my couple of pence..

I was on here last couple of weeks begging teams to let me play.. I have no chance to leave the country cas the wife won't let me:confused: and its my first year on the property ladder.. so I am skint.. but.. our team did not play the 2 day HG event so I had all this spare cash to float around...

now I felt the 5 man was value for money so wanted to play for a 5 man team.. However it turns out I was blessed to play for Militent Order and if anyway watch us play against Outrage on Saturday you know we where not there to play for just our best and win :)

For me paintballing is about fun, playing for the experience.. Now I don't mean play without the competitive nature..We played our hearts out but thats not good enough sometimes when the team just doesn't click and your playing some of the best teams both leagues had to offer..Freestyle, Outrage, Echo, Xtreme Paintball to name some of the teams we played..

At the end of the day Campaign is a big UK event and I think everyone should come down and experience it.. if you can't afford it thats fine.. but I spent alot of money to lose 8 games but I've not lost the love of paintball, I think I've gain my respect of paintball and rather than retire at the end of this year I would def like to return to Campaign at whatever capacity I can...I intend to save the money from now so I can afford to go again and from there make an european presense as well.. see rather than look at it to first play on overseas first, campaign has motivated me to save for an overseas event also.. with that in mind maybe, hopefully there will be more of a british presence over there..

This year I left Bristol at 2.30am Friday and was the very first person there at 5.30am.. I intend to do that again :):):)

Thanks for Militent Order for making my first Campaign an experience that will keep a smile on my face for days to come

So my point is...any team thinking about spending the money for more practice sessions - as a relative newbie, tournaments are the best practice you'll get!

Sorry mate buts thats nonsense

The best practice you'll get as a relative newbie is drilling technique in, time and again until its second nature.

A big tournament is good for big tournament experience and you'll need it if you are serious about big tournament paintball.

But practice is practice and tournaments are tournaments, don't get them confused.

Yeah definitely...I probably should have been clearer. What i meant was, while practice is great for developing technique etc, playing full games against the same guys over and over isn't necessarily going to help your field awareness and definitely doesn't prepare you for what a real competitive game feels like.

I agree that drilling, especially as a newbie, takes up most of my paintball life, but what I learned on the field at CC (how to take a beating ;) etc) can't really be taught at practice as...and lets be honest...its just not the same :)

I'm not saying skimp on practice to go get beat at a tournament...just that whats the point of putting in all that practice if you're not going to test it out against the best teams around?

if you wanted to, for example, play a computer game tournament,say, best CS european team, but you had sit on a computer stool with a 10'' black dildo fckin you in the ass the whoe time, i think you'd just stick to your clan matches once a month.

Hmm.

Why black dildos? Did that make it worse than lets say white ones? :rolleyes:
