it... I havnt spoken with her in 3 years. I dont see how getting personal with me is going to help your point of view. I have been in your shoes and know exactly what you are talking about I just dont have as much of a problem with it as some other people do.

Its a sad thing to say that this doesnt suprise me in the slightest, whenever theres a semi decent prize package to be won, sandbagging will be prevalent in this sport. Such a shame. But anywho:

NPPL Rulebook

"9.05 Any player is allowed to play on a pro team. Only two pro players are allowed on an Amateur team. Only two Amateur players are allowed on a novice team. No players from any other class are allowed on a Rookie team."

CCP (like most Tournies , uses modified NPPL format) Kids stated themselves to be am Team, and indeed won SKYBALL AT THAT LEVEL. Once you step up,YOU ARE AN AM TEAM no ways around that. Read the above rule one more time.. You guys had 3 not 2. Shame both you guys and the owner for that one.

Now adding to this lovely fact, this was a local tournament.NPPL and LOCAL classifications DO NOT MATCH Around these parts a LOCAL am team is roughly equivalent to rookie/MAYBE novice level NPPL team. Since this WAS a local tournament, this means that the kids where very much likely to be playing as much as 3 divisions above their status. Never dropped a game you say?

So umm yeah good job I guess you really showed those recballers a thing or two. Enjoy your shockers... you sure earned em

Well first off I was not there. But the Kids entered as the AGD Kids, they had their AGD stuff on, they didn't try to hide who they were (I don't think Chet could hide if he wanted to). It was Country Club's tourny to run so if they had problems with them "sand bagging" they could have told the Kids so when they signed up.

Now if the Kids showed up wearing jeans and shirts, shooting rental guns, and calling themselves "Super Xtreme Sniper Killas" or some other stupid made up name, then ppl could complain. As it is, it was CC paintballs call to let them play so I can't see how the Kids could be to blame.

forgot to post link to pics

The Kids PSP classification is Novice.

Skyball and IAO have no effect on your teams level even if you play in the Am or Pro division.

Also, the Kids were playing rookie last year.

If you have a problem with the novice Kids playing at this novice tournament bring it up with CC.
