Merry Christmas

2010-12-24T05:46:00.000-08:00

Well, it's always been slow after PSP World Cup but I have to admit to slacking a bit. Just popping on now to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays as well as a Happy New Year. Hope Santa brings you all the paint you could ever use and that back-up marker that everyone knows you need.

Weekend Planner: Next week edition

2010-11-10T06:30:00.000-08:00

Paintball practice at Hwy77 the weekend of the 20th. At least that's the plan for now, as always keep an eye on the thread to make sure nothing changes.

Toys for Tots 3-Man Tourney

2010-11-08T07:14:00.000-08:00

LASwat is holding a Toys for Tots 3-Man tournament Sunday December 5th.

It's a great cause and a cheap tourney, only $20 or an unwrapped toy worth $20 for entry per person. Field paint only and no air fee.

Preregistration *is* required, so click here and get it done.

It's a fun tourney to help make Christmas a little brighter for those in need. So go shoot fools for the needy!

Weekend Planner: Oops edition

2010-11-03T06:57:00.000-07:00

Been out of the game for a bit, but not much happened except for friggin PSP World Cup!

Anyway, things are getting back to normal, just colder than usual. There'll be good games at Hwy77 this Saturday.

The weekend weather looks iffy, so keep an eye on that forum thread linked above for any change of plans.

Weekend Planner: Monday edition

2010-08-23T06:04:00.001-07:00

Practice at Hwy 77 this Saturday the 28th. They'll be using the World Cup layout, so if you or your team is planning on going to Cup, be there and get some practice in. Nothing helps more than knowing the field.

Weekend Planner: This weekend

2010-08-10T05:58:00.000-07:00

No super early edition like last time. Katana is having a practice this weekend on the 14th at Hwy 77. It's going to be another hot one so get there early to beat the heat. Have your paintball gear ready to go at 9:00 and bring plenty of water/sports drink. And no, energy drinks are *not* sports drinks.

Weekend Planner: Super Early edition?

2010-07-16T06:06:00.001-07:00

August 1st at CAP, just grinding out games till the paint runs out. Should be epic. Be there.

Weekend Planner: Late edition (also... hot)

2010-07-09T05:56:00.001-07:00

Damn it's hot, but don't let that stop you from playing paintball, just start playing earlier. Like having guns rolling by 8:30AM on Sunday. Like they say, get the games in before the heat gets too bad.

Weekend Planner

2010-06-11T06:55:00.000-07:00

P.C. Katana is practicing Sunday. They don't specify the field, but I'd have to guess hwy 77. Post up a comment if you know for sure.

If you'd like to get a jump on next weekend, Onyx is having a practice next Sunday at CAP.

Always good paintballing with both of these teams, so even if you're new or not on a team at the moment, go and get your skills honed.

This weekends weather in PC, since that's where I assume the practice will be.

Weekend Planner

2010-05-24T06:11:00.000-07:00

Local teams will be practicing this Sunday, most likely at CAP, although no one's posted where for sure.

NCPA College Paintball Championship Webcast Starts Friday

2010-04-08T10:24:00.000-07:00

The NCPA is hosting the 2010 College Paintball National Championship presented by Empire and DYE this weekend at Central Florida Paintball in Lakeland, FL. Top college teams from across the country will be competing starting Friday at 8 AM, with matches broadcast live on the internet through FCS Broadband.

Check out the schedule below and watch at www.foxcollegesports.com!

Weekend Planner, short and sweet edition

2010-04-08T06:06:00.000-07:00

Should be a good turnout at CAP this Sunday. You know, just FYI.

Weekend Planner, Springtime Edition

2010-03-15T07:07:00.000-07:00

Alright, the cold and nasty weather is behind us, it's time for some paintball! You even have some options this weekend.

On the 21st there should be a full crew out at CAP Paintball in Foley.

Or you can be at HWY 77 in Panama City on the 20th. Katana is having tryouts so if you want to have a shot at being on the team be there at 9:00 sharp. If you just want to shoot up potential team members I imagine you could be a little late.

