Hi JJJ,

This sounds great mate (we will be there :thumbsup: ), will you have 4500 Air as well?

:clap:
Working on the air - they have taken hold of the new compressor & its getting 3,000-3,500 ok but we are getting some further help on boosting that to the 4's. Stay tuned. As you know i am not very technical & struggle to put leggo together.

[JJJ]

Ok, the air field will be either the RPS Sup Air field or the new Extreme Rage field (thanx Big Gav & Timbo :thumbsup: )

Only non-staining paint will be allowed as per South Pacs & Masters rules.

Come on JJJ, it was a normal question, they apparently played really well at the AXL and seemed to struggle at the SAPPA event. Considering that the AXL is for super teams and demands much higher level of play, I was just interested to see if their line up was any different. You confirmed that it was.

No secret agenda, just simple curiosity.............. :thumbsup:

Yes, I was just stirring (from me not Mike :kiss: )- yours was a normal question but it is much more fun to have SWAT painted as the Super Bad Guys :thumbsup:

Every show needs a Villian! :lol:

[Hideous]

Scotty played with them at Rockhampton.
Other than that it was the same old team Severe/Tsunami.

SAPPA likes to keep the Goat Herders ( Div 1) away from The Men ( Div 2 )
so they don't mix and have babies.

Hideous's army >?>>> what the.... Yes we will field a whole team of HK wankers just to cause problems!!!!

[Action John]

How many teams so far?

[JJJ]

Approx 13-14 at this stage

[JJJ]

Adrenalin Paintball Sportz are puting this event on with the help of Total Eclipse.

Dead_Eye can even confirm the good fields and facilties.

[Deadeye]

This is one of the MUST ATTEND events of the year guys..it has potential to be huge...all us interstaters rocking in and with a lot of south australian teams around could be a 25+ team tournament easy.
The Hyperball fields are phat and there is going to probably be 2 Sweet airball fields!!
4500psi fills too you cant beat that:thumbsup:

The venue itself is like on the corner of 2 highways and theres bike tracks running all around it, a really good spot for exposure!

Hopefully ALL the teams going to NSW 5man and lots of WOTS teams will make the not to big a trip. Adeilaide goes off on the weekends too.

[Jamie_Cracker]

So guys how close is this place to the cbd of adeliade....which suburb is the best to stay at i would like to start to organise some accom..any motels nearby????

[OFS]

So guys how close is this place to the cbd of adeliade....which suburb is the best to stay at i would like to start to organise some accom..any motels nearby????
mick'o sheas is a good place to stay nearby however it only has a few rooms there is also the moana caravan park which is good only about 5 min drive :thumbsup:

[Jamie_Cracker]

thanks mate but i am thinking more along the lines of a motel with air conditioning and stuff like that.....my pampered pussycat players need a bit of luxury..and so does the captain

[OFS]

then the mick'o sheas is the way to go but you best book as soon as :thumbsup:

[Rainman]

does it have a pool and a spa?
And its not just a pub with accom is it? :no: :thumbsdow

[Mike]

Yes us older guys on S.W.A.T. like our creature comforts now, especially after playing paintball all day against people young enough to be our children.... :cry:

S.W.A.T. will be there!!!!!

[Deadeye]

It isn't far from town at all..maybe 10mins if that.

[Rainman]

distance isn't the problem, how about the luxuries?

[Deadeye]

Yeah Id like to stay at a semi nice place with a pool etc the place i stayed at last weekend was not bad but didn't see a pool.

[Jamie_Cracker]

gotta have a pool so we can drink beers in it

[WAH11]

You guy's are keen!!!
It will be in june in South Australia.
When i lived there it was f#@k*%# cold in june. :eek:
Why would you want a pool??? :confused:

[skip]

yeah guys it will be fairly cold in june.

[Deadeye]

we wanted a heated pool:yes:

[Rainman]

how about an indoor heated pool then.it soothes the aching body after a hard days paintball, something you young folk no nothing about yet, but wait till you are our ages.

