Damn, Emerson, that's a lot o' questions for one thread.
The Road to Aruba tourneys would be great for you guys, it's three-man, and you'll be playin' the local tourney guys. You may have a couple come from a bit of a distance, but you'll not be playing pro's or anything. As far as Seraph's advice of grabbing good players instead of pals, that's later, grab the fella's you can, and get a little experience, you'll be cutting your pals soon enough though. Back before Avalanche was Avalanche, a good freind of mine was told by Ed Poorman,"There are no friends in paintball. If you really want to win, grab the best players you can find." That story was for you too Seraph.
Anyway Emerson, my point is just have fun while you can, you'll be hating the politics soon enough.
Yes, you can smash people with your Spyder. My team went to a tourney without me about five years ago and met up with a team called, "Five Neat Guys," in prelims. FNG's were all outfitted with Spyders, and cammies, well they crushed my guys, cut right through 'em. They were comfortable with their equipment, and had a good attitude. My team is most definitely not a pushover team either, granted, I wasn't there. Don't worry, Bud, you just got to get out there, you'll quickly find just how close you are to a lot of these guy's skill level.
Some people can be trained, and some just suck, give your guys a chance though. If they've only played a couple times, they surely could use some more experience.
Extra tip, go get a cheap compressed air system so you'll avoid hot gun penalties. I'm positive I'm not the only one on this forum to have missed finals because of stupid hot gun penalties.
I'm going to bed, hope all the crap I just put down helped in some way. I tried to avoid rambling, it's very difficult for me. Good night kids!