Weekend Planner, Valentines Edition

2010-02-08T05:54:00.001-08:00

Practice on the 14th in Foley. Even if you aren't on a team you can be sure to have some good pick up games and some excellent competition. Even though it's Valentine's day, grab your marker, throw on your pack, and get out there.

Here's the weekend weather.

Weekend Planner, Freezing Edition

2010-01-11T07:04:00.000-08:00

This Saturday the 16th is the Katana/97x Radio game. I've got to assume it's out at HWY 77 in Panama City. After that there should be some good games and drills happening. As always, keep an eye on this thread for last minute details and changes. The forecast is calling for a rainy Saturday so it could be postponed.

*UPDATE*

The title should be changed from "Freezing Edition" to "Rained Out", since the practice day has been moved from Saturday to Sunday. Check the link and let them know if you can make it so they'll know if there will be enough to play, otherwise the whole weekend may be canceled.

Weekend Work Planner

2009-12-16T05:59:00.000-08:00

No playing or practice planned this weekend, but if you're willing to lend some time to make the field in PC a better place to play it looks like they're planning a "work day" out at Hwy 77 this Saturday. Keep an eye on that post, last weekend it was cancelled due to the weather, so don't go driving out there without checking.
Games Sunday afternoon at DSG. Be ready with full tanks and hoppers to roll games at 1:00.

*Updated 12/18*

Weekend Planner

2009-11-05T06:13:00.000-08:00

There's a planned practice in Panama City this Saturday. Be there with your paintball gear, the weather looks to be amazing!

Super early! No excuse for missing.

2009-09-21T06:27:00.001-07:00

It's been pretty much a month of rain and I don't think we're done yet, but that's not stopping the determined. There's currently a practice scheduled for the 27th at Hwy 77 in Panama City. Keep an eye on that thread to see when they plan on getting started.

*Update* - They'd like to get playing at 11:00, so get there early enough to have your markers together and your gear on and ready to play some paintball!

Rough weather can't keep us down.

2009-09-17T07:13:00.001-07:00

Some folks are planning on playing at The Coliseum on Sunday

There's no telling what the weather will do, but after roughly 3 weeks of rain I'm ready for a change.

Better late than never...

2009-09-11T06:14:00.001-07:00

Scrimmages start at 9 at CAP. CAP has moved, so be sure to check their site for directions.

Weekend Weather could go either way.

Weekend Planner for nothing, wait... something!

2009-09-03T05:56:00.000-07:00

How about I quit posting unless there's something going on? That would save me some time and probably anyone who comes to the site... you won't have to read through the post to see that paintball is dead...

Hang on, there are drills and maybe some games to be had at HWY 77 on Saturday!

Also, sounds like there may be pick up games at CAP. Keep an eye on the thread linked above for the latest news.

Weekend Planner

2009-08-27T06:32:00.000-07:00

Well, it's started to sound like a broken record, but there's nothing going on this week so far. Maybe I can write up a little script to just post "Nothing's happening" each week instead of looking for news about practices.

World cup is coming up soon, hopefully it'll pick back up as teams get ready for the big event.

Week two of nothing...

2009-08-20T06:43:00.000-07:00

Yet another weekend with no planned practices. Not much to report here, so I'll keep it short.

Nothing by Wednesday

2009-08-12T06:51:00.001-07:00

It's mid-week and so far no sign of any planned practices. If you're looking for a team in the lower Alabama area there will be tryouts at Bob's Paintball soon. No set date yet, but keep an eye on their forums. Other than that it's pretty quiet. Check back next week, there should be something going on by then.

Weekend Planner, Sketchy Edition

2009-08-05T06:11:00.001-07:00

There's nothing concrete going on this weekend yet. Keep an eye on this thread over on the nation to see if plans firm up any. It looks like there might be a practice on the 8th.

In the meantime I've done a little housekeeping around the site, cleaning up the links bar (unfortunately 850 Mafia and PensacolaPaintball are both gone) and just generally tidying up a bit. If there are any local links I'm missing and you'd like to see added email us at nwflpaintball@gmail.com

Peace

2009-07-28T07:45:00.000-07:00

There's going to be a practice day this Saturday in Panama City. Hopefully the weather forecast will clear up before then.

