Woodsball tournaments were a big part of paintball in the 80's and 90's. When speedball came in woodsball tournaments died.

Over the past few years people have tried to run scenario woodsball tournaments but I think most players just want it simple. Go kick the other teams *** and bring back their flag.

Over my 24 years of playing I can not tell you enough how much I learned from playing in tournaments!

3 man Tournaments put you under presser as if your the last 3 players left on your team and you have 5 minute before the game ends. What are you going to do? Run and dig in or make a plan and attack.

Woodsball tournaments help with communication. How to communicate to teammates over large distances in code with out the other team knowing what your talking about.

I sometimes wonder if most players today are scared of their teammates seeing how good or not so good they are when the win of the game is up to just them.

I always look at my team and judge everyone on it with only one question! If everyone else on my team was eliminated which players could win the game by them selfs? 1 on 1, 1 on 2 and 1 on 3!? On most ten man teams there may be only 3 to 4 players that can do that.

Tournaments help teach players how to step up THEIR game! To many players are only good in mobs/groups.

OK I will stop ranting.

Doh! On the bright side they usually hook you up some nice meds when you get'em pulled!

Just some advice though, do everything the doc tells you to do to avoid dry rot, trust me. My gums inflamed the stitches and he had to use pliers and pull with one foot up on the chair to get them out. I've broken 3 bones and never felt pain like that...

I think we wouldn't have a problem scrounging(sp) up 3 guys C4, If your interested in this tourney..

C4, Krutsie and Slumlord--Wanna represent Woodland with me? (We could go four to spell anyone who was winded and make sure we always had fresh legs). I think I could make it. $18.75 a piece entry...

Senator, I would love to make this happen. I'm pretty sure that this is Slum's custody weekend so he can't make it. Wick, Darkstorm, or Wolverine might be able to fill in or perhaps you can call on some of your Wolfpack brethren to get into the fray?

Hey Darrin, could the tourney teams parlay their entry fee to open play for the rest of the day if they lose or if the tourney ends early? That way they could make the most out of their trip out to Splattag?

WAR Dogs/Hart's Paintball might be able to scare up a team, depending on how busy everyone is. We always wanted to do the tourneys, we just couldn't make it last year.

Most of us carry IONs, but that shouldn't be a problem if we keep them on semi, right Darrin?

Darrin,
C4, Rolo, myself (and maybe one more) will compete as a team. No name yet for the squad (we'll think of something), but wanted to let you know you could count on our entry.

Yeah, but I would be rolling with one fellow Woodland Security member and one Wolf Pack member, so, it'll depend on if we get a fourth player or not and what group he's from...so we'll see. hs:)

Cool cool, between me, Senator, and Rolo it's either 2 WS or 2 Pelicans +1. Is there a Pelican squad that might throw down?

As much as I would like to play I just had knee surgery about a month ago so I am definitely out of any type of tournament. I could play paintball but wouldn't be much help in that format. Maybe next time.

You should call yourselves "Pelican Security" for the tournament. :)

Not looking good. This August is not a good month for the PBPBC. :(

I enjoyed the SPPL tourney thing a couple of years ago and was hoping to make this, but it's just not going to happen.

Rolo and myself will be joined by two other Woodland Security members, so we would still be in if the tourney goes forward.

Thanks to the teams that did step up and all the players that consider trying it.

I told the tournament Refs (team RAF) that it is cancelled.
