[Deadeye]

Severe Effect will be there along with a Victorian team for the State of Origin, sounds awesome cant wait!

[R.I.P.S.]

Mike,

is there any format laid out for who captains the State teams?


Pete

[Deadeye]

states would choose their own captains I would presume Pete, Vic and S.A alreday have our teams and captains picked out we all just voted on it.

[R.I.P.S.]

ok cool

[Big Gav]

Well Funky Squad are as good as there.

[TRENT]

Fallout will be there, representing VIC in AM Division.

[Andrew]

[Tom]

[TRENT]

[Souse]

Unfortunately they both clash and I know the Masters wasnt on last year but it has been on the first weekend of november for ever.

[Electrofunkster]

Us Cairns lads will be there, we are starting to save now (pfft, 'sif thats gonna happen) but we will mortgage our families if necessary to get there. Cant wait to catch up with everyone from the townsville tourney and meet all the bills personalities and put faces next to avatars.

[Deadeye]

[Mike]

Victoria :Tyddy (Anthony Tydd from The Jetts) 0408 574 227
South Australia : ???Does anyone have a contact number for Scotty Stokes?
Tasmania : Yzo (A*** C**** from the Muppets) 0400 335 831
New South Wales : Fat Tony (John from Action Paintball) 02 9679 0011

I hope this passes all the hassles to these guys.

If you want to represent your state you know who to call..................

Regards,

Mike

[Mike]

The $200.00 entry for the 10 man State of Origin is for the Whole team (that works out at $20.00 per player) not $200.00 per player.

[Deadeye]

will state of origin be each team plays the others once?

[Mike]

Give a couple of days to work out a draw, I am thinking each team plays each other twice, and top two teams play a best of three final............
This means that you will play at least 8 games, depending on YzO finding 9 other guys from Tasmania (then you will play 10 games) plus if you make finals another 3. All in one day.


10 man format
Centre Flag
7 minute games
each team can have 2 reserves for their team. (12 players total)

First place - a great big friggen shield to defend each year.

This is not an APPL sanctioned event, I am not too sure what the APPL will be doing so I am going to do this as I see fit............................... :lol:

So it will be a "We Say So Event", why?

because we say so.................................. :thumbsup:

more info to follow................................

[Deadeye]

awesome. 3 days straight of hardcore paintball...i sense some sweet cramps:D

[Tom]

hey mike seeing those i wont make it in to the nsw team can players opt to play for tassie I can forge up a fake tassie drivers license if ya want

[Mike]

You would want to talk to Yzo first dude....................... to see if you would pass for a Tasmanian......................................... :kiss: :kiss:

[R.I.P.S.]

Gav,

will you be holding trials for the QLD team, if so where and when?

Pete

[TIMMAH]

The $200.00 entry for the 10 man State of Origin is for the Whole team (that works out at $20.00 per player) not $200.00 per player.
what about the 7 man

[TIMMAH]

I'm going to practice shooting muppets at every training run between now and then :lol:
could there be a stuffed muppet instead of the flag

[R.I.P.S.]

so how is each state picking their teams, is there going to be trials for each state or will it just be Team Captains and a few of their mates, but we'll call it the state team?

just a thought... any captain care to comment?

just to add so people realise I'm not just trying to get a rise out of a couple of ya! As we have a reasonable time frame to sort this out the more proffessional we are about it then the more proffessional front we can take to the ASC (Australian Sports Commission) when lobbying to have paintball recognised as a sport. If each state can document the process of sourcing the state team and we can approach the ASC with this info... how good will it look?

Perhaps each State team should have a Captain & Coach?

Pete

[Yzo]

just a thought... any captain care to comment?

Pete


yes pete i will comment :rolleyes:

team tas will be me and the first 9 people who can stand up straight, hold a paintball marker and afford to make it to sydney :D

[Knackers]

yes pete i will comment :rolleyes:

Well I know Im not gonna get picked for the Qld State of origin side so Team Tas here I come.

Oh & Mike are you gonna make yourself available for Qld or are you a Cockroach now? :evil

[Souse]

Well I know Im not gonna get picked for the Qld State of origin side so Team Tas here I come.

