Hey everyones just wanted to know how you felt in your first tournament cause im about to get into one and im kinda nervous about all the people watching

**ShepardD** · April 26th, 09:53 PM

It was about a equal mix of excitment and nerves (not about embarrasing myself or something like that, worried I might let my teammates down), to be honest my first game was PITIFUL, I made it to my position and I guess because of the excitment for some reason when I popped out the right side to take my 1st shot, I left my hopper exposed and I was out within the first 5 seconds, but then I calmed down and went back to playing my game and all was good

Still better than a guy I know who got so jumpy that he shot two of his teammates in the back off the break, his first game.

Ooh I was pretty nervous for my first one, I think we won like 1 game out of 8 during the whole day. You don't even realize the spectators when you play because of all the other stuff going on in the game like your yelling teammates and the shooting. But overall it's a good learning experience even if you don't do good because then you'll know what your problems are and you can fix them for the next tourney.

Maybe we would've done better failure if your damn Impulse didn't have bolt stick.

But you probably won't do that good, but if you do, that's great.

my first tourney...

3-man FSPL

I think our team set the record

all three members out in 6 seconds...

EDIT: all three of OUR members

**boomdie** · April 27th, 01:50 PM

Yeah we had one like that, except it was about 13 seconds, a guy did a run through and got our whole team.

EDIT:Normalperson97 stepped out of bounds like a girl in that game.

**pbpro115** · April 27th, 02:22 PM

our first game, our backman hit himself in the head with his 2k3 matrix....my gun stopped working, and our mid players burst disc ruptured...we stil survived a minute or soo

EnergizerBunny · May 1st, 07:42 PM

wow you guys didnt do too good. We won 7/8 games and came in first........he people we were playing really sucked though cuz we play w/ a team like 2 times a month and they go up to the field that held the tourny and play themselfs and other noobs.

**Skate and Paint** · May 8th, 04:29 PM

ours is this sunday...may 15th i am STOKED but we havent gotten to practice much so im kinda worried about that. o well it should be fun.

**PaintBallBob** · May 8th, 04:50 PM

deffinitly walk the field and be sure to have a game plan a few minutes before it starts.
we got in 6th place(a couple more eliminations and woulda gotten a trophy) and i was playing with pussies that hid behind the start box(both at the same time). Seriously, make sure everyone understands the game plan and follows it.

**PaintViper** · May 11th, 05:21 PM

Concentrate on your game. Your with your bros. They got your back as long as you got there's. COMMUNICATION IS KEY. Know how much are left on both sides, where you are, and what to do and basically when. My team got 2nd on our first tournament (Rookie-3 Man-Local Turny-GDXS-CT). Concetrate, Communicate, Shoot.
