TIP:
Don't go telling stories about what a hero you were just now. If you do something really cool, everyone else will be talking about it.
TIP:
Get yer own tools.
TIP:
Aim.
TIP:
Get over how so-and-so sucks. Everyone is always talking about how somebody sucks, and 99% of the time, the person bagging on another player sucks. See, it's insidious, you guys have got me doing it.
TIP:
Don't tilt your hopper out so much. Almost every new player does that.
TIP:
Bring some flip-flops for when you are done playing.
TIP:
A beer bottle will pour into a pod just fine.
TIP:
Energy drinks don't make you better- they make you feel like you are better, maybe.
TIP:
Get paid for anything your teammates owe you before the tournament.
TIP:
Wet-naps are great for cleaning goggle lenses. The best part is they are free at Kentucky Fried Chicken. Just remember not to eat that greasy stuff they sell there.
TIP:
There is no legitimate reason to tie a bandanna to your pack. Resist the temptation.
TIP:
Don't gunfight. Shoot at something else. At best, you only have a 50-50 chance of coming out on top. You will know when the time has come to lay this rule aside, and it ain't yet.
TIP:
Keep your eyes on the field while you reload. Better yet, learn to reload while you shoot.
TIP:
Don't bring so much crap in your gear bag.
TIP:
Don't tell people too many things at once- it just confuses them. They only remember the part they wanted to hear.
TIP:
Plan on paying for it for a while. You aren't getting sponsored any time soon. That said, make lots of friends, and you will get stuff cheaper.
TIP:
Eat a light breakfast. No one likes pooping at a paintball field.
TIP:
Drink lots of water. No one likes being dehydrated at a paintball field. And you don't want to get resusitated by a paintball player- stubble. Eww.
