Any one here from Maine?

[AutoMaggot]

My team shot 10 cases... Maine Thunder who?

[Wheelman]

lol!

Naw, I think I'm gonna keep my Armson for now. I like it, it is frickin' loud and frickin' acurate

[Will Wood]

Yup!

That's why I want one! I had one for my 98...A stealth though...Brought it when it first came out. Best barrel IMO, (Aside from full freak)

10 cases sounds about right, I estimated 5, and we use half of what most players use.

We will most likely play June 23rd, and maybe the last one too. Hope to see you there.

[Wheelman]

I was suprised, I never thought an 8 inch barrel would be more acurate than a 12 or 14 inch barrel, mabye it's the rifling??

Hey guys! I'm from maine as well as the rest of Team Backdraft. We are playing in the MAC too and as of now are tied for 5th place with team FOG.
Automaggot...yes it was nice meeting you at the MAC, you guys did really well...kicked our A$$ in the first game, lol. But we did better as the day progressed. Congrats on your 1st place finish. We'll probably see you at the next Tourney in Standish.

The one field in Maine that I personally dont really like is the Dutchman...those people are the worst bunch of hicks you've ever seen, lol. A non MRPL team and can be fairly expensive.

Crossfire had a really nice speedball course, it kicked some serious A$$!

See all you guys around.

Oh, and props to Team Backdraft... it was fun meeting you guys after talking to you online!

Thanks man, you guys really ripped it up out there. We got off to a slow start but things started getting better after be beat Northern Xtreme. :)

We'll see ya at Rouge soon. Now that we have new Jerseys we can actually look decent. The refs made us take off our yellow jersey's becasue they looked too much like theirs. So we had to make do with the "sweatshirt" look.

See ya around,

Yeah, that was pretty bunk how you couldnt wear your threads :o ...

We got off to a slow start too... We have never played on a field like that ever. Kinda used to Sup Air and HyperBall, but it was a really fun course once we got into it.

Nice job beating Northern Extreme... they are certainly a good team, but their main fault is that they find their bunkers and just throw paint... you did an excellent job moving up and popping them off :)

Oh, BTW, did your player get his Shocker fixed? It looked as though he was having trouble with it in the last few games...

[XspyX]

Yea, the problem was he had a "pancake" in his hopper that was blocking all the paint from flowing. The paintball looked like a round disc and was totally flat. Couldn't believe it!

[AutoMaggot]

Cant say ive heard that one before...

Definatly Can't wait for the Next Mac Series event...The compition is killer. I thought it was fun Playing True colors. You guys totally wiped us out the first game, which was mildly humorous now that I look back at it. :) We progressed throughout the day and made a crappy start turn out to be a not so bad finish. I would say the game we beat Northern Extreme really made the difference in confidence. As Automaggot said, they just lay a ton of paint. I noticed that True Colors Lays their fair share of paint, but yet does it in a skillful manner.

AutoMaggot....Did you sell your Impy?

[Will Wood]

If we were to enter with only a case of paint each, think we could hold up? We are def. doing a Mini or two, but we 75% of the time get wasted by Chemical, and they placed 5th or 6th. I'm not sure, we might go and just watch on the 23rd and possibly join the next one after. We gotta get noticed and get a sponser....to freaking expensive to play with a part time job.

I don't know man, All together I think our Team shot Ruffly 10,000 rounds +/-1000. Our Front players Usally don't use jack for paint mainly becasue they just snap shoot and do short burst. It is I the mid player and the other two back players that shoot probally on average about a lot of paint a day.

That be me!!! Yea i only shot off about 800 rounds all day! Mainly because i'd run for the flag and then get bunkered. But it got us points so i guess it was worth it, right? With one case per person you could definately compete, you'll just have to watch your paint supply and play smart.

A lot of teams like Northern Xtreme just grab their bunker and just throw paint all game...Spray and Pray. It works for the most part, but we sure can't afford it.

[AutoMaggot]

Yeah, you guys definitely started kicking some ***... it was very entertaining to see the "Sweatshirt bandits" whoop Northern Xtreme LOL!

The key to playing with these rules, is actually forgetting about the flag. Its only worth 15 points... once we realized that, it became more important to pinch the other teams front player making the run off the break... once we were up on bodies, we could sweep the field in no time... its something to think about... especially if you have fast wings to hit the sidelines off the break to do some good ol' fashioned pinchin' :)

Pool your money and do "Team Paint." Just buy as many cases all the pooled money will allow, and everyone can dig in when they need it... this lets the back players use what they need, and the front players can only take what they need to do some bunkering... It evens it out so the back players dont have to spend a butt load of moola. But 5 - 7 cases should get you through a MAC tourny... just expect to be overshot by the other team... A LOT.

We gotta get noticed and get a sponser....

You wont get noticed at the MAC... their arent any sport-companies attending any of the events. We've all been playing for national teams with sponsorships, and we know the only real way to get sponsored by a paintball company (Dye, KAPP, SP, etc.), you need to play nationally or on a DAMN good regional team... GO FOR LOCAL SPONSORS! We hit up local companies looking to get THEIR names out, and we amounted about 1400 bucks... not bad for a bunch of kids
