??

I see no talk of Escarmouche, in my opinion and this is not because I play for them, honest, they are a very good team, but they don't get the chance to perform on a regular basis due to location....just my 10p worth.

Top 5


Banzai
Shockwave
Kellys
JCS
K2 (if they got their arses in gear)

Howdy Sid!!

This is what we need bro, input form all over the place. the teams listed are the usual suspects (for obvious reasons) but there are teams out there that people forget about, not because they aint no good but because they never really show their faces. You boys rock Sid, I saw some of your games at mayhem and you look a lot tighter than you did last year, the Dye gear looks awesome. You am or nov??

Jimbo: Course I aint saying you got no style, you have, it was just a general comment on a lot of UK teams at the moment. They don't seem to concentrate on the bare elements of the game and although winning the odd tourney, lack in technical ability then when it comes to the crunch they have nothing else to bring to the table and get whupped good. You boys got style and a top aggressive game, don't forget to concentrate on the basic skills too like playing tight, snap shooting and composing yourself because when you take all those key bunkers you still need to be able to pull off all this trickery otherwise you'll get smashed. Boooom!!

Oh yeah, Sid, I don't think we're in the top 5 (yet) but cheers bro.

I forgot Redz - making it happen for sure!!!

There are some good teams out there - now we need some great ones!!!

I think Nick is right too - the top end of northern paintball is, on average, higher than the south. The south has Rushers, Tigers, Shock, Backlash (OK Outcast Chip) and Raven & Campaign (both improving)

The north has Banzais, Kellys, K2, JCS Imperial, Chameleons, Killer Clowns, Redz (north??), Nitro, Viper, Tremmor and a few others besides.

Would it be great if we got the best out of these teams and tried putting a team together? Hey X-Ball!!!!!

Seriously we need to get a UK championship - say in October after the Millenniums have finished - where we can all get together, at the same time, and duke it out!!!! Brit ball only - no jonny foreigners!!!

Hmmmm??

Mark

We are a southern team but did northern tourny for the reasons given earlier by Nick T, oh yeah.... and we gotta welsh bloke

 

[Mark Toye-Nexus]

Fair enough Bud

I wasnt sure but it helped my point and as the only times we've played you really is up there - it kinda fitted!!

But as you have a welshman in your side it kinda puts you in a whole category on your own!!!

The point still kinda stands though - you are a side that plays up north alot - not down south - like the rest of the teams I mentioned!!

Lets see how we all go in Toulouse - its going to be tough but we're looking on improving on our 5th Am in amsterdam where we were top UK am.

Jamie - we are Amateur. We play Pro in the UK for the reasons we have all talked about above - we wont hide in lower divisions - we want to play the top teams so that our game gets better.

A lesson alot of teams should learn - you hear way too much whinging by teams down at Temple when they are put in division C instead of D etc!! If some played in division A they would learn more in one day than ten days in the lower divisions!!!

S'what I think anyhow!!

As for the tourney scene, well I said earlier we need a higher profile local series. if the promoters get their heads together surely between them we could have a class set of higher profile events. I know this aint for all teams but like Mr. T said it'd be real cool to have a good size championship series of around 3 or 4 tourneys for the pedigree teams, or anyone who wants to enter for that matter, that is a great well run set of events with good fields and good facilites. If we can't help ourselves then no-one else is gonna do it for us. Think about it.
Simply the best at Elsham was awesome and the Diablo cup ripped too, events of that calibre, perhaps maybe with a bit more clout and slicker venues. This would get us all together to see who's doin the biz and how, **** we may even realise how good we actually are.

I seem to remember making a series of threads before christmas about an all sup air league, and quite frankly the response I got was crap!
If interested they were posted under Paul(FusionUK).
This could really work! it would take a lot of work and organisation, everyone would need to pull together and show support, not just wait for it to happen!
As suggested in an earlier thread marshalls of fields would be responsible for putting up and putting down fields etc, its the only way the UK will ever get an all sup air league/championship purely cos of the costs involved for organisers!

Your definately right Mark ... I think Thunder played in the upper division against Tigers, Imperial you guys etc at Temple a few weeks ago .... as far as I recall they learnt a hell of a lot.

They certainly didnt did themselves proud as far as I was concerned.

A big series is probably what is wanted here.

The teams that do the Millenniums do so at a huge expense to themselves;

£120 flight
£120 hotel
£50 Cars
£90 entry
£100+ paint

+ + +£££££

Thats £500 a time

So experience/playing at home becomes something that requires serious thought.

Getting all the best teams together on a regular basis is going to be impossible.

A big, but reasonably priced tourney over here with full PGI coverage etc which everyone attends would be the thing to go for

The UK championships/British Open whatever

A quality tournament for homegrown teams
