[CJD]

We are very proud to announce the creation of the "National 5s" tournament series, which will kick off it's first season in 2007.

We aim to make this the first truly national series in Australia, and we will be holding 4 rounds this year, each in a different state and each will be played in conjunction with a local tournament series...

- Round 1: Moama, NSW
- Round 2: Adelaide, SA
- Round 3: QLD (TBC)
- Round 4: Perth, WA

The details for this series are as follows, feel free to post any questions if I leave anything out...

- Entry is $1,000 per team
- Teams must register through the website (http://www.national5.com.au) and will be required to pay a $200 deposit by March 26th to confirm their attendance. Remainder of the entry fee is payable upon arrival.
- There will be one open division (but this may change depending on the number of teams)
- Each round will be a best of 3 games (may also change depending on numbers)
- Games will have 5 minute time limit. There will be a 2 minute turnaround between games for teams to repod/regas
- Top 4 teams at the end of prelims will go into a round-robin finals series

- The prize pool will be huge, and will be in the form of cash and paint. (First prize alone will be up to $10,000!!)
- Huge sponsors are on board, including WDP Angel, and National Paintball Supply (more to be announced shortly)
- Great product prizes will also be donated to the simultaneous local events
- Bottom line: The organizer is not looking to make a profit from these events. Once costs are covered (refs, setup etc), ALL entry fees go back into the prize pool.

- This is the first national BYO paint tournament in Australia! If you want to bring your own paint, we won't stop you!
* However, any persons found to be using paint that is deemed unsafe or otherwise unsatisfactory will have it removed, and may be removed themselves.
- A huge variety of paint will also be available for purchase in our on-site proshop, including; proto, v-comp, empire, dynasty, gap and rps

- An experienced reffing team, headed by Bones, will be present at each event in the series
- Each event will have a professional setup, featuring 4500psi push-button fills
- BBQ Lunch is supplied each day
- Field layouts will be posted at least a week before each event, and a music video will be released after each round
- Each event is a standalone event - ie: there is no end-of-season placings

For up-to-date details, or to register your team, go to www.national5.com.au (http://www.national5.com.au/main.html)

So there you have it, let the games begin!

[ghostrider]

Awesome cant wait.:thumbsup:

[pimpdog]

KRONIK will do all 4rnds if it runs pro & Div1...
As we are a Div1 team.

[Blobby]

Another ref crew????? cool ....

[Blobby]

but got to ask....no refs inc???

[CJD]

but got to ask....no refs inc???

Man I'm not stupid enough to go anywhere near that...

[Wayno]

Smart man...can't believe Blobby was dumb enough to ask..oh hang on, yes I can !!

Good luck CJD, Spence and the rest of the organisers...sounds awesome.

[CJD]

Thanks Wayno.

I still couldn't resist underlining "BYO paint tournament" in the second post though...

[Wayno]

No one could have mate !!! :lol:

[I.R.Three]

I would love to make at least 2 of these events.

[XLR8]

Will the perth round be as part of the gravity games

[Deadeye]

If hypothetically there were 9 teams entered, would the winning team be guaranteed $9,000?

Looking forward to round 1:thumbsup:

[Crusader]

Very intriguing series.

5-man.
Bones as head ref.
Big cash prizes.
BYO Paint!!!

...Very nice =P

And the guys from Moama do put on an excellent show (It would be wicked if you had a photographer filming the games to go with the music video =P)

The fact that each event is standalone is a big plus too imo, and well suited to the nature of paintball in Australia. Playing all four events won't be feasible for most teams, so why should they pay for prizes they won't be in contention for?

And as prizes go... Cash > Guns =P

Very tempting series indeed!

[GEETEE]

When And Where Is The Perth Event Going To Be...I need to know =)

[maddog]

so every team you play is best of three?what if you win the first 2 do you play a third?
and wouldnt a national series have a national champion?
cant have one without the other.

[Mr FAT B]

Will the perth round be as part of the gravity games

I think yes

[CJD]

Will the perth round be as part of the gravity games

Yes, round 4 will coincide with the Gravity Games.


