Despite the brilliant job Monsieur Big did (and yes, my nose has always been that color) I'm sure there were lots of great games and killer moves and just plain funny stuff that happened that we'll never hear about unless you post it. So c'mon! This could be the ultimate paintball event report.
One rule however, no stories about yourself or your team.

Not much of a story, however...

While reffing a game on field 1 (Draxxus) between Aftershock & somebody (sorry can't remember too busy reffing) I spent the game making sure the back players behaved, I was given a very good example of how to keep your head in the game - thanks to Todd Adamson.

Todd breaks out to the center back dorito and promptly proceeds to break his hopper off the at the top of the neck - right under the eye. After seeing what he had done, he then proceeds to keep the communication going for his team and attempts to keep his marker full by hand feeding it. This goes on for a few minutes then he decides on another tactic - holding the broken loader on top of the feed tube so the balls can more or less feed properly.

I know it may not seem like much - but watching someone keep his head, and be valuable to his team (communication & some paint) - for about 7 minutes while holding a hopper in his left hand, was very impressive - and a little funny when he would have to pull back into cover, this usually sent a stream of balls out of the hopper straight down.

Bad Company vs. Russian Legion on the JT field... BC's front guy breaks out to the massive JT tower on the 50, snapping his barrel off his marker somewhere along the way. Didn't bother him though, he picks it up, squeegies it and holds it back on the front of his spyder. The guy stayed in the game until the very end... it was soooo funny seeing him take his barrel off to pot up and then lay a shedload of paint at RL. The way this guy kept his head was legendary

Funny or what??

On the JT field Robbo tried to move from the back centre bunker only to bump straight into one of his team mates who was making his way off the field after being eliminated.

It really was comical to see the collision and to see the other player just bounce off Robbo.

Backlash won the game, but I wonder if Robbo would have had something to say had the game been lost.

second day on angel field, some UK teasm playing against some other, after the break off, the big fat guy tried to run to its primary bunker on the far back left, he fells, starts to slide and kicks the photgrapher guy which made him fall off too, that was the funniest thing I have ever seen in a paintball field.

another thing that was not so funny has happened to me during our second match in day 1 on field two in the stadium against Bad Company. After break off, I was rushing to my bunker which was the big one far back left which controls the tape line opposite of the snake side. Thanks to my sillyness, I forgot to bring my soccer shoes and it was 07:30 in th morning I just slipped and fell down with a Kung - Fu figure which made me break my hopper.

trying to collect my hopper and put it on my angel, I was shooting with my right hand and gun pressed up against my stomach and with the other trying to hold my hopper up. I managed to shoot 6 feed tubes and stayed alive as the last man standing. (we lost it!!!)

Anyway, after some games, I was watching Aftershock playing against Bob Longs I think on Tomahawk field I saw the aftershock back guy was having the same problem. Instead of choosing my way, he threw his hopper away, he held the gun with his right on his shoulder and tries to feed it directly with his feed tubes.

the conclusion was that he managed to shoot more properly than I did but shot around two-three feed tubes meaning that the team was missing suppresive shooting of a back player...

the question is; which one of the system was more helpful to his team? I am still not sure which, what you guys thinkin?

Mad props to the yanks for bringing home the cheese.