Oh & Mike are you gonna make yourself available for Qld or are you a Cockroach now? :evil


I'm thinking team Tassie might be the go

[R.I.P.S.]

edited... see my last post!

[Deadeye]

Tyddy is taking votes by email for the victorian team and is going to coem down to a training day and watch everyone play or so I believe to see whos in form etc

[R.I.P.S.]

Nice one Tyddy... my only thought with that is, some of the best talent in this country is probably yet to be discovered, they may not get a vote cause people in the loop dont know them!

Don't get me wrong that format is admirable but why not use this an an exercise to bring out some new blood into the top end of the game...

just my thoughts...

Pete

[Yzo]

and if you dont make it dont whinge behind peoples backs. thats where bad stuff starts. :no:

work on your game and make the team in 2005. :yes:

[Whitey]

I just spoke to Gav and we do have a captin coach format going, Gav's the Captin and I'm the Coach (Whitey). Gav and I have discussed our strategy which will be revieled soon enough.
I would like to say that, the people/players which have played and made an impression at the top level in Australia will be considered first. I think this is only fair, we are out to win this event.
We will be looking for combinations, players which have played together before or still do, past history, current level of play, what position they play (we don't want all point players).
As it has been said it will need a lot of planning and I assure you it won't be jobs for the boys.


And Mike is playing for NSW it's not state you started to play it's where you currently reside. Mike's a turn coat.

[Knackers]

And Mike is playing for NSW it's not state you started to play it's where you currently reside. Mike's a turn coat.


Ok we should change it to "The State You Reside In Tournie"

:hammer: The cockroaches :hammer:

[Neil]

If Tyddy is coming to a training day, where will it be held?
Not all Victorian paintballers play at the same field, some play in one place, others in the other.
Not trying to be a smart arse or start trouble at all but some will not go to the other field (Damm paintball politics! :cry: ).
If he is to in any way choose a team he needs to attend a training day at both venues. :eek:
Just my 2 cents....
Cya, Neil

[Deadeye]

i think recieving votes is just to get an idea of what to go off maybe. The problem with just votes like you said Pete we have some younger keen to learn and developing players in vic and they might lose their spots even though they play twice a month etc to players who havn't played since 01 and simply because those players would vote for each other and other stuff.

[R.I.P.S.]

the things is guys, As Tyddy is Captain and decides that the trials are at a certain place then thats it if you really want to play for your state then you will put aside all the bullshit polotics and make the trials...

perhaps this will be a great opportunity to build some bridges....

Pete

[Yzo]

Pete


how true that is.

everyone put aside the bullshit and if you dont make it. suck it up..

[Electrofunkster]

you afraid your not going to get a spot deadbin...

[Mike]

I have spoken to all the Captains except for South Australia ( I still do not have a candidate for captain for there, any help people?).

they all have one common goal, TO WIN!

None have any intention of just putting their mates on the team, and this will probably give them the most grief of all.

Dman from West Australia had a great system, he rang up all the big players etc over and got everyone to vote. the 11 guys with the most votes got in. so they have their team picked already. It must be fair Matho got in!
Now before you ring me Dave, that was a compliment! He was picked not because of anything political (if anything it would work against him) but because the guys knows how to play, he got in.

I suggest you let your relevent state captain know that you are available, if they have a training day or meeting, get to it, if you get in great, if not as said earlier suck the cherry, take it like a man, come out on the day and support your state. there is always next year!

By the way, no one wants to play with me, either my birth state (QLD) or the poor bastards that have had me for the last 20 years (NSW). they have already both rejected me (NO! you should play for the other state). Just goes to show they don't know talent when they see it :fu: :fu: :fu: I hope Tasmania. wins :lol:

Looks like I will be reffing all three days.

Again if you have any questions then please feel free to call you relevent state captains.

P.S. With over 6 months to go I do not think it is too much to expect that each state will have their own jersey..........................................

[Deadeye]

wasn't talking about me..they have to have me without a token bigmouth on the team it will suck. Me thinks you should be worried about getting yourself a spot on your one.

