Rich Harris for president
Ok, I know Rich has help too so big up to you guys to but all in all the BOP event was, well, bloody awesome!!
Funny thing with this event is timing. All I've heard about UK paintball of late is that its in a very violent nosedive...well there was absolutely zero evidence of that this weekend, in fact, from what I saw was pretty much the start of a new era. This event has been put on at a loss. Fact. Most organizers from 'the good old days' would have left it on the drawing board if their pockets weren't heavily lined, whereas the BOP guys have decided that the plan needs to be slightly longer term than 'next weekend'. The organization was amazing, the attitude of everyone was amazing, the standard of play kinda surprised me to be honest (although I haven't played competitively for 4 years) and was very good indeed with loads of potential. When we were last in it, the UK up and coming teams were crap with a handful of hopefuls which meant the actual teams didn't go anywhere and fizzled out but this weekend there actual 'teams' there doing some good things, kicking ass and being aggressive so hats off to all those guys who've made it happen.
I do have a HUGE problem though, this event has given me the bug again so I think there may be more GFH appearances at a field near you...soon I hope.
Thanks again to all who chatted, play awesome and kicked our asses, it"ll be sweet to see if this level of passion for the sport can carry on.
Actually, I've also gotta add a HUGE thanks to the rest of the Legacy boys for letting us do our thing really. Considering the whole team hadn't real done much of late or are still soaking up the knowledge we really managed to dish out some poison and if we'd have been a proper team, as in a team that had played together more and knew our game plan as a team, we'd have definitely been rocking the semis up.
I had an awesome time, as did my partner in crime Mr. Latham esq.