[OFS]

There is motels at mclaren vale with heated pools and luxuries like that (15 mins from field)
Also the Saint Francis Winery Hotel/Motel at reynella has pools/spas and heaps of cool stuff about 15mins from field :thumbsup:

[Jamie_Cracker]

so guys what is the actual suburb that the field is in?????

[OFS]

hackam. corner of southern express way

[Jamie_Cracker]

thankyou

[OFS]

no worries. this is great for me although i wont be playing cos ill just get smacked and dont have a 7man team it will be cool to meet everyone and put all the names to faces :) :)

[Jamie_Cracker]

we can still smack you if you like

[Jamie_Cracker]

what are some of the surrounding suburbs all my search stuff doesnt seem to like it

[Jamie_Cracker]

ummm is it hackham by chance???

[OFS]

surrounding suburbs are seaford rise and seaford, moana,noarlunga and old noarlunga and reynella.

[OFS]

we can still smack you if you like
nah ill be right :)

[Deadeye]

oh come on thats a poor attitude OFS..all the sappa teams shouldn't be scared..just get out there and play! just like a 6th sappa round but bigger and better than the rest:D

[OFS]

oh come on thats a poor attitude OFS..all the sappa teams shouldn't be scared..just get out there and play! just like a 6th sappa round but bigger and better than the rest:D
i would but not enough cash and bling :(

[Deadeye]

ok that is a fair enough reason then..but still try save your pennoies and play..will be a big learning expierience.

[OFS]

i probably wont be able to save that quickly considering im still ordering gear and stuff :( but i will start saving to travel and play interstate :)

[JJJ]

For accomodation needs just give Scotty Stokes (the event organiser) a call & he can chase down prices & availability for you.

His contact number is 0400856899

[Jamie_Cracker]

thanks JJJ..

[JJJ]

thanks JJJ..

Make him work for you

[Jamie_Cracker]

mate i have seen scotty work.....he does enough for all of us...is glenelg to far away to stay at??

[I.R.Three]

is glenelg to far away to stay at??

Its about 20-25 min away.

What teams are coming to this??? :confused:

[skip]

is glenelg to far away to stay at??
nope doesnt take long from there at all. And at least you will be near some good places to eat and drink :beer:

[Deadeye]

yeah glenelg is pretty sweet id be happy to stay there

[JJJ]

mate i have seen scotty work.....he does enough for all of us...is glenelg to far away to stay at??

a good spot and just down the road from my new house which is in Glenelg!

Remember to get cracking on this after the JT 5-man.

Ring Scotty & he will help you organise things. He has a great set up and this should be a great comp & lead up to the rest of the major 7-s. :thumbsup:

[CDG]

Going to be a great tourny.... Scotty and Lawence have been working hard and there are more improvments to the field and pit areas every time we go there.... :thumbsup:


a good spot and just down the road from my new house which is in Glenelg!


If you guys stay at Glenelg then once you get kicked out of your hotel it's only a shot walk to stay at JJJ's house... :yes:

[JJJ]

Teams wanting to play this comp please call Scotty Stokes & confirm with him ASAP as he wants to hear from you all.

His number is 0400856899 or (08) 81866444

Scotty can help chase down accomodation needs but he needs to know who is coming.

Scotty has also set a cut-off date of Thursday the 26th of May for deposits.

[Deadeye]

JJJ can we get a team list started..might encourage people to come if they know who else is going, hopefully all of the sappa teams show up?!?!

[Hardcore]

If anyone can get me there, without being strangled for skipping my engagement party, I'm there.

[skip]

easy, dont tell anyone where your going, come down here for the torney and then get stangled when you get back.
And why would you have an engagment party on a tourney weekend any way?

[I.R.Three]

WELT is there.. Who else. Let get cracking..

[Rainman]

Is this event still on? Any confirmation?

[Big Steve]

We have been told that this event has been cancelled, by Deadeye is this confirmed or a wild rumor???? :help:

[Rainman]

Thats why I asked Steve, because Deadeye told me too. :o and I have heard stories about him... :eek: :lol:

[Big Steve]

I'd suggest that we throw him into Knackers basement until we get the truth out of him but Knacker's has too high a standards to let Ethan and the peanut butter eating French poodle in :lol:

[Barnesy]

Any confirmation on whether this is still going ahead :confused:

Just about to book flights, and already booked accomodation... don't want to spend those $$$ if it's not on :(

[P.K.]