[Mike]

Electro wont get in, hes not pretty enough :dance:

[Electrofunkster]

I dont understand ... Swat + greatest team out ... All of them are ugly as sin .. Except ActionJohn... (he's picking the team) so I should fit right in ...

[Yzo]

Team Tasmania are taking the liberty of having 1 interstate player.

Namely knackers!!

:help: hey we need at least one person with some experience so at least everyone on the team knows 'their primary baricade' and we have some evil tactics.. :D


LET THE KNACKERS IS USELESS JOKES BEGIN :lol:

[Deadeye]

man dont let Knackers on your team you will have to carry him:p

[speede]

I just read Queenslands mission statement on this 10 man. Item 43b subsection (w) states no whinging poms can play. :yell:

[Knackers]

I just read Queenslands mission statement on this 10 man. Item 43b subsection (w) states no whinging poms can play. :yell:

Well there goes Ians hopes then :p

[R.I.P.S.]

Speede.

your still alive then? and i'm going out on a limb him in assuming you are taking the piss, but alas anyway I have given up playing for this year at least, and really i'm just trying to give opinions and options so that the shit fights don't have a chance to start!

Pete

Nice try huh! But i'm sure the shit fights will begin anyway..., even if it means people will just start throwing it at me...

[speede]

Yes Pete
Be around for coffee next week

[R.I.P.S.]

sounds good!

as for the State of Origin... Mike - Good stuff could be the event of the year!

Pete

[Wayno]

Just to add a bit to what Mike said....Dman contacted a number of people around W.A. People who are in the sport now, people who run fields, play at the top level and are in the scene. All from various teams and/or fields. These people gave Dman a list of who they themselves thought were the best CURRENT players in our fine state. He polled the votes, it actually was tight between alot of people which called for more voting between the guys who had tied.

And don't forget, just because someone wants to play for their state, which I'm sure we all do, they must commit to it from whenever the team is picked. It's hard to know what will be happening in 6 months, it's a tough call..to say yes now and then 2 months down the track you have to approach your captain and tell him sorry, I can't go ! I think the guys who really want to be in it will make the effort to go to these trials or training days as long as plenty of notice is given and a central location is selected.

My 2 cents.

[Wayno]

Oh...and if you don't make it in..don't bag the guys who have been selected as Captains...put yourself in their shoes.

[JJJ]

Damn, how come I didnt get picked for WA?

[Yzo]

there would be hell to pay if i didnt get selected for tasmania :mad: :yell:

[Mike]

How funny would that be? :lol: :lol: :lol:

sorry YzO, your peeling the oranges dude!

[Pyro]

Het Yzo I'll play in Team Tassie. We all know Knackers needs all the help he can get. Count me in dude.

[Big Gav]

Wow I haven't loged in for alittle while and look at what I missed. Qld as a vast dept of talent to choose from so lucky we've got 6 months to sort it out. Between Whitey in north Queensland and me in the South East every one should get a look in. I'll start a thread for the Queensland team next week. But if you know you will make youself available give it some thought. We'll be looking for 4 front players fast tough surviors, 3 Backer rock solid paint throws with a good set of lungs and 3 Game breaking mid fielders something Queensland has in abundance. I'd like to see the players selected to suite the team than a team picked to suite the players.

[Whitey]

Good call Gav we'll talk next week it's not going to be easy, I've spoken to a few of the NTH Qld mob, haven't promised them anything just gave them options.

I'll give Mike a call and see what format he is going to run finals, how many games that sort of thing,

Rember guys this is 10 man a lot more paint in the air than 7 man for those people that haven't played or see 10 man it is a paint fest.

[Big Gav]

Not just that but a 10 player centre flag, what sort of evil bastard thought that up????

[TRENT]

Are we using a proper 10man size field? It's 100m x 40m. I think 10man field also have 40+ bunkers which means it is crazy. Watch the Chicago Ten Man if you get a chance.

[Wayno]

Damn, how come I didnt get picked for WA?

