Quality day all round I think.
Like I said yesterday, marshalling is something we all do from time to time, but I dont think any of us would jump at the chance! It was made a lot easier by the attitude of the teams and the professional manner shown by even the brand new squads. All in all it was a great tournament with few upsets, played at a fantastic venue, by people who love their game.
All the marshalls on field one are from a new team, "Basic". We have been training at TPC for 2 months or so now, and as such haven't been out and about much on the tourney scene. It was very cool to catch up with all the usual suspects and see some of the faces again.
Big shout to Tom and his boys on field two, very funny guys who made the day go quicker. Lots of love for the Archbishop of Pink, obviously. It was great fun to work with the man. Respect to Karl and his team at TPC also, for running the sort of place paintballers need. The treatment we received as marshalls was second to none.
Chris and Charlie, we were the team talking to you guys about training together. Get in touch with Rich or drop me a mail at

It was fantastic to be appreciated for the job we did yesterday, so a big thank you to all the teams. Best comment of the day had to be "If we can do all this when we are badly hungover, imagine what we could do if we were sober?"
You will see Basic on a tourney field near you soon, and on the podium soon after.
Thanks people.
Tony
