excellent your on the list dude

[k higgins]

hi all as promised i am back to update you on tobias's operation.
it was a great success according to his surgeon. he is pretty crook at the momment but thats to be expected, he went into theatre at 2-15pm and came out 7-15 so long op. the surgeons have said tobias will have a long recovery in front of him around 12mths, he will be able to go to paintball as a spectator,after about 2-3mths, THAT WILL REALY MAKE HIM ANGRY AS HE LOVES TO BE OUT THERE WITH YOU ALL PLAYING . BUT HE WILL HAVE TO REALISE ITS FOR HIS OWN LONG TERM GOOD.
his prognosis long term according to his surgeons and doctors is reasonabl considering his massive injuries.
he will probably have perminent headaches,some dizziness,problems controlling his hands from shaking,memory problems,and speaking and writeing.as he gets his words confused. BUT HEY TOBIAS HAS HAD ONE EIGHTH OF HIS TOTAL BRAIN MASS REMOVED, so he is doing remarkably well realy. so if this is how tobias is going to be long term WE CAN THANK OUR SELVES LUCKY,AS HE COULD HAVE BEEN PARALYSED ECT. SO TOBIAS WILL EVENTUALY BE ABOUT 70% OF HIS OLD SELF, QUITE REMARKABLE CONSIDERING THE MASSIVE INJURIES HE HAS SUSTAINED.
the main problem i can forsee ahead is holding tobias down while he is supposed to be recovering so he doesant hurt him self more, HE IS SUCH A LIVE WIRE AS YOU ALL KNOW HA HA.
WE WILL BE HELPING HIM AND HIS WIFE AND FAMILY OUT QUITE A LOT OVER THE NEXT 12MTHS. WHILE HE IS NOT ABLE TO WORK ECT. at this stage it looks like he may not even be ableto return to work at all ???? but time will tell. LETS HOPE,BUT MOST OF ALL I HOPE HE CAN RETURN TO PLAYING HIS BELOVED PAINTBALL,IT REALY MEANS A LOT TO HIM. well thats all for now,i will keep in touch and will definitely try to get to the paintball touurniment ,being held as a fund raiser for tobias + his family. IF IT IS AT ALL POSSIBLE I WILL TRY AND SEE IF TOBIAS CAN COME AND WATCH THE TOURNIMENT,[IT WOULD BE SUCH A BOOST TO HIS MORAL]. regards ken higgins and family

[Kyzee]

The last opperation I had was significant and the skull being placed back together was intense. Attending the tournament in WA seems intense with the pain caused. So I will unfortunately miss the event.

My hopes do go out to all but I hope the best teams will win.

Thankyou, Tobias Higgins

Good luck to all players out there competing today. Good luck to Sammy, Bill, Garry and any other players over there I have met on my tournaments and travels.

Please post a winning result so I can have some info. :)

Thankyou, Tobias Higgins.

[alien]

1st - Tsunami (haha)
2nd - ??? Gerry's team - i forgot their name, lets call it Venom Z
3rd - Iron Men

LAST (11th) - Froggy's Poptart Pirates.

It was a MAD day - REALLLLY fun and heaps of laughs (and shooting people from the sideline (sammy and diesel)).

Reffing was fantastic too! Thanks to Pete n Jill.

Also - im obliged to write: Deadbox gave away a heap of prizes - i hope anyone who got one enjoys it and sends some suckers to the deadbox next tourney! (not to the company, we dont want them... just shoot them off the field).

Tobias - you got some bulk cash coming your way dude.

[Kyzee]

To Alien, thankyou for the information regarding the tournament in Perth. The fact that Tsunami came first is great news! Congratulation to all the teams and good job going to another rough paintball tournament. Many thanks to all refs including Bill and Jill from what I hear.

My main issue was that I couldn't make it my self, next tournament you attend, I may just show my face, SAPPA will be one I will attend to observe and watch first. :)

Thankyou, Tobias Higgins

[Conman]

My team (Joy Division I think?) came 2nd. Just quietly I call for an audit on Tsunami's results. I suspect some dodgy under the table shenanigans went on there.