We have a strict policy J....our players must have 2 eyes :lol:

I have a feeling with 6 months of build up this State thing is gunna ROCK ! :thumbsup:

[Wayno]

I'll give Mike a call and see what format he is going to run finals, how many games that sort of thing,


Mike mentioned playing everyone twice (5 teams WA, VIC, NSW, SA and QLD) so that's 8 games..then top 2 best of three finals. Sounds good to me.

[Dman]

Hi Dman here WA Captain, I chose 7 players from different teams and fields accross WA, I asked them to submit what they would consider the top 11 paintball players in WA, from thier responses I created a list of players, for each player that got a mention they recieved 1 vote. The players that recieved the most votes upto 7 were put aside, I continued the voting (with what players that were left) with the 7 players until I ended up with 11 of WA's finest players.

I hope this helps it worked for us.

Regards Dman

[TRENT]

You are forgetting Tasmania! I can certainly see them fielding a team even if its just Yzo and 9 Sluts.

[kinundrum]

mike

can we put in a NQ side for the state of origin?


im sure the A+ guys are in for it!

[-=Synergy=-]

why not just call it Adrenemesis +????

p.s can we have a FNQ TEAM . :lol: :lol:

[Tom]

yes pete i will comment :rolleyes:

team tas will be me and the first 9 people who can stand up straight, hold a paintball marker and afford to make it to sydney :D


i'l be up for playing for tassie

[The Buddhist]

Looks like Yzo is going to be the captain of the Tasmanian All Stars

I'm so glad that Mike is not playing for Qld as that allows me to be up for selection for the NSW team as I'm sure you all area aware that Malaysia is NOT a state of Oz. :thumbsup: :lol:

[Eco Warrior#1]

we are up for an NQ team aswell

[Tom]

isnt shock and swat reffing the three days of fun

[Jamie_Cracker]

does wollongong count as being part of NSW?????do i have to ref or can i play in the 10man???

[The Buddhist]

What do we have to reff the 10 man as well?? No way man....us refs will require one day of paintball pleasure....it's in our contract.........somewhere...

[Jamie_Cracker]

if anyone wants air it will be in the contract

[Tom]

we are up for an NQ team aswell

can we have a western sydney team as well.

[Jamie_Cracker]

nope we hate mullets

[Eco Warrior#1]

West Syd isnt a seperate state, NQ should be

[Jamie_Cracker]

yeah it should be,hell it should be cut off the rest of australia and sunk

[Crazy]

mike

can we put in a NQ side for the state of origin?

Well then I want a pissed team as THAT'S the state I want to be in.
Can't get on the filed but by then who will care :D

[MICK]

Dry your eyes angel :rofl: :rofl:

[Tom]

nope we hate mullets
what about flannos.

[Eco Warrior#1]

bitch

[itsme_vd]

Didnt you have fun up here last weekend Jamie????

[TYDDY]

I hear what you are all saying re Pete Martin. I cant pick my friends I have none. This is how i ended up playing with freaks from around the country.
I will be taking votes from anyone in vic and will YES be getting down to Melbourne to see them train.
The victorian stable is quite small but full of Quality. not all of them may want or more to the point afford to go. but i am sure from the state with the crappiest paintball laws will flow the Smoothest, Stylish, Goodlook"n Blar Blar Blar.
I am sure we will open your eyes.

[R.I.P.S.]

Tyddy, out of anyone in this whole thing mate, your judgement is something I would never question mate... seriously

[Mike]

Anyone from South Oz want to put there hand up to captain their state team, you will definately have less local friends by the end of selections :thumbsup:

Does anyone still play competitve paintball down there?

Can anyone even organise 10 players to leave their state? We know how hard it is to go across the border............................ :sleep:

[CDG]

Mike I think the reason SA players aren't willing to commit to anything yet is unless things change we currently have the last round of the SAPPA on the same weekend.

Maybe SAPPA dates aren't set in stone and things will change but (I'm guessing) most of the top players involved with SA paintball can't really put there hand up knowing it may cost there team a shot at our Div 1 title.

Maybe it was tounge in cheek but giving us a hard time about it probably isn't going to help.

