Its amazing to watch how each and every team IMPROVED soo much from last tourney, Im really impressed and proud of all the teams out there who have the dedication to keep improving there game!
Other teams comments/suggestions can be posted here if desired!
I had a blast at the tourney today. Hopefully I can talk the other two into coming back for Farmball Event #3. Congrats to Area 31 red for pulling out with the victory. Good luck to all the teams at the next event.
I seen some really awesome paintball today and learned a fair bit in doing so. Thanks to all the Hailstorm guys for putting on an excellent tourney. A special thanks to Danney for lending me his compressed air tank for the day.
Well the reffing was great...like usual...and the i think that was the most fun field i have ever played on, it was set up real sweet and was "measured out". I have to admit that almost every team has improved alot over the two months since the first event. I was very happy with the paint this time...it was a lil better than last time and i had absolutely no problems with it. The only thing that might have made the day a little less enjoyable was the whether, but what can u do...and the tables help a lot...Thanks stg for lettin me use the dm4...wish i could keep it...but yeah u saved me there.
well i cant wait till the last event...it will be interesting to see the outcome of it
good job hailstorm for hosting a pretty sweet tourney...
well the tourney was very fun once again. of course though there are a few things that could have been better. for one i think a schedule would have been better so you wouldnt all of a sudden be surprised that your supposed to be on the field. but this time around the paint was awesome, it was really good and let every team play to their full potential. also the deadbox's in place was really nice (i didnt like the smallness of the chair). the last thing that couldve been better is to have had the field a little more measured. i noticed that the side near the entrance had a huge lane on the tape while the far side had a very small one and other things like that. all in all was a really fun day and we will be out for the next one.
Thanks for the Props everyone. Everything came together really well and it made for great paintball the whole day (the most important part). Congrats to Area 31. You guys pulled together a solid performance all day and sealed the deal with solid play at the end, well done. Renegade, it was awesome to have you guys come down, the sportsmanship and high level of play did not go unoticed, hope to see you come down for event #3. Special props out to the Supernaturals. All the beatings you guys have taken at the hands of Hailstorm is finally paying off, good job on Making Semi's. Crazy Valley Wow! Crazy is right. At the fill station I kept hearing guys from some of the top teams talking about how they got knocked off by a bunch of guys in shorts and t-shirts. LOL. Way to represent the valley. Blizzard, another solid final four placing. Keep working hard and that free ride to the C-4 should be yours. Awesome competition all around.
We apologize for not having a schedule in place. That is the difficulty of not knowing how many teams will be showing up the day of the tourney. We had fourteen paid and another four verbally confirmed, so we were not expecting to have 15 teams (the worst possible number for scheduling). We will do our very best to make sure that we have a schedule made up for teams to see when they play for the next event.
As far as the field not being spaced properly, I can tell you right now that every single bunker was measured exactly to place. The netting angles a little bit towards the north as it runs west which can give the illusion that the lane is bigger on one side than the other (also the poles leaning because of the wind would have added to that), but trust me, it's not. The back bunkers both had exactly the same looks on each other and the dorito. Thankyou everyone for all your comments and feedback. We hope to see you all back at E-3, and hopefully the best Farmball yet.
God bless,

A lot of teams have brought there level of game up a tonne!, and you know what practice does pay off, right supernaturals/blizzard/ussr? Im espcially proud of you guys cuz I first hand get to see you improve... I know the other teams are all improving as well but when you get to practice with teams and watch there skills go through the roof it makes it that much more good....
Patrick... as splatters said the first time the field wasnt measure out right ... so guess what, i took it in my own hands to make sure the field was right, (I had a wheel measure which made every single bunker smack on mirrored to the other side of the field) the only problem i could see would be the net, and sorry Its not worth fixing to move one or two poles in 1/2 foot to make it "perfect"
sorry it must have been me then. somethings seemed a little different but i trust that you guys measured it out and i even saw the measuring wheel out the night before. oh well i guess my visions getting worse( i keep getting new glasses and my eyes keep getting worse). well thanks for clearing that up. also when are you getting the final results done?
Final results... ummm just let us get em organized soorry we have been super busy with practice and we gotta take off for MR shortly... Ill do my best to get em up before i leave pat but if not as soon as i get back... end of next week FOR SURE!
Awesome tourney again guys, we all enjoyed it. And Danny, thanks for the kind mention. You can pretty well count on us making event 3 for sure. We'll likely be comming with 2 teams, if i don't roll my ankle at practice the week of the tourney again..... stupid ankle. There's nothing worse than not being able to get in on the action. But event 3, knock on wood, i'll be going hard.
Crazy valley, always a pleasure running into you guys and seeing you in action again. Mad props to you yet again. My hat is off to you all, you guys came to a tourney with spyders and schooled some great teams with high end gats. Your victories and success should be all the sweeter because of it. I definatley hope to see you at our upcomming tournies in Dauphin this year too. If you camp out at the field, we'll get together for a brief pre-game party the night before.
It was great to get to know a few more teams and players from the surrounding paintball community. Hope to see you all at the next event..... except for the teams that finished above us.... we can do without you. jk.
than last time and i had absolutely no problems with it. The only thing that might have made the day a little less enjoyable was the whether, but what can u do...and the tables help a lot...Thanks stg for lettin me use the dm4...wish i could keep it...but yeah u saved me there.
