bils gonna use olga, an whats the plan for practice?

Let's practice Wednesday on the field and ready to go at 7pm.

Sorry Chris but we really need James to be there.

Bil

heh heh....I get to use Olga! mmmm

is gt rookie 4 man? if it is why dont we do what we normally do and have a sub everygame

if you look at our games last year we did better when we each play a position and stayed with it for the day.

Once we start playing and you learn a side and a set of bunkers by the end of the day you know the angles and don't have to learn new ones each time you go out. Plus if we start doing a round robin substitution sooner or later we'll end up with Naz, Chris and I on the field at once which would mean we'd have to switch strategies to play with 3 back players.

Bill, can you grayscale it the logo 3 or 4 with red and black bachgroud....
lets see if it looks good...
Naz,

You have to learn the angels before the game....thats what walking the field does
You dont have time in a trny to get used to 1 side, every game counts and you have to adapt if your strategy aint workin

If the GT's are like they were last year....own the snake, own the game. Chris i know your all about crossing up (i think) but u need 1 snake player in there ASAP and a back player shooting tape behind him to get him there and keep him safe. Right after u make ur snake move, and the call goes out....send ur other guy to the 40/50.

Good luck guys, take home 1st

Play like the Toronto Rage X-Ball animals at your practice last week, and you'll win for sure.

Seriously, dominate with paint. Domination also takes skill, but that shouldn't be a problem if you practiced the Chris' training drills. Don't play patty cake paintball - or you'll be the patsy. Lay the paint down to keep your eyes on the field, and make your opponents stare at the back of their bunkers. And if they keep staring at the backs of their bunkers go bunker their scrawny little @ss'. But don't just keeping sitting in your bunker and dumping paint like lazy asses, go bunker them hard if they're hiding.

That's what the Vipers did. That's what Toronto Rage does, and that's what all the top teams do. Play to win. Make us proud DA's.

Jonny and me wont be at practice, sorry guys, jonnys got a big ass project tomoro and my girlfriend is having a shit fit

i will be a little bit late like last week

Thanks Jon....

While I still believe that crossing up is a very important strategy, I do realise it's limitations....

In my limited opinion, it is usefull in a defensive posture and as a means to lock down the field so your front guys can move. I know that I spent alot of time stressing it last year but that was so you guys would use it as second nature and not have to think about it. There are lots of times that one should be shooting tape and there are times when crossing up from the back is useless, a giant centre bunker for instance.

For this year I am going change things up a little and stress an aggressive style of play. This is why I was glad that you and the guys from Rage were there the other week. It gave the boys a chance to see/experience that fast, heavy shooting roll over the the other team, style of play. I will be pushing them this weeknd to play much more aggresively and take the game to the other team.

Chris

Boys, mow like animals. But hey, its the first tourny for some of you, so dont forget to have fun. You guys are all in positions to do well.

Best of luck, Jon.

Cant believe no one is mentioning this but good communication, although it seems very basic is one of the most critical aspects of paintball (non xball). Make sure with all your aggressive play you guys remember to talk to each other out there. Dont just go out on the field and play your own game, talk back and forth all game and use each other to win.

Most of all good luck and have fun, and bil you better mow some faces with my viking.

Bill, you still interested in buying my Shocktech Eblade?

Chris, Do you want me to pick you up on Sat.

Naz,

Dave....

You are absolutly correct....Rest assured, I will definately be stressing not just communication but EFFECTIVE communication. We need to keep the talk going on the field. Also, since this is an outdoor tourny, commication will be much easier as the soud of the guns and the balls hitting the bunkers will not be reflected back onto the field as it is when you play indoors. Outdoor games are quieter that way. This will allow for some good talk between players.