[Knackers]

Yeah unfortunatly those dates clash & Its probably not fair to expect teams from SA to drop their local scene to play in a 1 off.

[TIMMAH]

what about the act

[Yzo]

P.S. With over 6 months to go I do not think it is too much to expect that each state will have their own jersey..........................................


Team Tasmania Reserve the right to use any jersey they see fit including all smart parts jerseys, redz, empire, evil and dye jerseys ® ..

and

The right to sue any other team who are copycats ® 2004 :lol:

[Mike]

No worries guys, it is not compulsory for every one to come. Just the ones that want to play the Masters or compete in the State of Origin. If there is no South Aussie S.O.O. team, then that makes my day and that of all the refs on the Friday a little shorter. Thanks in advance. :thumbsup:

I sincerely wish SAPPA the best, hell, we (S.W.A.T.) will play at least one SAPPA event this year. There are no hard feelings. :bigparty:

Regards,

Mike

p.s. in relation to the state laws in NSW, we spoke to the main advisor for the NSW Police Commissioner last week and he is advising the him to change our laws in line with the rest of the country immediately.........Ho Ya!

[Mike]

Oh and yes.................. I was tongue in cheek CDG :kiss: I usually am.

[Action John]

Hey Jamie, why dont we make the air for the state of origin $1000 per player per fill and you can sponsor the NSW team and you can play for NSW too! :thumbsup:

[TRENT]

Come on we need an offical comment from someone on the sappa committee. Please change the date as i know of 2 teams that i think would prefer to play masters over sappa even if we are in the running for the series.

[CDG]

Oh and yes.................. I was tongue in cheek CDG :kiss: I usually am.

It's all good Mike.... :thumbsup:

I know SA seems to cop alot of shit about not travelling... I'm hoping it will help to keep the abuse from flying across Bills when people know what the situation is.

Cheers
Chris

[Mike]

Yes, they (the South Aussies) cop a fair bit of flak about not travelling, but it is probably justified because they don't out of their state very much.

[Deadeye]

excluding team welt who are cool and travel.

[Chief Wiggum]

Considering that the SAPPA round 4 dates were posted at least 2 months before this Masters event was organised, I think it unfair that we drop our event and fly over to sunny QLD to play a 1 off. If SAPPA can be changed, you might see a team, but the committee will have to get together and sort it out.

If you want a contact for SA contact Adamage and he may help.

[Electrofunkster]

Considering that the SAPPA round 4 dates were posted at least 2 months before this Masters event was organised,

1. the masters are on the same date EVERY year and have been for many years ...


I think it unfair that we drop our event and fly over to sunny QLD to play a 1 off.

2 If you do you will miss both events Sydney is a city in NSW not QLD ??? :eek:

[Deadeye]

Electro the masters have always been an APPL event have they not? And again the APPL isn't running this year so therefore Sappa planned an event on a date where no tournament was scheduled for.

[Electrofunkster]

oh for christ sake shut the hell up deadbin

[Deadeye]

or maybe you should just think before you post and try be a smart ass!

[JJJ]

Look the Masters has not always been a APPL event.
The Masters, along with the South Pacs, are events with a long history in Aus.
The Masters has been on the same date each year except for last year.
I think SA teams like the South Pacs because they have won that event a couple of times whereas the Masters is a different story.

[Chief Wiggum]

Nothing like a heated debate.

I dont really care what tournament has been around longer than the other, just dont expect SA teams to drop everything and run up there when we had our year planned. I would rather play SAPPA and support the league that has been running for the last 2 years than do a one off event in not so sunny Sydney. Thanks for the geography lesson Electro, it was a typo.

[Souse]

Who cares if they both fall on the same weekend. It just means people will have to make a choice.

Paintball wins either way. And you guys arguing with Electo makes you as stupid as he is.He's like a bad case of the clap he just never goes away.

[Wayno]

Wow...bit of a dilema boys....I agree with Souse, one weekend, 2 tourneys, make your choice. It's a toughy though..having played in SA, those boys do a good job and the Masters is an excellent event also with the Action boys doing what they do best. But it would be great to see SA put in a team for the State of Origin.

