What an awesome day for St Louis’s first X Ball tournament! Thanks to Xtreme Paintball Park, Total Greif, Eric and his 2 teams from Gateway Paintball, PIC and Bonk, and the spirit showed by BKR from the Paintball Store in Otto. Great time! Fast paced! Quick games! No overshooting! No arguing! Clean play! And did I mention fun?!?

Pump players from around the area converged today on Xtreme Paintball Park outside Columbia, Illinois. Four teams registered for the areas first X Ball tournament with a twist. Pump gun only! The games were very high tempo. Each team had subs, which seemed to be much needed. The audience participation was GREAT!!! The coaching was fun, but challenging. You got to hear lots of voices, but determining which one was directed at you and which one was “helping” was challenging. The audience participation was intense and sometimes used to “misdirect” a player. Hopper ball was generally the rule of the day as most individual games only lasted a matter of 5 or less minutes. The majority of players used hoppers and compressed air, but there were a few old school stock class pumps wielding their deadly accuracy.

PIC faced off against Bonk in the first round. I may be wrong, but I believe a misplaced flag (deposited it at the wrong end) may have cost them a point and the overall game (5 points needed to win). BKR, representing the Paintball Store, played valiantly against the pump experienced Greifers. Most of BKR had only occasionally shot pumps and had scrambled to have enough available for the tournament. Gotta tip my hat to those guys! They played well and held Greif off each game, but only for a time. Greif did come out 5 points to nada for BKR.

The finals boiled down to Total Greif versus Bonk. What games! A back and forth battle. Bonk wins first point. Greif ties it up. Bonk takes the next. Greif ties it up again. Went this way the entire game. With the teams tied at 4 a piece, the 2 teams rushed to finish off each other. But wouldn’t you know it? The game was stopped for TIME!!! Both teams switched up players and went head to head in a sudden death matchup. This was Total Greifs day, as they came out the victors in the first of the 8 game X Ball series to be held at Xtreme.

So break out those pumps, get your team together, and challenge for the next tournament on Sunday, April 30th ! $10 per person and bring your own paint! A GREAT deal!

There's a great opportunity for beginners coming up in a couple of weeks. Get your buds together for this! It's a 3 man speedball "FUN" tournament. It's $40 per person-but listen to what you get! First, everyone must be a beginner. Rec players or total beginners only. NO tournament experienced players! EVERYONE will be playing with the SAME marker! PMI just released the Maxx 55 paintball marker and wants to get into the hands of the public quickly. Each paid registrant not only gets to play, but they get to TAKE HOME the brand new marker, goggle system, tank and hopper they just used for the tournament! Every player will get a brand new kit to play with. Each team should get at least 6 games. Field paint only is $15 for 500 rounds which may be enough for this tournament. We shot these semi automatic markers today and they're awesome for rec ball! Smaller paintballs take up so much less space. They hurt less. Seem to be less affected by wind. And these markers were very accurate! Here's the flyer;

i might i'll have to see if some friends want to go.

***ThePinkRabbi*** · April 14th, 04:06 PM

oh how much is it, and is all day air free

Jubes · April 14th, 04:15 PM

Normally $10 for open play and $5 for all day air. As my guest, you'll be free with all day air for free. Ask for Jubes before you go to the pay window. And let your friends know that we give FULL air fills. No "just a squirt to get you by". You can BYOP or buy good quality RPS Premeium for $60 a case, tax included.

The free open play for girls is just that. They get free entry and air. If they need equipment, rental equipment is free but they must buy FPO for that.

Yep, you can BYOP. FPO is for rental equipment, tournaments and sometimes special events. We've even got an X Ball pump tournament that you can bring your own paint!