Next Weekend Planner, tourney edition

2009-07-15T06:45:00.000-07:00

I thought I'd miss out on a lot of happenings while away on vacation, but turns out I didn't. Because of the CFPS event there won't be any practices at the Panama City field until July 25th.

Bob's Paintball has a couple of groups scheduled to play this Saturday, so if you just want to get your paintball on in a non-professional environment (one group is a bachelor party) there's an option for you.

Have fun.

PSP Chicago happening right now

2009-06-25T12:32:00.000-07:00

Hey folks, one way to beat the heat is to stay indoors and watch the PSP Chicago webcast on your PC. PSP does a great, free broadcast of all the weekend games, so go watch some damn good paintball during your downtime over at PSPEvents.com this weekend.

Weekend Planner, Sunday Edition

2009-06-22T07:04:00.000-07:00

Next Hwy77 practice in Panama City is this Sunday the 28th. Keep an eye on this thread for more details. Not much happening anywhere else, the heat is pretty much beating everyone down. Right now it looks like rain is in the forecast for this weekend. Hopefully it will pass through by Sunday and the temperature will drop a little.

Weekend Planner

2009-06-09T11:54:00.000-07:00

This weekend on the 13th there's a practice in Panama City. They're trying to get started early so be there by 9 if possible. If anyone takes pics shoot me an email and we'll start posting them up here on the blog.

Weekend Planner

2009-05-11T12:16:00.000-07:00

After a handful of down weekends the current plan is to have a big scrim day Saturday the 16th out in Panama City at the HWY 77 field. Lots of P-Cola, Ft. Walton, and Niceville players are talking about being there so it should be a good turnout.

Keep an eye on this thread for details.

Weekend Planner, Spring Break edition

2009-04-16T07:38:00.000-07:00

I waited and waited to post up hoping that a game day would turn up, but it looks like there's nothing happening this weekend. So take a break and enjoy some of your other hobbies... you do do stuff other than paintball, right?

*update* Well it turns out some folks are playing this weekend, get the details here and the weather here.

Weekend Planner, Set in Stone Edition

2009-04-07T07:12:00.000-07:00

The Giants are having a practice day on Saturday. Details here, pretty straight forward, $50 get your field and air fee and a case of paint. Or $15 field and air and bring your own paint.

Pensacola weather.

Huntington Beach Web Cam

2009-04-03T17:12:00.000-07:00

Well, they're streaming all the action, but it isn't free. If you'd like to watch all the action go to uspl.tv and pay up.

Weekend Planner, Huntington Beach Edition

2009-04-01T17:52:00.000-07:00

So far there's no news of any local game days this weekend, but don't cry just yet because this weekend is the new US Paintball League's first big event at Huntington Beach. No word yet on if they'll be streaming games, but the smart money says that they will.

So keep an eye on www.uspaintballleague.com and keep your fingers crossed, maybe we'll get our paintball on vicariously.

Here's local weather in case you decide to go renegade.

Weekend Planner, End of Month Edition

2009-03-25T07:29:00.000-07:00

It's the last weekend of the month coming up, that means a big Saturday out at Niceville.

Keep an eye on the weather, as it doesn't look too good at the moment.

Weekend Planner, Saturday Edition

2009-03-17T07:16:00.000-07:00

The Giants are planning on having a game day this Saturday. They are also talking about running a "target shooting booth" at the Santa Rosa fair to generate some extra money for compressor/field/tourney stuff. If you can help out in any way please PM andrethegiant and let him know what you're able to do.

Sunday is a scrim day at CAP

Also on Saturday a local Ft. Walton team is having their last practice day before heading to SPCS. The field will be the MAO '09 layout.

Weather looks good so far!

Weekend Planner, no fancy title edition

2009-03-11T07:24:00.000-07:00

*update* Giants game day delayed till next Saturday

Sounds like the Giants are back in business with their field after the FMJ fallout. They plan on having a game day Sunday. If you're available to help with setup on Saturday I'm sure they'd appreciate it.