And the guys from Moama do put on an excellent show (It would be wicked if you had a photographer filming the games to go with the music video =P)

We'll see what we can do...


so every team you play is best of three?what if you win the first 2 do you play a third?

Ok for those who haven't played the best-of-three setup yet, it goes like this:

You and team X square off. You win game 1 - you get 1pt, X wins game 2 - X gets 1pt, you win game 3 - you win 2-1. BUT, if you win game 1 & 2 - you get 3pts for a wash and there is no 3rd game. Got all that? Good!


and wouldnt a national series have a national champion? cant have one without the other.

It seems you can!

[XLR8]

Thanks for the reply cant wait

[Marco]

Very nice... even thought about the dates (At least for the first one).

[maddog]

Ok for those who haven't played the best-of-three setup yet, it goes like this:

It seems you can!

i do know how the best of 3 thing works, i have played the odd one. im not that stupid.
but the way i read it, its states best of 3 rounds, not finals, so you are meaning rounds in the tornie, not finals in a round of a single event in the national series? example 7 rounds possible 21 games?
if this is rounds in the tournie what countback system do you have in place cause i can see a bucketload of teams on the same points after the prelims.

so this will be the first national series but without a national winner?
seems someone misses out on bragging rights.

[BJM]

Finals all tourney long ? (I.E First to get 2 points) - Seems like it

What is the Finals setup, or is the winner the team with the most points at the end of the weekend.

[GEETEE]

So Is It Part Of Gravity Games or competing with Gravity Games???

[Aven]

So Is It Part Of Gravity Games or competing with Gravity Games???

I think it'll be part of it, because firstly it wouldn't make sense to have to worthwhile tournaments at the same time, and secondly because that's just mean if it isn't :p

Sounds like a great series, wish I could make it to all instead of just Perth.

[CJD]

What is the Finals setup, or is the winner the team with the most points at the end of the weekend.

At the end of the prelims, the top 4 teams will enter the finals. 1 vs 4, 2 vs 3, loser vs loser for 3rd/4th, winner vs winner for 1st/2nd. All match-ups will be a best of 3 just like the prelims.

No offence intended man, just trying to clear it up for anyone who might not know the routine. And yeah you got it right, if there are 7 rounds, you're guaranteed a minimum of 14 games up to a possible 21 games, plus finals.

As for countbacks, surprisingly enough we have very rarely had multiple teams finish on the same points, but eliminations and flag grabs/hangs are recorded in each game so that we can seperate them for finals.

for the prelims, are you running a time frame between the best of three games?
similiar to x-ball do you have a time limit? or do you go back kit up & back out in around 10-15 mins like a normal 5 man format?
and how many rounds do your want to run, depending on teams.

[CJD]

So Is It Part Of Gravity Games or competing with Gravity Games???

It will be part of Gravity Games. For the other 3 rounds, it will be a seperate tournament run at the same time and at the same place as a local event (eg. Round 1 is held alongside Round 2 of the Moama 3 Man). But for Gravity, it's impossible to run two events that big at the same time.

Man it's quote-city in here! I've never quoted people so much in my life.

Ok... Timeframes! Each game will have a 5 minute time limit, and teams will be allowed 2 minutes between each game to re-pod and re-gas. There will be several push-button fills just off the field, and the staging areas are adjacent to the field aswell so 2 minutes will be heaps.

Now... Rounds! Just like you say, this is all dependant on teams. We are expecting at least 15 teams, and at that number we want to run at LEAST 10 rounds for the 2 days, plus finals. We may be running two fields, so in that case we'll fit in a lot more rounds. The ultimate goal is for each team to play every other team at least once before finals - but if numbers are too big of course that will become impossible.

[T-unit=BJ]

CJD Sounds like great tourneys looking forward to playing in them !

[Grant]

Will be interesting to see how it goes. Games will have to be very quick since no pit stops in between games. its 1 or 2 minute turn around each game yes?

On another note how will both 3-man and 5-man events run on same weekend. We would need to pick one as we obviously wouldn't be able to play both would we?

As I said above (don't make me start quoting myself too - I'll go to sleep and dream about quote tags tonight), there'll be a 2 minute turnaround between each game.