[Chief Wiggum]

Who cares if they both fall on the same weekend. It just means people will have to make a choice.

Paintball wins either way. And you guys arguing with Electo makes you as stupid as he is.He's like a bad case of the clap he just never goes away.

Look I agree totally. Not trying to start an argument, I have no problem with the masters and good on em. Hope everyone has a ball. And yes I agree that some people will have to make a choice.

My point is this;

SA players always get bagged for not turning up to interstate evenets. If you find that not many SA teams turn up to the masters, it will be because the SAPPA is the same weekend. So dont bag us this time, its not our fault.

Thats what I was trying to say. Sorry if anyone was offended.

[Mike]

Everyone please stop bagging each other.........that is my job! :thumbsup:

Yes, except for the Excellent guys in Team Welt, most of the other ladies do seem to have a problem travelling interstate. I know that the SAPPA event is on the same weekend and for that I am sorry.

I did not put the Masters on the same weekend as any event in S.A. to burn you guys or SAPPA but I had to put it on the same weekend as it has been on for many years.

Hopefully you can put all your detractors down by actually turning up to Gav and Tims for the South Pacs. If you don't go there either then you will prove a lot of people right. It is up to you guys now. :thumbsup:

[PAINTBALL PETE]

HELLO TO ALL :D

:confused: It's simple to decide, if you want to play against most of the best this country has to offer (swat and shock are reffing), plus teams from o/s and learn something that will benefit what you love. And be reffed by some of the best. Head to Sydney for that weekend in November. :thumbsup:

I AM


ME :angel:

[TRENT]

:cry: :cry: :cry: The Dilema. Us Vic's love our paintball. We wanna play in masters and represent our state and play against the best of the best. Then on the other hand we have to go to SA and claim all there series throphies like we usually do. It's all a plan to stop us Victorians from taking the throphy home to Victoria I tell ya. ;)

[Chief Wiggum]

At least in Rd 4 we may get to keep the trophy in SA :)

[Sonic]

Argh, I'm reffing! Thanks for reminding me Pete! :(

:cry: :cry: :cry: The Dilema. Us Vic's love our paintball. We wanna play in masters and represent our state and play against the best of the best. Then on the other hand we have to go to SA and claim all there series throphies like we usually do. It's all a plan to stop us Victorians from taking the throphy home to Victoria I tell ya. ;)

come to sydney the water is better :lol:

[Tom]

Teams that are traveling interstate for the masters if you are booking accomadtion early the places to look would be some hotels in windsor,Crown Plaza at norwest (kinda pricey) ,Rooty Hill Rsl ,Penrith Panthers,There is heaps of hotels in parramatta.I will make up a list with phone numbers if any one wants it

[Mike]

Anyone wanting a 2004 Paintball Masters Entry Booklet email me at

mike@actionpaintball.com.au or you can Ian or myself on 02 9679 0011

We will mail you one out.

More details to follow. :thumbsup:

[Yzo]

hey mike, where is that slut jamie?? hes not been on here for ages.

is he still pissed off your makin him ref? :o

[skip]

damn that 18 year old law :hammer: :cry:

[Jamie_Cracker]

naw Iam here everynow and then just waiting for my 1500kbps adsl to get hooked up,i have to use a mates computer for another 2 weeks
John I knew i like you for a reason I reckon that it is a really good idea

[TRENT]

I think Fallout may have to vote depending on our standing in SAPPA series after R3. Would love to win the series but also go to Masters for the experience. Guess we will just have to get onto SAPPA committee's backs to change date. They changed R4 date close to it. Plenty of time to do it again. PLLLEEEAAAASSSSEEEEE!

[Gupt]

Well ... i would be interested in playing in the masters for sure, but then again, as a South Australian residing in Victoria I would also like to win what is rightfully mine (SAPPA) and take it back home - bwahaha :lol:

I dont expect SAPPA to change their dates at all, thats there gig but it would be nice. Given the threat of losing both Divisions to victorian teams i dont hold much hope for that happening.

