Is anyone here actually good?

[PbAllWiZZ]

Does anyone here actually play tourneys or is on a real, practicing, team? Im not talkin like, a few friends who are like "We're a team :) " but rather a team that you have sunk money into, practice every week, have sponsors, etc. Im just wonderin cause I remember when I first came here like, when all these dudes had the like, Geocities team websites I was so jealous, and now im actually on a good team with good players and stuff and have a real team website. BTW, no hate on the begginer teams, you need to start somewhere.

[aperson]

I am not really

[PbAllWiZZ]

Errr. Yea.... (http://*******s.com/conspiracy_paintball/tournaments.html)

[drchocolate176]

i went to practice day once at my field, and i had a blast getting my butt kicked. i'm trying to start a team with some of my friends who are really good, but they would rather go on saturday and own all the little noob kids.

so yeah, i'm about an average player, but i'm trying to get myself better.

Nice dude, I hate when kids do that and wont play people better than them. I mean, my team is 5 Man Nov, but we play against D2 X ball guys.

[Psycho_warden]

Well, we are a new team. We have only been to two tournaments. So I wouldnt call us that great yet. No sponsors yet, but each time we go out, we have a hell of a time, so who really cares.

[Raptorz922]

I used to captain a sponsored tourney team, but I had to quit due to time and money contraints. I'm planning on getting a new setup and joining back up with the field's new team soon though.

[Tweeters]

uh, i play Novice XPSL

[soccerjacks12]

My team is going to a Young Gunz tourney in a month at Badlandz.

HAHAH you bash on geocities, but your team website is *******s? LMAO get a real site before you bash.

[TiPpYsGaLoRe]

Shut up. WiZZ>you.

[PbAllWiZZ]

Wow, newb, that site was made back in 2000, I keep it in my sig for nostalgia sake. And when did I say I was bashing geocities websites? Im just saying theres a big difference between a Geocities site and a proffesional site. .

[PbAllWiZZ]

Edit: NVRM this post. I accidently hit quote.

Im just saying theres a big difference between a Geocities site and a proffesional site. And due to the fact that we are sponsored by a web hosting site that made the same site for the New England Hurricane I wouldnt talk.
I can see what he was saying, I saw your ages, and I though "12, 14, 16, is that there barrels? No thats their age? How can he say he's pro if he's at most 16." But now with the clarification, I understand.

[PbAllWiZZ]

Never said I was pro brah.

[Crash90]

Yep, check the sig.

[.:{}:.]

I play XPSL and am an alternate for our nppl team

[PbAllWiZZ]

Nice, glad to see there are some more experience players than me here.

[jakesak]

Currently ranked as a D2 player in the PSP. Last year we placed in the top 16 for D2 5 man. This year, I may play Chi-town and Pittsburgh, but I will be on the field taking pics either way.

[United Idiots]

I am not really

Errr. Yea.... (http://*******s.com/conspiracy_paintball/tournaments.html)

I voted for Eric.

[Minkus962]

I went with Jordan.

*D3.

[Team Chokepoint]

I Captained a fairly serious team of friends for a season, but we split apart when everyone started paying for cars and girlfriends. We were the primary sponsored team for a local field, but I think that hurt us more than helped :dodgy: but that's another story... Now I'm playing Novice with my little bro and his team, but I'm not too serious about it any more.

[PbAllWiZZ]

*D3.

I <3 you

[DagNasty]

most of the people here that play DI or higher, keep it fairly on the down low..

[hybrid-sniper]

Used to play on a sponsored team, wasn't a buddy started one it was field scouted roster of rookie and nov players. We practiced 2-3 times a month and usually played a tournament a month.
Then some conflicts arose and half disbanded and the other half of us just play tournies casually for fun now.

[|æ|R|4|V|E|N|æ|]

I do XPSL. I love my field cause we got teams like 1up kids, Sniper Force, and FYT that regularly play there. (I don't know if many people have heard of em, 1 up and FYT are D2, SF is Semi) I used to get killed by them, but I've been able to get one or two of em out every once in a while now.

[Tweeters]

I've heard of 1up kids, who do you play for at XPSL?

[|æ|R|4|V|E|N|æ|]

Well, I'm in between teams right now, but the team in my sig (which I need to change) was the team that we had.

[smartguy41]

I used to be in the whole team/tourney scene, but it's pretty hard to play paintball as much as I used to now that I'm in college. When I get out of school it'll be a lot easier and I plan on opening my own field/Pro-Shop. But when I do play I enjoy playing against more experienced people than me.

I thought 1 Up was D3 with Pyronauts, United was Semi, and SF was D2?

[xIrish]

Nice, glad to see there are some more experience players than me here.

Kind of sounds like you're glorifying yourself. Anyway, there's a handful of people on these boards that probably meet and surpass your standard of what "experience" is. You can find plenty of pros on PBN.

[aperson]

I voted for Eric.

cool, that's me :D

our team sucks

[PeYToN-SS]

Sig w/ sponsors

[|æ|R|4|V|E|N|æ|]

Oops.... had my stuff mixed up. Your right on all of those, don't know where I got my info:rolleyes:

[smittay14]

i suck..i've been to a field just once. i just pretend i'm good with all my knowledge and then just suck it up on the field. i just play to have fun. my friends and i just aren't committed to making a team and the nearest field is an hour away so we just play in a grove with some bunkers n' stuff. it's like a woodsball and speedball mixture of playing.

[Binx]

Man...I suck so bad. I rarely get eliminations, and if I'm NOT eliminated from a game, I'm pleasantly suprised. I play stupid and refuse to take cover. I usually am the decoy. I like to tell people that in reality, I'm drawing fire so my team mates can surround the other team. The truth is, I just suck and I want to do something to help out....but I still suck.

[Nickisgod]

You can find plenty of pros on PBN.

From what I've heard, there's also a couple on PBR. :dodgy:

[Psycho_warden]

From what I've heard, there's also a couple on PBR. :dodgy:

Oops, you caught me :dodgy: Just kidding, I dont plan to be pro, and frankly dont want to be. I think it would take a lot of the fun out of it.

Smittay and Binx. Dont be so hard on yourselfs. Everyone started out that way. Some may have had a better nack for it to start, or were a bit faster, or whatever, but we are all still there to have fun. And as long as you have a good attitude and keep playing, you will find yourself on the other end of the sucky-stick, and you will be dishing out the paint like mad. Just keep to it and try to practice as much as possible.

[PbAllWiZZ]

Yea, Im not saying that its wrong to have fun playing, or not to have experience yet. Honestly when I made the title I was trying to be a dick to see how people would react, lol, sorry. But Im not saying Im gods gift to PB, hell, in the big picture Im not that good, but Im making my way.

[Binx]

Psycho Warden. Thanks for the vote of confidence...but it's not like it's anything new (my bad playing). I've been playing since about 97ish and nothing has changed...other than me moving slower.

I'm not complaining. I have fun doing what I do. And if you saw me play, you'd see I'm not being hard on myself. Just brutally honest :)

[Omegaboy13]

Most of the better players on here play d2, d3, d4 and young guns. I play d3/d2.

[rcxpaintball]

Though I am old some may say I still have some skills.

However I believe the highest ranking person on the forums would have to be Z@EMoney. I know hes at least ranked Semi Pro and an active player but I was hearing that he signed something with a Pro team, but anyhow thats about the highest ranking player on the forums thats active around here.

[mcaswell24]

isnt lopez17 a pro paintballer or something??

[PbAllWiZZ]

Werd, Ive never seen him, lol. Ill have to look for him.

[rcxpaintball]

Werd, Ive never seen him, lol. Ill have to look for him.