But seriously, it was a really really fun day and all for a good cause. Some awesome prizes by a lot of generous donors but mostly it was just good fun honest ball.

Also props to Ali for not getting my Best Run Through of the Day™on camera :(

[alien]

honest? hahaah what tournament were you at??? hahahahahahahaha

although no one denied cheating which was awesome.

[dusta]

by honest i think he means the spectator involvement :)


LOOK OUT HE"S COMING
haha

[wadesty]

many thanks to all involved on the day (to many names to mention),had the best day!thank s to the other two members of my team(Dynesty)for helping big time and geting us over the line,the nices guys to team up with,mixing up players for new teams good concept! heaps of prizes i mean heaps! no one missed out. but all of this was for a good cause and everbody dug deep, I don't know you and probly never get to meet you but good luck with everthing Tobias.....

[impatient]

Big thanks to Sammy and everyone else involved in organising and running the day, great day, great concept, fantastic cause. Special mention to Pete and Jill who travelled over from Sydney to Ref the event.:respekt:

Personal thanks to Wade and Matt (team Dynasty) it was a pleasure to have you on the team.:bow:

As for that 32 Degrees jersey signed by Bob Long, I returned it to Sammy on the proviso that he kicks an extra $50 into the kitty for Tobias. I know you will keep your word Sammy.:thumbsup:

[ghostrider]

What an awesome day of paintball.
That would have been the most fun paintball tournament ever. Nothing serious just good quality fun.
Once a year Sammy. At least one of these a year.

Funny watching a player get taken out off the break by a spectator and being eliminated to then be fined for talking as a dead player to the ref about being shot from the sideline.:lol: :rofl: :lol:

AHH funny shiet.

Thanks to all the dudes who showed up. :thumbsup:
:fu: to all the dudes that didnt:lol:
:bow: to Jillibean and Pete. Cant believe you guys travelled that far for this, absolutley awesome guys.
:respekt: Gary for travelling from SA for this.
:angel: Thanks to Paul Mavor for the venue
:thumbsup: thanks to youall who donated something.

[Willendorf]

we should organise something like this for queensland
it sounds like you guys had a blast!

[dusta]

I just wish my foot wasn't stuffed and i could have played yesterday. Having to sit on the sidelines was very hard. What a great day. For me probably the funniest moment was diesel sitting on the sidelines shooting the laydown greaser was at , only to keep missing the bunker and poor old paintball pete copping more than a few hits. How often do you see a ref litup by a spectator :lol: :lol:

Big thanks to paintball pete and jillibean for coming over and to all involved in organising what was a great day .

[Gonky]

yeah thanks sammy it was a great day and damed if ill let that sort of run through happen again (those of u who came will know)... BIG UPS to adam for the field and diesel for shooting sammy from the sidelines and jus so y'all know X-FIGHTERS wa CAME 5th overall "TINSEL TOYS"

great day
great ppl who came for a good cause
great to see ppl came to support a person who they dont even know
great stuff Pete and Jill for commin
and DAM great PIZZA and comedy at greasers after (you guys all missed it)


all in all GREAT DAY (today not so much bad hangover)

[Sharpy]

best draw card that will ever be seen at an australian tourney, we had:

Dynasty
XSV
Iron-men
Avalanche
russian legion
joy division

WOW wat a line-up... the rosters may have been 'slightly' different to what they would usually play with, but most of the big names where there

also, SWAT and X-Fighter$ played to... gimps

[ghostrider]

So whos got the photos and vids....
Whos writing the article for APM....


Hey X-Fighters did well at 5th i think against the likes of Dynesty, XSV, IRONMEN, Russion Legion.

Not bad X-Fighters.

At least we beat the poptart pirates

Big thanks to the Blacken boys. You guys can carve em up. Hey Gonkers, Bowser hows that, we only won just over half the games but the games we did win where MAXED :bow: :armed:

[lump_a_charcoal]

So how much moolah was raised? It sounds like an awesome event, shame it is on the other side of the country...