As for the two events running together, they will be run at the same time (on seperate fields of course). All players are completely free to play both the 3 man and the 5 man - in fact many players are already planning to do so. The rounds in each competition will be worked around each other so that players can play both. The Moama 3 Man is a very affordable, friendly tournament - if you want more details go to tourneys.propaintballshop.com.au (http://tourneys.propaintballshop.com.au/main.html)

[ghostrider]

I missed the BYO PAINT bit. F##kn awesome guys. Hats off to you guys.

Thats what i love about W.O.T.S. series in W.A. bring your gear, your paint and leave the politics and field B/S behind.

Hopefully others may see the light :thumbsup:

[Flip]

Will be there Rd 1 with a few teams for sure.....looking fwd to it:thumbsup:

[XLR8]

Hey CJD has the Nat 5s website gone up yet

[CJD]

It has now!

Proudly introducing... (drum roll)

The National 5s Website (http://www.national5.com.au)

Check back there for all the up-to-date information on the series. Hope you all like the site!

[Deadeye]

Website looks great:thumbsup:

[Archie]

I like your work chris!

[CJD]

Thanks Shan.

I'd just like to let everyone know that a deposit of $200 will be required from each team to confirm attendance.

It is very important that all teams register for the event at the website:
http://www.national5.com.au

Once you have registered, you'll need to ring on 1300 733 333 and talk to Cameron to get your deposit sorted out. Deposits will need to be submitted at least a week before the event, so by March 26th.

Several teams are verbally confirmed for Round 1, but only 2 have registered officially so far - Victorious and Southern Storm. An up-to-date team list will be kept on the website for all to see.

So get your entries in!

[lump_a_charcoal]

Sounds like an awesome event! Best of luck with it, hope you can make a decent go of it!


Keep in mind that I don't want to start the whole BYO vs Field Paint war thing again - Do some brands of paint still use peanut oil or palm oil? I am just worried that with the rising amounts of people with allergies... Do you have any restricions on certain brands of paint in that respect?



Again, Awesome work on the series - Hope to be a part of it someday!

[Doc75]

bones:respekt: as head ref........................... gezz i wouldn't be able to hold back from shooting:armed: him he he he:lol: hi ya bones!!:rofl:

[pimpdog]

No team list up yet on the web site?

[CJD]

I will put the team list up on the site either today or tomorrow. It will be a tentative list only though, as I said above, only two teams have officially registered so far. Get your registrations in guys!

[pimpdog]

Did you get KRONIK's registration?

I sent it in last week...

I'll pay the $200 deposit on Monday...

Thanks...

[CJD]

Ok, the official team list has been started on the website, so head on over to http://www.national5.com.au (http://www.national5.com.au/main.html) periodically to stay updated.

So far 5 teams are officially registered for the event, as are listed on the site. Thirteen teams in total have voiced their intentions to play though, so we just need those teams to register through the site or by phoning 1300 733 333 to make it official.

If every tentative team registers, the list would look like...

Geelong Dragons (Vic) - registered
Geelong Extreme (Vic) - registered
Kronik (SA) - registered
Victorious (Vic) - registered
XLR8 (ACT) - registered
Evil WASP (WA)
DVS (Vic)
H.A.V.O.K. (Vic)
Tsunami (SA)
Uprising (ACT)
Cyclone (SA)
Kaoz (SA)
MIP (Vic)


Still 6 weeks away, the field is already looking good!

[CJD]

Would have liked to have seen that at Gravity.. but unfortunately it didn't happen. The Victorious that played AXL late last year was more of a Victorious/Tsunami hybrid team, so I'm sure many would like to see that matchup at National 5s in a non-Xball environment.

Yes many would including me.

[I.R.Three]

I had a quick look on here and didnt see this, but I see rd 1 of teh 5 man is a 2 day event starting on March 31st, which means that it would conclude on 1st April? If so I noticed that Rd 3 of teh 3 man is on the same day? Is this correct? If so how is this going to run and work? Thanks.

[XLR8]

both comps running at the same time, two fields, two days will be good fun.

