Any one ever been to the Skirmish USA 5-man winter tourney?
How was it, what's it like? Will my 68 powerfeed be ok for amatuer class play?

I actually haven't been to Skirmish yet, but I know what you're talking about. Its kinda of a road trip to get there from Ny(being its in Pennsylvania). But anyway, I'm looking forward to going there soon. I'm guessing you'll be a little outgunned with your 68 Powerfeed, but its the player who makes the gun, not vice versa. Jon, what other fields do you play at in Ny or Nj?

i just joined an amateur team. this will be our first tourney. I've played at high velocity and PBLI though.

cool thanks! Will there still be walk on games being played at the other fields at skirmish? or will it be tourney only?

Yeah I played in a 5-man tourney at skirmish in November. It was my first one and it was a lot of fun. I meet Rooster, he plays on paintball junkies pro team. He was a ref and was so cool to talk to. Plus you meet a lot of awsome people. A little advise make sure to watch the other teams that you'll be playin against, to try to figure out there stratagies. Thats one thing that I didn't do Probably would have helped us place alittle higher in the standings. We placed like 5th over all, not complaining cause it was our first tourney. I shoot a 68 powerfeed and it performed great for me. Got a couple of kills on guys with angels and cockers. Just go out there and have fun time.
They will still have rec play, they did when I was there. Once you were done you were aloud to go and play rec if you wanted.
Hey udt if your going to go up would you mind if I taged along I had a lot of fun last time.

Hmm.. I'm up for a trip to watch a tourny, cant afford it, but watching and taking pics is free.

Count me in, probably Riotz too.

By the way.. there is a bar not 5 minutes from Skirmish

[jobo_18]

thanks for the bar thing but i'm the oldest player on our team. I just turned 19 on sat, everyone else is 15. so while the bar'd be great we're not legal. I'm sure we'll have fun though.

Hmm.. John and Jeff are 21, I believe? I'll be 22, and spacemanspiff is what, 23?

Me and MagDog68 stopped there on a break from playing at the 48 hour game

[spacemanspiff]

Hey Thordic nice idea. If it gets to cold we can hop across the street and warm up a bit I'm up to go and take some pics even play alittle rec ball if anyone is interested.

I might get lost!

I will be there!!! I dont know how to get there from south jersey though, so this should be interesting! lol

[spacemanspiff]

Hey udt. Would you want to car pool? I know how to get to skirmish from here. Basically I take 78 to 22 toward PA. Take 22 to the pen turnpike. Then you talk the first exit after that I just recognize where to go. The directions they give you on the site kinda take you outta the way. Not by much but my way saves like 20min.

[udtseal]

I'd love to car pool! But, i dont know where north planefield is. Im in south jersey, like, south south jersey. Its an hour and 10 minute drive NORTH for me to get to Top Gun. Would a car pool still make sense?

[spacemanspiff]

Well you gotta go north to hit PA anyway duh If you were to head toward Top Gun on the turnpike but keep goin till exit 10. It puts you on 287 and then its like a 20min drive to my house. From there we'll hit 78 to head toward PA. I think its like an 1 1/2 to 2hour drive to Skirmish from my house. If you want you could drive to here and I could drive to there. It would save one person from driving all that way in one day. Let me know what you think.
