thanks

its three man, a 1back, 2 front is good for 3 man, or a 2 1, make sure you have all of the needed tools to fix your gun, make sure you are loud, and last thing, in three man, every one counts, in ten man you can afford to lose a guy, but in three man you need everyone

thanks...anyone else

You ain't out till your armband is off or you see paint you'd call your opponent on if you were a ref. Don't check yourself, get the ref to do it. Don't stop playing while being checked. Use paintchecks even if you think you just splattered the heck out of a guy, sometimes they count splatter. And watch this vid for a last ditch idea that worked for me. Loosely translated, you'll learn two things form it. It ain't over till it's over, and shoot anything with an armband on.

Don't wipe, play clean, and get ready for the next game, no matter how far off, before you take a break.

Pick the side of the field that puts the sun in the other guys' eyes...do everything you can to maximize advantage.

Make SURE everyone carries a squeegee onto the field.
Don't do stupid stuff like going when the ref yells "Game starts on my mark!!"
Don't touch where you got hit. They'll call you for wiping. It's the ref's job to look for paint, not yours.

Be ready to shoot a guy as many times as it takes till his armband is off..there's cheaters everywhere, and while they can wipe one hit, try three.

Don't cuss at the refs, they're busting their butts.
Don't argue. If your armband is pulled and you have no clue why, don't talk, just walk.
Don't ask for surrenders. You won't get them.
Even if your gun goes down, don't give up. I was able to pull and hang the flag after my gun went down while a teammate laid cover fire.
Don't hit the 50 by yourself. That's asking for it.
And..oh yeah..that "fun" thing...why you got into paintball...enjoy it.

No surrender, you shoot them under any circumstances

dont play on with an obvious hit......

if all of a sudden your seeing all pink.....

they may of got you

we got 230 points....not bad. there were ORIGINALLY 4 teams signed up for novice, and 4 for amaeture...but there weren't enough in each, so they combined the two into one category:mad: we beat two of the novice teams, and managed to get three other hits through out the rest of the games, giving us a total of 230 points. on the break out of the first game, we were up against a 15yr old team(!), and we scored two of their guys (this was seconds after break out) but the capt of the team managed to get all three of us out....one of our players got hit in the ear ouch.

Hey on the 3vs1 why didnt u have two of your guys do a double bunker?

[specter542]

idk lol.
btw, the first team that we played, (where we got two of their guys out on the break, and they got one of ours on the break), the dude who got all of us out, turns PRO next week!! :eek: we almost beat a team with a pro member. they ended up winning the tourney... he is also the dude who runs the pball store down the road. when i walked in yesterday to get my brothers DF, they were like, "your the team who almost beat Jasons!" (jason, the soon to be PRO, as of next week)

And remember, a loss is only a loss if you didn't learn anything.

Man you lost to 1 guy? All of you shoot the hell out of the bunker and bunker him
