Has anyone else here ever ended up in a situation where you are playing speedball, and you're whole team gets out right away while you are left all alone 5 on 1.... This seems to happen to me on a regular basis in speedball, and I usually win as a matter of fact... But what a hell it is. Worrying about 5 different people. making sure you don't let 1234 advance while you are dealing with 5. It's really a brain teaser when this crap happens.

Been there, but it didn't happen off the break. Two on my team were eliminated off the break and the other two were shot out. I broke a ball and I didn't have time to swab my barrel. I ended up moving to the back man's position after emtying my hopper at a couple of guys to get their heads down. When I got there, I grabbed a pod, opened it and shotgunned it's contents at the opening of my hopper. Only about 100 of the 140 actually landed in the hopper. I slammed the lid closed and picked off a guy running up to bunker me. I traded shots with the guy to my right in the snake also and finnally got him out too. There was another attempt to bunker me, but I got him out before he could get to my bunker. The fourth guy, I had to scoot around the bunker on my knees to keep it between me and him, but I got him out too. Only the flag runner was left. He made a run down the middle thinking it was clear. He saw me at 10yrds and openned up. I did the same, but because of the break, they zinged to all corners of the hyperball field. Three of his landed on mark and two broke. I have to say that was the best adrenalin rush I've ever had at a tournament.