[I.R.Three]

both comps running at the same time, two fields, two days will be good fun.

So you can enter both then? Play 5 man both sat and Sun and 3 man on sun? Is this correct?

[XLR8]

I think so Camel or CJD will confirm that.

Looking at dates hope to be there, format sound great:thumbsup:

[CJD]

So you can enter both then? Play 5 man both sat and Sun and 3 man on sun? Is this correct?

Yes, most definately. In fact, that's the whole point - to increase participation in local events around the country, while at the same time exposing the local players to a higher level of paintball that they will hopefully want to try for themselves.

Most (if not all) 5-man teams are putting in at least one 3-man team aswell. There will be two 5-man fields running both days, and a third field for the 3-man on the Sunday. There may even be a 4th field, making two for each competition - but that is yet to be finalized.

[lump_a_charcoal]

seperate entry fees?

[CJD]

The team list has been updated at http://www.national5.com.au (http://www.national5.com.au/main.html) with 5 teams now officially registered. There are at least another 7 or 8 teams that look to be coming, so if they would like to put their names down at the website, that would be much appreciated.

[CJD]

seperate entry fees?

Yes. National 5s is $1000 entry per team. The M3M is a measley $120 per team.

[CJD]

Hey guys, field layouts will be up shortly, but I thought you might like an idea on how the tournament site itself will be layed out. These images show where each field will be on the weekend, as well as staging areas / fill stations etc.

1266912670

[T-unit=BJ]

ok so theres going to be 4 fields !

[TRENT]

Looks like a great setup as usual. Just a few questions though in regards to 5man in terms of the pits. Are there any airs close to the chrono area? Also what is the going with pit crews. Is it pretty much the same as AXL and can have others going to go get you air etc?

[Birdman]

Looks great, can't wait. Some others suggestions though (re 3man area);
1. Any chance of fills closer to the 3man pits / fields
2. Any toilets (portables) down that end.
3. Any more pit tents in the centre of the 3man area.

[Wol-Gran]

Last tourney u guys made it very difficalt to get to the field for a game by clotting the area between the fields with old fat guys:rant:
So i would hope they dont put tents in between again :clap:
As for fills closer to the 3 man field get off ur arse and walk, its not like it was a big distance last time, and u cant fill between points so theres no need
well ive added my bit of BS so cheers for the update chris cant wait for the tourney:thumbsup:

[Souse]

leave the fat guys alone.......

[TRENT]

Yeah isnt really a need to be close to the 3man field but those that have chosen to play need quick access to air. Ow yeah please no teams using the tent if there is one where there was last time just before the chrono. Im presuming that will become the team pit area for the 5man teams to repod etc.

[Neil]

I think you and me will have a little chat about that when we we get there ok :thumbsup:

Ok cool c u there neil:thumbsup:

[Birdman]

Last time Cam told us to use the tent in between the fields and that was probably because there were so many teams / players. Combined with the 5 man there will be at least as many this time so space will be hard to find.

[Grant]

There was room at other tent, just needed to bring tables over.

Oh yer awesome looking setup. Didn't expect anything less though. You guys always have a great setup. If only it would rain to make that grass nice and lush like it used to be.

[TRENT]

Thats ok it wasnt you fault. Just dont do it again. :kiss: It wasn't a big deal in the 3man but will be a problem i think in the 5man.

[T-unit=BJ]

I am happy with the current set up just as long as team “Stroughney”!! Has Air conditioned, fully catered Marquee as agreed.

[CJD]

1. Any chance of fills closer to the 3man pits / fields
2. Any toilets (portables) down that end.
3. Any more pit tents in the centre of the 3man area.

As Jeremy said, there won't be a need for fill stations near the 3 Man fields, as you can't refill between games anyway. There will be a lot more tents / space in the pit areas this time for all the teams (both 5s and 3s) to find room, so everyone will be housed in the same area - making it a lot easier for marshalls to find and alert teams. As for toilets, I don't know, but I'll pass along your suggestion.

That's pretty much it. There will be no teams staged under the tent between the 5 Man fields holding up traffic this time - it will be just a viewing area and will be kept accessible for teams during changeover periods. As for fill stations in that area - all I can say is it may be a possibility, but no promises or guarantees just yet.