Pensacola weather looks iffy, so keep an eye on the Giant's thread in case they are forced to postpone.

Weekend Planner, I got nothin' Edition

2009-03-04T06:14:00.000-08:00

Despite the forecast for absolutely beautiful weather this weekend, I haven't heard of any organized paintball happening. We just can't seem to sync up our good weather with our scheduled practices for some reason.
Check back later in the week, we'll post up anything that we hear.

Keep an eye on that P'cola weather.

Weekend Planner, After Philly edition

2009-02-26T07:07:00.000-08:00

Well, The All Americans won the PSP Philly event, beating out Dynasty, Ironmen, and Russian Legion. If you're as pumped as I am after watching the games on the webcast, hit up Niceville this weekend on the 28th, weather permitting they're having a huge game day.

Niceville weather forecast.

Weekend Planner, Cancelled Again Edition

2009-02-19T06:06:00.001-08:00

It's starting to look like there'll be no organized practices or speedball this weekend. If you're really hurting to play you can try the Coliseum or Niceville, but traditionally, if there are no plans to get together then the turn out is rather poor.

There's always next weekend.

Get your weather here!

Weekend Planner, 4500 Fill Edition

2009-02-10T07:48:00.000-08:00

The Giants are 99% sure they're having a game day on Saturday, with 4500 fills even, so bust out the old inefficient guns if you want.
No news yet from the other fields, but check back as we'll post up when we know something.

Get your weather here

Weekend Planner, Helpful Neighbor edition

2009-02-04T08:59:00.000-08:00

I'm not sure much is happening this weekend. No big plans at CAP or from The Giants so far. Bob's is still busy with groups and needs refs, so if you've got the time why not go help out?

At least the weather is looking good.

Weekend Planner, Back to Normal? Edition

2009-01-27T06:15:00.000-08:00

After a month or two of downtime it looks like things might be getting back to normal. There was good times at CAP last weekend and looks like more in the works for this weekend.

Niceville is having a practice day on Saturday

More to come as it gets announced.

Weekend Planner: Finally! edition

2009-01-19T08:52:00.000-08:00

This weekend is the first chance to get your paintball on in a while. This has really been a dry spell, so everyone get out there and show them that we want to play and that if they open a local field, we'll be there.

Sunday the 25th is a big xball practice day at CAP

I wanted to get this up early so word gets out, in the meantime that means that a lot of other sites haven't got their plans for this weekend up, so if you don't feel like xball practice, check back later and there might be something else.

Weekend weather

Weekend Planner, "Restless Natives" edition

2009-01-08T06:24:00.000-08:00

Well, after a long break, partly due to holidays, partly due to other things, people seem ready to get back to paintball.

~~The Giants will be working on their field Saturday, with hopes to play on Sunday.~~
Change of plans, no paintball Sunday in P-Cola...

Bob's is "booked solid for a while", I'm not sure what that means for walk ons.

And that's about it for right now. Gotta get back up to speed slowly, know what I mean? Prevents sprains... There may be a new field in Pensacola, almost hate to mention it since it's really only in the planning stages right now, but if you want to post up and mention how much you'd like to play I'm sure it'll help keep the momentum up and help make it happen.

Weekend looks chilly!

Weekend Planner, A day late, a dollar short

2008-12-19T07:20:00.000-08:00

Things got busy this week and I didn't have a chance to get this up earlier, but the boards were quiet, at least when it came to playing paintball this weekend. Lots of talk about FMJ and where the Giants will have their field.

Bob's forum hasn't seen any activity since Sunday, so no practice days planned there.

There's some rumblings about folks playing at the Coliseum this weekend, what day it's happening on is a bit sketchy, but if you're hard up for some holiday paintballing, that's probably your best bet.

As always, weather linky here.

Weekend Planner, nothing doing edition

2008-12-11T11:10:00.000-08:00

The title says it all, there's nothing doing this weekend in local paintball.

Nothing announced on Bob's, FMJ is gone, and no recent posts on Choppa's talking about playing this weekend.

Here's the weather anyway, in case you're playing in your back yard.

