How Would YOU Like to Play on a Pro Team with Manny???

[cledford]

I'd love to play!

AGD,

I'd love to play - got all the gear, including an Emag, ready to go! Also just passed the 3 year mark for my company, so I'm now up to 3 weeks off a year.

I'll make a deal - I'll pay the travel costs!

Tom,

I think you should just run our soon to become team.


Half of the guys on the team already worship you. We all shoot Mags. All use warps. What else could you want? =]


We will do your bidding... "baa, baa"
Tom, will you be our pied piper?

Seriously though. hehe

[skipdogg]

How many times have you heard "it's the player not the gun"

exactically!!!!!! we would be dead last cause we suck as tourney players

its not the GUN!!!!! AGD has nothing to lose and everything to gain. AGD is represented at ALL major tournies. People can still see product. AND when everyone realizes Tom is willing to put his CUSTOMERS on a team it makes him even cooler. Who else is putting their CUSTOMERS out there???? NO ONE!!!!

There's no bigger reason for someone to buy a mag..... just because of Tom's undying support to CUSTOMERS.


Tom - how's that go again????? "IT's THE PLAYER NOT THE GUN"!!!!!!!!

Guys I have alot of tourney experience and alot of great finishes. SOme of you are saying win or lose you'll love to play. It wont work that way.

If you lose in a PRO class especially not being a pro you will loss hard. As in a 3-4 man sweep with them bunkering half your team. Chris Lasoya shooting 13bps with a case of paint on his back ready to take your head off as a newbie comes over the top of a base.

I have played against Lockout b4 and amatuer team Sonic Rage. These teams are tuff and way to smart to be messed with. Not trying to sound like i'm afraid b/c thats not even the case. My problem with this is, if your going to enter an AO team in PRO they HAVE to be a real PRO team.

I would love to play in NPPL events as an AO team, but it's alot of money and i would not waste it if i didnt know we had a chance to do well. I've played paintball for 4 years had an amazing amount of fun. Winning tournies is my game. Most will disagree with me and say i'm the wrong kinda tourney player and whatnot. You go and spend alot of money on equiptment and paint and everything then get your butts handed to you.

I doubt Tom is thinking of creating a team and then having them go into tournaments without practice.

?

Tom, what knid of question is that? Ofcourse I would love to play pro! Sign me up. Unless this is another joke of yours. You have been messing with us too much lately. Where do I sign?

Practice is nothing when compared to many pro teams. These teams have been together for years and know each other and know the game better then any. EXPERIENCE means way more then a little practice. Knowing what to do when comes with alot of time. Not something you'll learn in a few months. I hate to be the negative one here but i know and have seen these things happen.

Shartley........

Every word in that statement is 100 percent correct. Thanks for helping me and many other people who understand tourny play.

Sometimes life is not so serious. Paintball is a game. And i do it to have fun. So does a lot of ballers. Maybe my idea of fun is being corn-holed by a pro. Also, spyders are not in the same league as most mags... otherwise PGP's could go against E-mags. Im not saying Pro is a good idea, but Am or Novice would work.
And what's wrong with someone giving their customers a chance at something?
Why not call the team AGD Customers, so that people know what the deal is. A lot of things in paintball are rediculous. Like so and so shoots a whatever, so i must get a whatever. Just like someone else said, i dont buy Nike's cause i think they turn me into Jordan!!!
Paintball is a G-A-M-E. Look at the Carolina Panthers. They went 1-15.. is that an insult to other Football teams? Should no other teams play them again cause they suck so bad?
whatever.... i just think it's a unique concept that no one else in paintball would even think of, except for Tom

I think it is a good idea. I think to start a good team is to have people that never realy played in pro games and have a pro player teach the team the right way to play and win. I think if you have a bunch of pros they just want to do things their way. It is always better to form a good team with raw guys that are willing to listen and learn. I would be proud to be a team like that and have the chance to represent AGD and Automags.org

[Riotz]

Isn't this what Team Maxim did or am I mistaken?

[marc]

sounds like a good idea, but Im not a profesional wiper (I never wipe) so I would suck. Second I do want to eventually play in the nppl, but if I played pro on your team that means the only division I could ever play is Pro correct? Because if I am right than I think it would be great and fun, but since I would like to think that I have a little future in paintball I would have to not join. Of course if you begged me I would consider it.

I like the idea, but I am not sure what the image of losing big at the Pro level would do to AGD's image. Shartley explained it best when he said that the pro teams work really hard to get where their at and not to come to some big tournament to play a team just put together. Maybe try it out first out the lower levels like suggested by others since you do not know what kind of players you are getting when its a contest over the 'net. A suggestion for a team I have is to see an AO Team of all the moderators here. That be fun and entertaining if it was to happen. If you do decide to do the contest though, count me in for the drawing. It be fun to have a chance to win to play for a team like that. Overall though, if the contest happens, it will be fun for anyone who is selected, win or lose.

I'd play! Sign me up! I'd be all like "BEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! I WIN NOW! BEWWWWWWWWWWWW!" and it would be soooooooo boss! !

ENDO!