[CJD]

Ok, I've now received conformation on fill areas, and here is an updated site plan...

So in answer to your questions - in addition to the fill stations that were in place last time, there will also be fills near the 3 Man fields, aswell as in the corridor between the 5 man fields. Hopefully this will satisfy everyone!

... You may also notice there are barricades on the fields now!

[Birdman]

That looks awesome. Are those 3Man layouts in detail or close up on your website yet??? Looks like no lanes on field 2 but maybe something on one side of field 1 :) :armed:

I hope your stolen name brings you good fortune, as it did last time

[Deadeye]

You mess with the bull. You get the horns.

Straughnie is bringing the pain this event. We were eating vallium for days before the last event to control the monsters within us. This time, our inner hulks shal be realeased. Shake N Bake. Make sure you got your ambulence cover paid up.

[Flip]

stolen name:cry: get over it ...if I didnt have to hold your hand and spoon feed you....you wouldnt be cryin:kiss: and Ethan.....not only will we take care of you on the field but off it also.......one word......Dave:eek: :lol:

[Deadeye]

Not Crazy Eyes Dave:cry:

[Frodo]

Same smack talk, same smack channel.

You might want to keep some morphine handy instead of your valium, Coz after we leave your lifeless bodies strewn all about the field, were gonna have dave the dragon come and remove you from it. Dave is all powerful!

P.s ethan......your mums a whore

[T-unit=BJ]

I am not trying to buy into all this bullshit, I just pull the trigger people die the rest is history my Fans and the children are who I do it for, you’re just another Nigga with a death wish Jono

P.S Mrs. Sedgman is great women, and is also very attractive

[Deadeye]

im gonna spit on your corpse as they load u into the ambulence jono. Why even enter, why do it to yourself, the public health system is already kacing beds and your gonna be taking one up for at least 3 to 6 months while you learn how to grasp things and walk again. BJ's gonna swing the sledgehammer n ur men in tights are gonna get crushed, and after we win im gonna take your mum out for a nice seafood dinner in her local shire and then never call her again

[Frodo]

I'll have some waivers for you to sign before the game guys. Just some basic liability stuff. Also there will be some helmets and neck protection available to you.
I have been told I have to give you every possible opportunity to back out from your foolish antics and come to the grim reality of your impending demise, should you choose to continue on this crazy charade you will force my hand to unleash all the rage within Dave the destroyer of destroyers of worlds and be responsible for all carnage caused.

Its all in the waiver :)

[XLR8]

Would this thread be better off called XIP v XIP Bitch session hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

But seriously cant wait to play you all

[Jono]

and after we win im gonna take your mum out for a nice seafood dinner in her local shire and then never call her again

Dorothy Mantooth is a saint! You hear me!! She's a saint!

[Pengz]

and after we win im gonna take your mum out for a nice seafood dinner in her local shire and then never call her again

Jeez not calling is a bit rough... :bigparty:

[Blobby]

[Deadeye]

Dorothy Mantooth is a saint! You hear me!! She's a saint!

Lets leave the mothers out of this!

Now next on the agenda.

The pancake breakfast is on Sunday morning before the 5man. We do it every month.

p.s Jono got ur msg, we can arrange a secret autograph signing for you, cause we know how badly u want a straughnie signed jersey. No need to pretend its for your sister, we already know the truth. we appreciate u being such a fan n all. we even tryed a new breakout plan at training tonight. BJ played you, in operation bunker BJ. Needless to say 15 seconds into the game, there was some unpleasantness and ..well you will see what happens on the weekend when u fill in the role.

We are the alpha and the omega.
Your getting sent back to mt doom express mr baggins. cause straughnies the postman and we deliver.

[-:A:-]

cause straughnies the postman and we deliver.


thats some good reading...

there will be blood on the dance floor this weekend for true :clap:

[Neil]

Geeze you blokes talk some crap :lol:

[Grant]

Is there an up to date team list? Or is the teams on the National 5's site the latest?