Rock on Fallout, see ya'll when i see ya!

:respekt:

[Deadeye]

Guys Guys Guys keep on topic:)

[-=Synergy=-]

hey tom that list would be great!!!
any idea on prices? far from field?

[Tom]

is there camping at field? :help: :help:

ill do it for you soon,not sure about the camping you best to ring action and ask

[Cpt.Krunch]

Action has room but its ALL paintball fields (53 acres of it). It's also only 30 min from the center of Sydney. Now unlike some of the villages you interstate people call "cities" Sydney is actually BIG, so 30min from the centre actually puts Action Paintball in suberbia.

There are camping grounds within 30min of Action however, dude save your money and rent a room.

JD

[JJJ]

Is action near the Opera house or bridge? Is there anything else to see in Sydney other than Subiaco Oval?

[Mike]

Yes Justin,

We are situated just under the Harbour Bridge next to Lunar Park.

Next Year I am going to run for Mayor! :thumbsup:

[leathel]

Is action near the Opera house or bridge? Is there anything else to see in Sydney other than Subiaco Oval?

Its just a short walk to Uluru.......well shorter then the bridge to Subiaco oval
:whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip:

[Camo]

hmmmmmm... i might be there, to watch and i maybe....play??? If I was to play and bring my own marker, do you have to inform any one, if your marker is from outta of NSW??

[GAV WA]

If the NSW laws were different (still a few months before the masters but I guess nowhere near enough) then this state of origen event would be an excellent way to get some media interest into the sport. State of origin events are always big news and this could be just the thing to really get a big article on the TV, especially being the first one ever in Aus. and maybe one of the first Paintball State or Origin events (I know Xball was a nations cup first off and is now supposed to be city based but this is a true state or origin, how many Miami players are from Miami) in the world, as far I can remember anyway, I'm sure Pete Martin could ellaborate more on weather this has been done in europe before.
Anyway I can't wait for it, 20 players on one field going nuts for their states honour, very cool.

[Mike]

I spoke to Wade from SAPPA on Friday and he has said that the SAPPA event will be moved to another date.

Thanks Wade :bow: :respekt: :thumbsup:

[Yzo]

sorry if this has been asked, but being the full nppl rules for the masters:

Clear hoppers Yes or No? :cry:

[Deadeye]

No Clear Hopper rule is an NPPL rule not PSP one:)

[Deadeye]

NPPL still isn't enforcing the rule, not til July. They are giving their players several months to fall into guidelines and dye their hoppers or get new ones. Perhaps Australian tournmement organisers will give us until 05 before the rule becomes effective.

Ok & Deadeye is Dumb also :hammer:

[Deadeye]

Im not organsing the Master am I Yzo so how could I. The rule has its merrits.

[Electrofunkster]

then stop POSTING YOU PENIS !!!!!!

[Deadeye]

I explained to yzo we are using NPPL rules not PSP and that the NPPL rules aren't fuctioning yet. It would serve you well to take a note from your own book Electro.

[Hardcore]

It would serve both of you to shut up. For our sakes.
Save it for the one on one grudge matches at the Masters.

[itsme_vd]

Question: does trhe clear hopper rule also include the smoked variety?

[Mike]

There are only a couple of rule changes from the NPPL that we will be doing.

So far

Clear and Smoke Hoppers are okay to use :thumbsup:
Bottle Covers are mandatory equipment (insurance requirement)
No jumping over bunkers (insurance requirement)

We want to keep it where possible exactly the same as overseas to allow people to get used to the one set of rules.

I will get a final copy of the new rules and make them available of our new website as soon as pos, in the meantime go to NPPL.tv and download the NPPL rules and......................start learning.

[Yzo]

No jumping over bunkers (insurance requirement)


i'll take on the risk. Yzo's Insurance Cons - err.. Pty Ltd..


everyone can now jump over bunkers#

# excludes everyone called jamie_cracker and certain breeds of moths

[Chief Wiggum]

Clear hoppers, YAY.

