Northern Quarter Newbie tournament
- Thread starter Markie C
- Start date
i'll put my name down for this now then, not really sure how much paint i'll use as it's the first tourny type event i'll be doing and my first time using an electro all day but i'm guessing a couple of boxes should do me fine and save having to lug any paint up on the way...
kit as long as nothing breaks/never starts working (touches wooden desk) i should be alright...
sorry but just to check would this event be suitable for people who haven't really played/played a single punter day as i know a few people who might be interested but i wouldn't want to drop them too far in the deep end and put them off...?

2 pots and 1 hopper per game max, so you won't end up using too much i wouldn't have thought.
should be about 3 - 4 boxes per team i reckon depending on how many games you play.
based on 6 team event (play each team once, 5 games)
4 boxes = 8000 balls
/ 140 = 56 pots
each team uses 9 pots per game MAX
56 / 9 = 6.4 games worth of paint.
so more than enough with 4 boxes (based on 5 games played)
thats if you use all the paint in each game too.
so i reckon 4 boxes between a team - with the excess used perhaps in the morning drills or saved for another day.
Costs £45 team entry + 4x£25 / 3 = £48.
PS to people looking to enter i think its a good idea to buy paint as a team as that is the fairest way to do it.

AFAIK - this 'tourny' is aimed at first-timers/tried it a couple of times.
For this to succeed, people who have played more than the odd time should really make this known to Markie from the start. That way you don't get a team of 'so-called' newbies ripping everyone else apart and walking away with any prizes/ego-boosts etc.
I only say this - because this has happened in KoTH before now (and no doubt, at other events).
Please don't spoil something that could be start of something wonderful - just because you like punter-hunting.
Apologies if I am speaking out of turn - but I am a firm believer (no pun intended) in this sort of event. One where everyone gets a chance shine.

damn there goes my ringer team "Team Love-to-own"
funny, when firm kidz first got off the ground we got largely berated for winning the masters div 4 and 3, yet we literally had only played one S2K6 event together 3 months prior, and ploughed all the effort into training. so technically we were noobs (to events) but not to playing paintball