[Pengz]

Geeze you blokes talk some crap :lol:

yeah its going to be great when they get slapped :lol:

[T-unit=BJ]

^ and will you be playing ??

[Pengz]

yep and i'll do my best to keep my pimping hand strong :D

[CJD]

VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE:

An official list of Amendments to the NPPL 07 Rulebook is now available at the National 5s Website (http://www.national5.com.au/main.html).

For all those who are playing on the weekend, please take a few minutes to read over these amendments, to avoid confusion on Saturday.

[T-unit=BJ]

yep and i'll do my best to keep my pimping hand strong :D

And your team will be called ?

[Deadeye]

Amendments all seem to all make sense except:

"The whistle can be blown anywhere between 5 and 15 seconds after the 10 second warning."

:confused:
If 10 second call doesnt mean 10 seconds???, then why not just say Ready Set.......GO lol?

[camel]

Its to stop teams from counting down the 10 seconds and getting a split second advantage. It's pretty hard to call a false start with the naked eye if its only a fraction of a second.

We saw it used at the Gravity Games with great success and decided it would be a great inclusion in to the National 5s series.

[Birdman]

yeah it does work well - we used it a couple of months ago and its the best way to prevent the slight edge going to a team. It makes it almost impossible to false start and get away with it.

[Grant]

And your team will be called ?

Sounds like BJ is preparing to pull out his Hammer now and smash skulls. Just let Sheeebbbaaaa loose on them. LOL

[TRENT]

I have to say im not sure about the 5-15 second thing either. If they say 10 seconds and blow wistle after 5 seconds its a bit silly. Teams like to swap movements in last few seconds so teams cant tell where they are going. Ah well just seems a bit silly

[Birdman]

I think you get a 30 second warning first - which pretty much means get your arse ready and make final positions and plans. Once the 10 second warning goes you basically need to be ready to go immediately - any more messing around could cost you a missed start. I doubt the ref would blow the whistle 1 second after the 10 second warning but the idea is that you need to be ready for anything after that point.

[TRENT]

Its not that you aint ready its got to do with changing how players stand in barricade. If you look at opposing team you can usually tell how many runners they have and shooters and where. If you quickly change some stances in last 5 seconds or not even get ready until last 5 seconds it doesnt give other team a chance to make changes to their play. Its mainly a thing in Xball but also comes into play in other formats.

Ah well it just seems like a bit of a silly change from NPPL rules but i can see why its been done.

I agree, it’s properly the worst thing I have heard in a while.... why even call it 10 seconds??? it should be called random seconds

[HenryG]

Random Seconds in 3 2 1 Random seconds

[XLR8]

On behalf of the Canberra boys,

Bones, tyddles and all the other reffs you guys are legends well done on what was a hard weekend of paintball, thankyou for making the hard decisions.

To the xip teams you guys rocked all weekend congrats, cant wait till the next round.

Thanks Cam, Spence and all the boys form Propaintballshop, congrats.

Awsome weekend had by all from our stable.

[Flip]

Hmmmm i seem to be walking off very quickly that game. From memory i think that is when Flip decided to shot me in side of my head. :-(

From memory I think thats when you decided to stand up and stick your head into my lane and stream of paint:kiss:

[TRENT]

LOL, that may or may not be the case. Anyway i had a great weekend and just wanna thank Flip for all the work he has put into organising the XIP teams and looking after us so well and it is sure paying off. Big thanks to the event organisers, reffs and everyone who came and played the event.

In the words of Flip "The tourney was beeeeeeeeeeeeeepppppp great and beeeeeeepppppp, thanks."

[Arfer]

Overall, the tournie was well organised. Even though the refs copped alot of crap, they still have a job to do, and they did it well enough.:respekt: Congrats to the Geelong Boys (both Extreme and Dragons), on your 1st and 2nd place finishes.:thumbsup: I would like to say thanks to Pat, Danny and Chris for letting me play for Cyclone during the course of the weekend (i hope I held up my end of the deal! :D ). Also was great to play along side Jeza and Pete (just remember Jeza, ill cover you for the snake! ). All ends tied up, was a great weekend and look forward to the next one.

Cheers.
:thumbsup:
