[automagdude]

What makes them pro?
What is their lifestyle like?
Do they make any money?

Being pro in gerenal!

[cardbordwarrior]

hmmm well they make money and stuff for prizes o they may get other stuff like cars or jet skis and cash or whatever.Most of them have jobs and all. I now that quite a few of them own paintball fields stores or make guns. Ed poorman owns warpedsportz and is captain of avalanche.Bassically they work , practice and play oh ya they party....... a lot. Im not exactly sure what they had to do to go probut whenever they (am. a teams) they go to the pros.
Most are airsmiths and sum like chris and rocky and danny love make thier own guns or upgrades.need more??

Well, of course if you are thinking of growing up and being a pro paintballer, FORGET IT!!!! You have start out as rookie, work your way to novice, then to amatuer B, then Amatuer A, then, that's the end of the line unless your team wins like 12 am. A tournies in a row. Most teams will not make it to Pro. and only a few (if any) Am. A teams actually get paid to play, though they all more than likely have sponsers. Most teams can't get sponsers unless they're placing in the Novice tournies (or Rookie in the NPPL). Don't think you can just grab a couple of friends, start a team, and get sponsers and play pro from the start. You gotta start small, and play and place in at least 1 major tourney before you even think about sending off letters to potential sponsors.

[automagdude]

that would be cool to become pro, but i am doing a english paper on players that play in tournaments

[cardbordwarrior]

well uhh
like what do you wanna know about the pros? like do you want me to to tell you of some and thier teams and posistions or other stuff.Tell me thequestions and i'll give u anwsers dudddddedeeeeeeee

[automagdude]

I am doing opinions on players and the differences between the divisions.
Why do pros get soo mad over things?(like when they get hit they throw their gun down and start to yell at the ref like in your status)
What defines them has pros if they don't get paid to play?(pro football players get paid so why don't pro paintball players)
Where do pros get all the money for paint for pratice and tournaments?
How they become pro?
How do they get all this money to travel, hotels, etc.......i could go on for every?
Add anything that will make my paper better! Thanks!

[wwhooper]

Ok. here we go. I told you how they become Pros. Do you mean the pros that get paid or just big tourney players that are fully sponsored? Pros DO get paid, but there 4 classes below pro that normally don't. Pro's don't normally get mad about things. What you said is just proof that Team Rage should be kicked out of the circuits for un sportaman-like behavior. The Pros get their travel and paint and air and equipment from their main sponsor(s), and then they get paid for competing (only the PRO class). I can try to answer your questions, but I'm not as knowledgable as some. Cardboardwarrior seems to know more than me. You in 7th or 11th grade or somethin? (you know, writing assesment tests) Oh well I'm envious that you got to pick your topic. Last paper I had to write was on "how to make a hamburger" (my english teachers a fruitcake)

[wwhooper]

And I have watched some big tournies, and one thing to include is sportsmanship shown by many of the teams. Team Rage is about the only one that acts unsportsmanlike.

[automagdude]

Yes i am in 10th grade is that a bad thing? And yes we get to pick our own topic. Thanks for all your help answering some of my questions!
In my paper that i am doing i have to use people. Not myself or other articles.
Thanks

[automagdude]

I notice you have a 2k2 vertical cocker. I might get one of those. I was wondering how are they or should i get a different gun?

[wwhooper]

Yeah they're nice with a new barrle, 3-way, and new trigger frame. They're useable stock, but it's not fun.

[cardbordwarrior]

that is true whopper cover most of it. Team rage gets really mad easily and all over stuff.But swearing is normal at tournies, most teams if not close to all swear on the field or off about a bad move.Most of the frustration i think is them gettein angry at themselves or other players cuz sum 1 screwed up. They all very competive and get mad. most teams get mad not just rage. At la lasoya threw his gun cuz they didnt mAke the semi fnals and i have seen members of lockout as well.Also dynasty SUCKZ!!!!! and are the biggest wipers in the game.

[automagdude]

Do any of these pro teams have websites???:confused:

[cardbordwarrior]

ya go to warpedsportz.com and go to info on the left, then go to sponsored teams at the top menu. then click on each logo of the team to visit a mini site dealy. there mrebut im lazy.