[Gonky]

dam straight we did once we started having fun we owned :armed: mind u G-Unit consisted of Sammy :respekt: and Rob :respekt: when they faced us and we still did reasonably well only got overshot what like 50 times at least it alll went to the appeal...

ghosty love that roll run lol:respekt:




all we know is that frank made some new friends and froggy is still a joombie cant even spell my name dammit :hammer:

[ghostrider]

Not a shame really. If WA can do it then i would think NSW/QLD/VIC/SA can do it bigger and better.
Im surprised NSW being the largest paintball state cant organise a fund raiser like this. Maybe there has been some not 100% sure.
Believe me it was more fun than any tourny. FUN FUN FUN with a good cause.
Im sure this will be an annual event in WA.
Maybe your local paintball community can band together to have your own.
Damn well worth it.:thumbsup: Shheeeeesh we even had Jillibean and Pete and gary fly over. :respekt:

[ghostrider]

[RobKAOS]

My GOODNESS..........................awesome day

Ramus Cannus,....... KOUDOS buddy great job, even if you forgot tables and chairs........hehehehehe

Pete and Jill..................Thankyou very much............and...KEEP THE FAITH DUDES.

To the WA players that showed your face well done, it was huge to see all the new dudes there, i did expect more seasoned players to show but i spose they didnt.........WHATEVA

Thanks Paul Mavor....as usual this guy has put his hand up to help and is genuinely interested in pushing THE SPORT and jumped at the chance to help out a PAINTBALL CHARITY FUNDRAISER...........then again he has always had an awesome attitude.

FROGGY LA-SOY............this is your real captain speaking.........and your No.1 fan....Lift you game buddy.nuff said.:hammer:

Yes its true, G-Unit didnt make it to the field for one game so me and sammy turned our guns to fully ILLEGAL, played for G-Unit, Won, then lost on gun violations..............it was great!!!!......I think that game alone cost me $10 in penalties.........................I'm not sure what Gazza was thinkin whilst playing along side Sammy and myself, I do remember him shaking his head alot!!!!! :rofl:

GOOD JOB ALL INVOLVED................GOOD LUCK TO THE HIGGINS' FAMILY:thumbsup:

Sammy your paint rocked. im more than happy for you to shoot me anytime with your grey balls. I must say i thought i may have coped more from the sidelines though.

Ive got a good team name but not sure if i have a team. :lol: I think the world championship of knitting was on foxtel or something.:lol:
Actually seen as i was the only Alliance player there the name is hardly fitting isnt it.:p Yeah you boys know who you are.:lol:


Geetee awesome stuff, im in for photos. Cant wait for the article brother. :thumbsup:

I took a heap but on my ole camera with film. Any ideas on the best way to put on disc. Actually i did lose a film in a container so if found let me know.:thumbsup:

[SAMMYBOY]

[Woods]

The guy's did ring me a few times just to tell me that it was the
most fun they have had for a long time and that I was missing out
on a great day.

thanks to the refs, sam and all involved
the dvd player in the raffel is great. all the glass has TOBIAS '3' 07 on them
to those that did not get there ha ha:lol:

[ghostrider]

I agree, all you kids that didnt make it :no: you missed the best day of paintball ever guys.

Whens the next one. :armed:

[Woods]

I think Sammy's idea for having one each year
for a Cancer or some charity. Would be great
I'm shore we could get some media coverage for Paintball as a bonus
It would put paintballers into a different light

[Willendorf]

hold a competition, one in each state and the state that raises the most money for the day wins the right to choose from a pre decided group of charities as to which one gets the moolah!

[alien]

^^ thats awesome!

ahh your just afraid that you might lose ..... besides which , if each state chooses their charity BEFORE the tourney begins think of how much money these charities could get from 1 day!!! also it would gain MORE media coverage as a battle of the states


you guys have already had a trial run at it anyways hehehehe
:respekt: to all the guys that went and enjoyed the day and raised some money for a family in need :respekt:
