Ok, I'll take a step back and say that it was all about selling stuff ... that's really the reason this all went on ... $$$

By the By, was paint free for teams playing in x-ball?

Robbo, It was Alex not Olli. I was there for that for sure.

It´s a great marketing strategy!!!

From what I´ve heard and it´s only what i´ve heard it makes 100% sence that the U.S. should win this tournament! I have to agree with Micah on this.

And let´s stop complaining about this or that, let´s see the business point of view. The U.S should win this tournament from the marketing point of view, Americans have a great pride in their nation and in every thing they put their hearts in to, so to win this X-Ball tournament is a well chosen way of mass marketing communication to X-Ball in the U.S.

Robbo - Richmond is Canadian but can you ask him where is money is? The U.S. I suppose...

Just a tought...

If it ain't about winning, then it's about ca$h money. Yes, it MUST be about da Franklinz then...

But how about this:

These peeps are there to make money, but they do it with something they LOVE TO DO. Sure, go ahead and blame Canada, but you can't go around whinging about silly conspiracies that all involved are part of an evil galactic empire out to squeeze us dry. Leave that to the proper megalomaniacs with the black capes and rebreathers, not big kids who are having fun what they're doing.

I mean, dude, that's like, so 90's.

What X-Ball was all about was finding a way to turn paintball into a real professional sport at some point in the future. Are people gonna make money doing it? You bet. And a good thing too cause if they didn't it wouldn't happen, would it?

For purposes of professional X-ball who cares how much paint is used or who pays for it? Totally irrelevant. If you ain't a a real pro player you ain't gonna be playing X-ball anyway.

What this and Magued's willingness to test out field variations in Sweden will do is create shorter, tighter more aggressive paintball which will use less paint on the regular tourney circuit. Time to see now if AC will try anything out of the ordinary next week.
(Best thing about IAO were field layouts. Played fast and allowed aggressive teams to step it up. We played 2 games in three days that lasted more than 5 minutes.)


BTW--Yep, it was Alex. And Pete, what did you think of fields in Sweden? Ready to try a diamond-shaped field yet? :D

Dcruz, I don't know why, but people like you crop up in all walks of life, you can't seem to accept the truth and conjure up half ass conspiracy theories that have no grounding in reason or fact.
It's pathetic really and I have yet to fathom why people like you say this crap other than to draw attention to yourself or maybe you just like to talk shiznit, either way, I have now got you on ignore mode !
Micah, 'yes' the paint was all free !!
And you are right it was all about money, it cost Richmond something like $150,000 to put this thing together...wanna know anything else ?

Mooooo! to that, ye lardy daft cow.

Why do people always have to complain when something nice is happening for a change? People will be people I guess.
Good thing you're a cow. :eek:

Lardy indeed! :p
My point was the format isn't intended to serve as a new model for general tourney paintball--hence a game most or all tourney ballers participate in. It is intended as a format that will allow for the formation of a real, honest to God pro league--hence only real, professional ballers will be playing.
I was neither complaining nor commenting only offering my view of what's up.
Perhaps a Baca to English to Diggie dictionary is in order.:)

No, I think I'm good. Anything you think i should know?

Actually I thought of 2 things I wanted to know. Why does Ant Look so much like the Pictures of David Jarvis I've seen. And Can I get in contact with TJ or is he jsut a figment of my imagination or one of somebody's Multiple personalities. And 3rd How come ... if Mr Italia paied for everything why couldn't the dutch ... or who ever it was (I'm still recovering from a couple of parties ... Butler was such a happening town :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: I can't remember) make it. I remember hearing it was due to money issues ... but ... oh well ...

There are 3 kinds of people in this world: Thoughs Who can count and thoughs who can't.

There's no problem.

Spelling I blame on the wonderful school system in California

Yes, I am a we bit young for the "hot spots" all of which included "jeff's Beer Barn" "fred's Beer Barn" "the Beer Barn" "6pack and a sandwich" and Meal in a sand wich"

Oh and how could I forget the 2 Dary Queens.

I did how ever get to ... ummm ... meet ... a couple of local girls ... yeah meet ... Things to see people to do ... that sort of thing ...

Any one remember Jenn and Jess, the "pepsi girls" ... yeah ... I love being 18