Just spoke to Scotty Stokes, the event definetly has not been cancelled.

Just a reminder the cut off for entries is the 26th May.

[Rainman]

HMMM interesting.

[Deadeye]

sweetness..cant wait to play!!!

[JJJ]

Just spoke to Scotty Stokes, the event definetly has not been cancelled.

Scotty is the organiser guys & girls.

If your in doubt give him a call on (08) 8186-6444 & ask him any questions you or your team needs to know i.e how many teams he has coming, accomodation etc.

[Electrofunkster]

come on guys .. get onto scottie ... we want to come down ..

It would be a real shame if this even got canceled cause of lack of local support.

[Deadeye]

all u sappa teams get your gear together and play! there was 16 teams at the last sappa..almost all of them should be going to the event. Support events in your own state for goodness sake.

[JJJ]

Eclipse will be reffing :cry:

[P.K.]

Ballistic will be there, although due to the large number of recruited mercinaries we will probably be changing our name,

Something like "Hunting Enigma" or "Killing Enigma"...

[TRENT]

Sandbag Destroyers could also be another good one.

Have Welt signed up yet? Can we get a list of who had signed up at the moment?

[JJJ]

so far the locals who have registered are:

Team TYTO
Welt
Tsunami
Ballistic

Others who have logged their willingness are 2 Victorian teams plus Shock & SWAT.

Thats 8 so far & Scotty has said he will run with 10.

So others who I havent mentioned ring him.

And like Dead_Eye said, other SAPPA teams should jump at this opportunity (looking at Night Shade; Kaoz & Enigma)

Cutt off date is fast approaching.

Oh yes, and Eclipse is still reffing :cry:

[bunkerboy]

Not sure at this stage if Enigma will be attending, as much as I'd love to. At the moment 20% of our team is injured and we still have to fill two more spots.

And Trent, get over yourself, it's getting really old now.

[Deadeye]

well youve got 3 weeks to find players..you can do it:thumbsup:

[Legs]

I can likely play E-banc... would I be better off playing sappa first?

As I see it, either way its gonna be a big learning curve.
And since when was TYTO going to E-banc?? I didnt think OFS could go and that leaves only 4 players. need 7, right?

paintball is paintball Legs. Either formatt will start you on the right road :thumbsup:

TYTO, only going on what Scotty has said. If they have called him then thats what they have done.

[TRENT]

And Trent, get over yourself, it's getting really old now.

Only Old cause you have been in AM's for so long. :whip:

Even I am steping up to where the real action is. Victorious is a great example of fairly new players playing with the big guns and doing well.

Back on Topic, come one SAPPA team's! Whats the go Nightshade, Cyclone, KAOZ. Maybe even Young Guns could put a team in. :thumbsup:

[skip]

KAOZ are unable to attend the event as a team but some players may be guesting on other teams.

[OFS]

i didnt know that TYTO were supposed to be playing e-banc :confused:

[MG1100]

I know the guys & girl (go Donna ) FROM TYTO are looking forward to SAPPA rnd 3 ,with some more competitive gear thanks to HOTSHOTS,but this is the first I have heard about them playing E- BANK :rolleyes:

[Deadeye]

plz note funky speaks only on his own behalf:p

[Electrofunkster]

what I didn't say anything ... ???

shhhhhh

[Big Steve]

Are we there yet? :dance: Are we there yet? :dance: Has enough teams registered? :cry: If not then hurry up because this tourny will rock! :armed: :bundy:

[Barnesy]

Yes this tourney will rock if it goes ahead :respekt: need to know ASAP so can book airfares as cheap as possible :yes:

[TRENT]

It wont happen I think, No more TYTO, Shock or SWAT. Save your money for other major tourneys this year.

[OFS]

It wont happen I think, No more TYTO, Shock or SWAT. Save your money for other major tourneys this year.
TYTO was never registered anyway

[noduff]

Why is it not going ahead? Is the field closing down?

