Great Friends

Just for the record

Worms had a great tourney lets see the move to the pro division when they feel able in 7 man and when they feel they are ready
If they place at a millenium or another tourny of that standing then we may expect them to move up
Remember they really only played 3 teams of any standing over the whole tournament
Joy were a few players short of there usual standard and partied really hard over the whole weekend and my thanks to them all for such an enJOYable time-RESPECT:D

Ton Ton had a capable squad but again were never in bed before 5-00 am

And well shockwave with only 4 of the regular team due to me being a sicknote for the second day rostered Nick Truter from Rushers who played well all weekend
Thanks Nick

We had a great hotel in the centre of Warsaw which was 5 star and fantastic

Joy had no American players the plan was to almalgamate 4 shock, 4 JOY and 4 GZ but due to a mad tyrant the US were not able to come

Next Year

Congrats to Shockwave. They won a nice Yellow motor bike to match their playing tops.

Hope you are feeling better Giles. Did Mattey get through passport control with his modified passport ?

Here are my recollections of the tourney, my first on mainland Europe.

Teams from around Europe (Latvia, France, UK, Sweden, Ukraine, Poland to name a few) attended the tournament held in the Wat (pronounced Vat )military stadium, next to the Military base (we had quite a few very young looking soldiers watching us and occasional explosions!). The stadium was probably a thousand seater or so, not on the scale of Crystal Palace but good enough. There were 4 sup air ball fields laid out in the centre of the cinder running track, surrounded by netting and towers as at Crystal Palace. All the fields were different, not as good as the Campaign fields, in terms of use of non standard obstacles but interesting enough. Including such features as a snake parallel to the flag baess, a Diablo devil running lengthways and a field with stand-ups in the middle and small rockets for the back players.

4500 air was supplied (alarmingly quick), food and drink stands, some trade stands, including WDP, Diablo (thanks for the free t shirts!), a covered players area with named tables, chrony station next to the players area. Only let down was you had to walk all the way around the perimeter of the playing fields to get on them due to the netting. Next time can we have the door next to the players tent ?

Marshalling was great and humorous, supplied amongst others by Silent Kebab and the Ugly Ducklings I believe. No cheating was experienced by my team.

The tournament was filmed by local tv (the camera man WAS John Cleese), had a section of prizes including a motor bike, a scooter, mountain bike, tshirts and army boots ? Not sure about the boots!

As for Hotels, we stayed in the Sofitel Vitoria. Very nice, has a swimming pool, nice bars and restaurants and in the evenings a selection of young ladies…

Night life is interesting to say the least. Eastern European women are very attractive.

What’s Warsaw like ? Very friendly people, wide wide roads – 8 lanes with a tram track or grass in the middle and VERY ugly gray concrete buildings, with ultra modern glass buildings and a few old buildings dotted around. A mixture of old soviet drabness and modern European buildings. Lots of moustaches, more trams. Interesting to see and I’m sure in the next few years will become a typical European Capital.


As for my team, I played for the UK team Katz. We entered as Novice, won 7 of our 8 games and ended up 6th overall on the first day. Highlights include beating The Ton Tons.
Due to our high score on the first day we ended up in the pro division and lost all of our 4 games against ShockWave, Joy Division etc ! A most interesting learning experience.
Of course, if the US teams had been able to come over we would probably not have been in the Pro Division.

Katz would also like to thank Russell Steel for the Cosha meals flying to and from Warsaw, the cold turkey and dry crackers were particularly bad.

In conclusion, for Katz it was 4 days of paintball, beer, laughter, ladies, more beer, more ladies and paintball talk all set in an Eastern European country. What a great time!
