actually, 300fps=200 miles per hour.

**Dogpatch** · April 10th, 10:07 PM

Ummm... 300 feet/second = 204.545 miles/hour. So technically she's right. Ya'll are just not use to hearing it put that way.

But yea, bullets and kills... lame.

EDIT: Jinx, Brock... damn. LOL Posted same time.

**Chris Kringle** · April 10th, 10:10 PM

yeah numb nuts, 300 fps equates to roughly 204 mph

and that was matty marshel doing the commentary

he has more paintball know how and skill in his pinky finger than any of you could hope to aspire to

Rich Telford seemed like a pretty cool guy. Those were some good moves he made from the back to the snake in that last game.

**HomE SkiLLeT** · April 10th, 10:25 PM

I wasn't quite sure on the 200 mph thing, thanks for clearing that up... all 6 of you. haha. Why don't they use fps though? Mostly all paintballers know fps, mph just doesn't make sense when you are talking about a little ball that is flying like 50 feet.

**DragonFire0729** · April 10th, 10:32 PM

Because non-baller viewers DONT know FPS, but do know MPH

Only watched half, but recorded the rest. It wasn't the best... but let's face it, Paintball is a hard sport to televise in the first place, and I think ESPN did one hell of a job since it was their first time doing it. And guys... again, this paintball on a relatively big channel. Even if it was twice as bad, I would still be pleased that it's on there at all (well, not very pleased if it were really that awful, but you get the point

).

Remember to continue watching the rest the shows... only way this will continue is if it gets good ratings.

**Chris Kringle** · April 10th, 10:38 PM

i thought it was awsome how they kept glowing circles over players on overhead shots nad put like the fake lanes of paint to show where people were shooting at some points.

way better than the espn coverage of the 2k4 nxl world cup

***smallerthanlife*** · April 10th, 10:39 PM

man, i had hockey practice, only saw the second half. and i was trying to watch the sharks game at the same time. but from what i saw, it was just exciting seeing paintball on espn. im taping the rest this week.

**lovetocheat69** · April 10th, 10:44 PM

For everybody that missed it, its on again at 11 central.

***smallerthanlife*** · April 10th, 11:02 PM

nice, ill be watching it then.

**Ellis** · April 11th, 02:00 AM

I lol'ed at the 3 for 1 when he tried to wipe. Also there should have been some 1 for 1s, but oh well.

**chaoticprophecy** · April 11th, 05:27 AM

It was pretty good actually. Not that bad, the camera views were great also.

**Dogpatch** · April 11th, 05:43 AM

Yea, there were some good camera angles and the visual aids like the circles and animated ropes will definitely help the sport be more "watchable" for the masses.

Beasty Kato · April 11th, 07:12 AM

Yeah, I liked how they pointed out where the players were with circles, as well as their lines of fire onto the other teams player or players. Helps new guys like me see some of the strategies to use on the field.

Yeah I liked that feature. Ollie Langs camera thing didn't work out too good cuz his hopper was in the way half the time. Haha he was in "spy camp". That comment still cracks me up.

I'm definately watching the rest of the shows and recording them on DVD

**counterstrike53** · April 11th, 08:19 AM

Well you have to start somewhere...

stop whining about the lingo.

**rodeopb28** · April 11th, 08:34 AM

Yeah that was awesome, also i was suprised ollio put that back pack and camera on, i would have been ticked if i were him and got shot there, especialy if i got hit in the camera b/c i would forget my head would be sticking out 2-3 inches higher than normal

***PaintballMisfit*** · April 11th, 02:59 PM

XSV will take it. Watch.