[Barnesy]

It could still go ahead; but without Shock, Swat & Tyto I think there's probably only about 5 registered & confirmed teams.

Needs a min. of 10 teams for this to go ahead... not looking likely at this stage coz rego. closes next week

[CDG]

Why is it not going ahead? Is the field closing down?

Thats a Stupid thing to say... :hammer:

The number of teams will be the issue not the field...

[JJJ]

Why is it not going ahead? Is the field closing down?

very poor comment - is there a Sup Air or air compresssor at your local field yet? :hammer:

As Trent & CDG stated its a number of teams issue.

Dissapointing given the amount of support Scotty has thrown into other localy run events: playing, lending sup air barricades, & helping to build ammenities.

Hats off to the support from the Vics (hard for SA to say that) & locals such as Welt, Balistic & Eclipse & SAPPA President for message of support. :thumbsup:

[Big Steve]

With one day to go how is the team list going???

[Deadeye]

I know that one Vic team unfortunately had to pull out

[T-unit=BJ]

This not good we I want to play :no:

[skip]

Is this event still going ahead?

[P.K.]

Ballistic will be there.

Hope we've got someone to shoot at...

[T-unit=BJ]

Thats what I'm talking about, very pumped up for this Pete, and also very proud to be apat of Ballistic's

[Big Steve]

Any word on this Toournament? Is there enough teams to make it worth going ahead?

[T-unit=BJ]

Stevie the word is it going ahead regardless of numbers so start packing

[JJJ]

Stevie the word is it going ahead regardless of numbers so start packing

Is that what Scotty the organiser has stated?

[P.K.]

thats what scotty told me

[Gupt]

I saw Scott today, I went down and he said that they are still going ahead so I hope people will turn out. Im looking forward to seeing people after such a long time out of the game! Who is coming from Victoria? Your still coming right?

[JJJ]

hmm, IR Three who plays with the co-organiser has indicated that there will be no tourny - some mixed messages here.

[P.K.]

I hope you're not right with only 11 more sleeps to go!

[Barnesy]

too many mixed messages appearing here :mad:

I had to pull the plug on our team :cry: with airfares going up too much so close to the event me & some of the boys could no longer afford to play this tourney :mad:

We should be at the SAPPA Rd3 in July, but if the event does go ahead I only know of maybe 1 or 2 Vic's still willing to travel for it :eek:

We were willing to support the event :yes: but sadly not enough other people were as willing to see this go ahead :no:

[I.R.Three]

hmm, IR Three who plays with the co-organiser has indicated that there will be no tourny - some mixed messages here.

Thats funny, so do you.

[JJJ]

Thats funny, so do you.

exactly, it is only getting too confusing :cry:

[JJJ]

This event has been officially cancelled by Scotty & Lawrence due to lack of deposits.

They wish to thank all those who supported this event to try & get it off the ground.

[P.K.]

If this is right its a very sad day for Tourney Paintball in SA. :cry: :cry:

[P.K.]

:cry: confirmed :cry:

[Legs]

Poo on a stick with legs that destroy pie and eat heads. :cry:

[Rainman]

South Australians.....pffffftttttttttt :no: Unless its sappa they don't wanna know about it. :hammer: :help:

[Legs]

go kick yourself rainy :o

[Rainman]

Sorry for speaking facts.

It is actually really good to hear that a few Sa teams will be travelling to the South Pacs.. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: to those teams. :yes:

Ahh Shit I was really looking forward to playing on Scotties field again. :hammer: :hammer: Big Respect :respekt: :bow: mate sorry this didn't happen. :cry: :cry: It looked like it was going to rock :armed:

[Wayno]

I just read the first few pages of this thread and it sounded like this tourny was going to be huge..heaps of teams saying they will be there....What happened ??

[Deadeye]

Only 2 or so of the 16 sappa teams got behind it, W.A had a wots(not anymore) planned for the same date, and no queensland teams could be stuffed travelling or were short on cash after the JT cup. Unfortunate cause it would have rocked:(