[TRENT]

How much extra to allow us to be able to put our backs out doing superman dives like on 300fps. I wanna mug deadeye like in the below pic.

[Chief Wiggum]

What about padding on jerseys? Looks like NPPL will introduce a rule stating that it is only allowed on elbows/forearms? Is this correct for us?

Snippet from NPPL.tv/rules

9.09 Padding in Jerseys
Padding in jerseys will be limited to the forearm and elbow only. Padding size will be limited to 4” in over all width and extend from the wrist to 4” past the elbow.
Padding Material will be limited to an ESTHERBASED OPEN CELL FOAM Backed with a NYLON TRICO at a maximum thickness of 3/16 or an APPROVED EQUAL

The Ruling made and enforced in the NPPL Super 7 World Series 2004 Huntington Beach event was done so on a temporary basis to allow the Rules committee adequate time to properly address the issue of padding in jerseys. If you currently own a jersey that does not meet the criteria in Section 9.09, the jersey may be altered by having the padding removed.

[TRENT]

Awww we love our c4 jerseys.

[Adamage]

The SAPPA members voted to shift the final round of the series, which fell on the same weekend as the masters. SAPPA round 4 will now be held two weeks later. This enables the victorian teams who play SAPPA and the SA teams to put forward state of origin teams. Also this helps the sport to grow as a whole as people don't have to compromise playing one tourney over another. They can do both - wallet withstanding.

[Hardcore]

Jolly good show.
You SA guys want an edge over us?
Just bottle some of your tap water and get us to drink it before the games.

"Too thick to drink, too thin to plough".


Any chance of bringing some Coopers up?

[Barnesy]

Thanks Adam,

Moving the date of SAPPA Round 4 was greatly appreciated by all of the Vic players :respekt: As most forget, we are also paid up SAPPA members so it was good that we also got a say in the vote. :thumbsup:

[BONES]

If all the states would like custom jersies I can have them made at a reasonable price. That is with what ever you want on them. Your own design, names numbers State flag sponsors' logos if you have them etc. Just let me know and I can either give you some templates to look at or you can do one yourself. If anyone is interested I can give you a quote just email me the details or just tell me what you would like and I may be able to help you design it. This is not just for state of origin but also if any teams are interested in getting their own custom jersey/pants, barrel socks, hats etc.

[BIG P NZ]

Hey guys help me out here, I need a B079 whatever permit for the marker at $75 AUD and then I need another permit for my halo at $75 AUD, is this correct, if this is correct then that cost more than the flight over, now what else will I need a damn permit for, air system, barrels,parts kits,tourney pants,boots,tops gloves, harness, pods, spare loader...or would be better to buy new over there and bring home..... guys your help please

[Jamie_Cracker]

call mike pete heis the man that knows the ins and outs of nsw law pertaining to paintball dont forget the permit for your undies as well

[Mike]

I believe the $75.00 permit is per individual dude, I would even suggest you could save some money by one guy bringing in his personal 3 guns for the event with only 2-3 guys paying the fee for the whole team.

I know $75.00 blows but this is what they charge all shooting competitors that come into Aussie, not just paintballers. PLus I know that in the past we would have paid anything to be able to bring our markers into this country with out any chance of losing them.

Call me dude if you need any more info or help with Customs or the Firearms Registry. I am happy to help anyone coming to the SouthPacs and or The Masters.

[Hardcore]

2 Questions:

What's for lunch?
And
What sort of media coverage are we looking at?

[Big Gav]

Got our teams air fares last night from Virgin Blue for only $39.00 each way how good is that :thumbsup: Get onto guys

[Jamie_Cracker]

thats a sweet deal

[Hardcore]

Dammit, that's almost worth flying to Brisbane and flying back into Sydney.

what about for interstate

[Raels]

We all got flights for $36 with Quantas Red Deals.

Only problem is that on top of that you have to pay airport taxes, stamp duty, etc and it ends up costing $59 each way.. :hammer:

[BIG P NZ]

Just booked my flight from the Sunshine coast to Sydney for $75 bucks.
(Thats great considering it costs $45 just to get from the coast to the brisbane airport by Bus).