Lopez was in a magazine once I believe and he plays with a decent level team.

Z@Emoney like most company reps isnt online visibly that much, but the record stands (I need to confirm it first but I am almost postive) that he has appeared in every magazine except facefull in an article hes written or photos of him modeling or playing. I don't know for sure but I saw him spending an unusual amount of time with Rocky Knuth at HB and at the ND's booth....not to mention he was walking around drinking their water...might be something going on there...or then again he might just be working out a deal with the Dogs to set up a facility or something.

[Ebonclaw]

I played for Avalanche for a while.

No, not really. I suck.

What company did he represent?

[rcxpaintball]

What company did he represent?

He still does. Past history and track record you can find a photo, nametag/id, or person at just about any major company that hes helped out.

Right now hes with Action Town Sports (Money Paintball/firstcall...etc) though I heard some talk about him leaving to work with a leauge. Also hes a regular in SPLAT MAGAZINE (may 1st...him+scenario = blackmail to the XTREME!)

:dodgy:

[SevEn_EleVen]

I played d2 last year, got raped but it was fun.

Were doin d4 xball this year, if they let me. We pratice against tip-set.

(tippmann effect, the xball team)
Get pooned, but can hold our own sometimes.

[f2f4]

Eh, me, Crede777, and EEric22 play with OhioPBX. We're just your average D3 team as of now. We play with anyone from D3 up to semi, so we're slowly hauling along and getting better.

D4 XBall doesn't exist.

Hahaha, RCX, thats great. "The one with the abs" BWAHAHAH, just found that funny, dunno why. Good stuff :tup:

[Samrog777]

D4 XBall doesn't exist.

Yes it does buddy... :rolleyes:

I used to. Broke up at the end of summer. Looking for anohter.

don't forget to get their autograph.. they hate being ignored.

[pump playa]

NoPe I sUcK!

[Elfasto]

Nice dude, I hate when kids do that and wont play people better than them. I mean, my team is 5 Man Nov, but we play against D2 X ball guys.

That's how I learned. Play against people better than you, and don't give up. You'll get respected for hanging in there.

[rcxpaintball]

Hahaha, RCX, thats great. "The one with the abs" BWAHAHAH, just found that funny, dunno why. Good stuff :tup:


Seriously, Amie has some abs like you wouldnt believe. Z@EMoney introduced me to her at HB and as she stood up and tightend up her abs I nearly wet myself. After having a child you have abs like that....it makes people like me just seem lazy...

[Nickisgod]

My D3 team fell apart. These days I mainly practice with two local D2 teams (Thunderstruck, Chi Town Raiders) and with some Aftershock boys once in a while.

[Samrog777]

Nickisgod- EXACT same thing here... who did you play for? MWArson here...

[Sheps]

I'm currently saving up for a SP ION, and am almost there (finally), what do you think?

[Nickisgod]

Nickisgod- EXACT same thing here... who did you play for? MWArson here...

No one at the moment. Ten bucks says you saw me at the CTR tryouts a while back. I was the awesome kid with the Take Aim shirt who was having a lot of trouble with the mud that day.

[iplaynaked]

Yes it does buddy... :rolleyes:

I used to. Broke up at the end of summer. Looking for anohter.
D4 is just 5 man, not real xball if i remember correctly.

[nerdcore]

We had a team, comprised of me, 2 cousins and 4 friends (Team Versatile). We were lined up for two local tourneys last fall but only the 4 friends had enough money to enter when the deadline approached so they gathered a couple of their own friends to enter (they place 11th or 17th out of 35-30 or something like that, don't remember). Then one of my cousins couldn't play anymore (liver cancer) so we decided not to enter the second tourney. He died last November. We all stopped playing and i started reffing exclusively.

Well now we're all back together and getting ready for local tourneys in late spring & summer. We don't plan on advancing into higher ranks or even winning any of them, we just want to get the experience before we all turn 30.