A Moment of Silence please

2008-12-10T08:04:00.000-08:00

It's a terrible day for the local paintball scene. Due to the actions of a single bad apple, the fields at FMJ, both speedball and woodsball have been taken away. We were able to play thanks to the generosity of the Sterling Fibers company that owns the land. Someone decided to shoot the water tower on said land and they no longer want to deal with irresponsible folks shooting up their property.
So please observe a moment of silence as we all mourn the passing of one of the best fields in the panhandle. Also take a minute to thank everyone who put their blood sweat and tears into making it what it was, it was truly a labor of love and took a lot of work to set up and tear down each weekend.

Thanks for the memories...

Weekend Planner, Working off the Turkey edition

2008-12-02T15:52:00.000-08:00

OK, first off, don't spend money on the new NPPL Paintball Game. It's awful... maybe just trade somebody an old loader if you want to try it, but seriously don't spend your hard earned on it. It's broken.

Now to the news you came for...

Speedball Saturday hosted by the Giants at FMJ

A little birdy told me MagFreak is having a woodsball day Sunday, but there's no site to link to, if you know how to get in touch with him and want to play woodsball I hear there's been a great turnout the last few game days.

Bob's is having a big weekend, so if you can't make it to P-Cola, try Mobile.

Here's the weather forecast.

Weekend Planner, Turkey Edition

2008-11-26T06:14:00.000-08:00

Not much happening the weekend after Thanksgiving, which might be a good thing. I'd hate to see someone take a bad fall on the field and start leaking gravy from the cuts.

Bob's is open Saturday and is up for practice Sunday if the players show up.

Everyone have a happy Thanksgiving and be safe on crazy Friday.

Weekend weather.

*updated the gun weights post, added the PM8

Playing Inside, on the couch

2008-11-26T06:08:00.000-08:00

NPPL Championship Paintball 2009 should be out for most all console systems now, go pick it up if it's getting too cold for the real thing. Or if you want to work on your game strategy without all the outlay for gas and paint.
There aren't many reviews out, and the ones that are out aren't very favorable, but if you liked the old Greg Hastings games this is more of the same, right down to the wipe mechanics.

Weekend Planner, Bupkis edition

2008-11-18T07:30:00.000-08:00

It's still early, but right now there's nothing happening in local paintball this weekend. Also there's been no results for the latest Hotshots tourney posted yet, so if you know who placed where, drop us an email.

Small site update, added a link to the Coliseum on the sidebar. Weekend plans below.

Weekend weather forecast is here. Right now looks like a chilly one.

Hotshots Toys for Tots Tournament

2008-11-11T09:10:00.000-08:00

Hotshots is putting together a toys for tots tournament, details can be found on their forum. So far it looks like the date is going to be Dec. 13th, so mark your calendars.
With the economy the way it is lets get together and really make this years toy turnout something special.

*update* Official Sign up and info thread here.

Weekend Planner, Tournament Edition

2008-11-04T07:43:00.000-08:00

The final HotShots/DXS 3 Man event is this weekend. They're inside, so weather shouldn't be an issue.
There isn't anything posted yet regarding this weekend from FMJ or Bob's, but we'll keep checking and update the post if we find anything, so check back later.

*update* Bob's is having a large group of 15-20 play on Saturday, doesn't sound like speedball
players, but a group that big is going to be fun in the woods regardless.

And as always, you can check the weekend weather forecast here.

New resource for local paintballers

2008-10-28T18:33:00.000-07:00

There's a new site up for local paintballers. Probably a good source as any for planning FMJ days until the pensacolapaintball site gets back up. It's called 850 Mafia and while it's pretty scarce on info right now, it's new, so give it some time and more than anything, sign up and contribute!

Final HotShots/DXS 2008 Series Nov. 8th

2008-10-27T08:28:00.000-07:00

2008-10-27T08:23:00.000-07:00

Now that World Cup is done everyone is either going to be pumped, or burned out. Probably depending on if they played in Orlando.
Regardless, there's more paintball to be played this weekend.

Nov. 1st The Giants are planning on having a speedball day at FMJ

Also on the 1st are two parties at Bob's in Mobile.

