3rd Paintball Tournament

This was in end of August, 2006. It was wet. Period....

It was a small tournament. Sort of invitational.. And it was played in lots of mud... Everywhere..
But the best thing is we were using mechanical marker.... Not to worry about the marker going 'kaput' on you. May be just a little bit.



There are 6 teams in the novice division and 6 in the beginner's. I played in the novice... Well, having held a marker before (in one corporate tournament) take me out of the beginner's division. But the rest of my team, all of them are season player by my standard.

They've been in a couple of tournaments. We went to play an exhibition match (courtesy of the organizer), and then played another 5 games. We qualify to the semi-finals but lost to the eventual champion. At this time I'm still using a rental mask, no proper paintball pant, etc. :((((

2nd Paintball Tournament

It was 3-on-3 tournament in conjunction with the National Day celebration. I was so excited (this being my 2nd ..ehemmm... tournament) I went for the briefing on behalf of a couple of friends. And to the team draw.


Guess what?? I'm not sure whether it's my luck/jinx, I'm playing on the very 1st game of the tournament. Newbies playing the 1st game on our 2nd outing.. What are the odds? Slim.... Yeah rite!!!



It was drizzling that morning. So, the tournament started late... by an hour. And we have to wait for the dignatory to officiate the game. Apart fr0m the marathon, BMX flat land etc. Lots of activities going on.

The thing is that the tournament is a knock-out competion. Well, we lost the first game that THAT'S IT.

My first ever paintball tournament

It was on early or mid August last year that I had a taste of paintball. It was a corporate game 7 on 7 to be precise ... capture the flag format.

At first I've got this internal e-mail, saying they gonna arrange a closed paintball tournament for the employees at the place I work at.

I say to myself, why not give it a try... So, I asked a few friends of mine and 7 of us agreed to participate. We call ourselves 'V-Slam'. Nothing much, just we need a name for our team.

We were there just to have fun.... We've managed to humiliate ourselves by losing to the eventual finalist in our first game... But we managed to win our next 2 games.... with the advise from a season paintballer...

So, there we were in the 2nd round but we only manage a draw and lose. Our day ends there.

:(((

New passion of mine...

Lot's of things amongst it, the Mrs gave birth to a baby girl and I've started playing.....