More will be posted as it becomes available.
Pensacola weather forecast

Vacation, after the fact

2008-10-27T08:17:00.001-07:00

No updates last week cause I was on vacation and don't really have anyone who'll post when I'm away from the internets. Hopefully nothing big was missed since it was Cup weekend. Posts should resume this week.
Updated the gun weights post with the weight for a stock Vice. Pretty light gun, can't wait to shoot it.

Weekend Planner, Spring Fall Cleaning Edition

2008-10-16T17:42:00.000-07:00

This is the last weekend before World Cup in Orlando.

The Giants are cleaning up at FMJ. Pensacolapaintball.com is down right now, but feel free to use the comments on this post to get that going.

So far that's it. Nothing's posted over at Bob's or HotShots or CAP as of right now. As always, here's a link to the weekend weather forecast.

Weekend Planner, Back to Back edition

2008-10-06T07:23:00.001-07:00

FMJ is bringing the pain this weekend with back to back paintball both Saturday and Sunday. Let's break it down and list it all professional like...

Saturday at FMJ is a Speedball day hosted by the Giants.

Sunday at FMJ is going to be Woodsball

Saturday and Sunday at Bob's looks to be busy with large parties. If you aren't planning on playing it looks like he could use some help with the crowds...

We'll keep an eye out for more stuff this weekend and post it up as we see it. If we miss something give a shout out in the comments and we'll be sure to post it up!
Pcola weather forecast looks ~~decent~~ awesome.

PB on TV for the week starting October 6th

2008-10-06T04:32:00.000-07:00

Grasping at whatever scraps we get, here's where you can find paintball on TV this week...

PB on TV Recap, Xtreme Paintball: Beyond the Paint Sept. 9th

2008-09-09T15:56:00.000-07:00

Today is quarterfinal games. The teams that made it to Sunday at Jax are Hurricanes, Avalanche, Blast, Bushwackers, Authority, Aftermath, X-Factor, and Ironmen.
First game is Aftermath v X-Factor. Clean, conservative break for both teams. X-Factor is the first to lose a man off the field. They also don't have anyone in the snake, which allows Aftermath to push hard up the snake. Soon it's 7 on 5 in Aftermath's favor. Aftermath keeps picking off the X-Factor guys and win with 7 alive.
Next up is Hurricanes v Blast. Both teams go to the snake off break. Hurricanes lose a body right off the bat, but take S2. For the next minute there's some moving on the field, but nobody is shot out until Hurricanes eventually lose another. Next a Blast player moves up and trades out with the Hurricanes snake player. It's now a 6 on 3 battle with the advantage going to Blast. With those numbers it's not long before Blast picks off the last of the Hurricane players, despite a 1 for 1 penalty on a Blast player.
They must be nearing the end of the season and running out of shows, because after a commercial break (click on an ad here, btw!) they show highlights of some of the other quarterfinal matches. X-Factor lose to Avalanche, then a Hurricanes and X-Factor game that goes to time with both teams getting to their respective flags in a bit of a crazy 1 on 1 endgame that I'd really liked to have seen. Next on the highlight reel is Authority losing to Aftermath.
Next full game is Blast v Ironmen. Blast lose two off the break and seem to go into defensive mode and slowly get picked off until Ironmen score the win with 6 alive.
The last game of the show is Aftermath v Hurricanes. Both teams have clean breakouts. Lasoya makes a crazy move to the 50 almost immediately. But Aftermath loses a couple bodies and are unable to move up and protect Lasoya, who gets picked off shortly after making his mad move. It's a back and forth game with both sides losing bodies. After having an early advantage, the Hurricanes lose bodies until it's even again at 4 on 4. The Hurricanes may have thrown away this game. There's some more back and forth until finally it's 3 on 1 Aftermath's advantage. They quickly pick off the last Hurricanes player and win the game. Easily the best game of the show.
The next episode is SemiFinals with Aftermath, Hurricanes, Blast, and Ironmen.

PB on TV Sept. 9th, Xtreme Paintball: Beyond the Paint

2008-09-05T10:53:00.000-07:00

Extreme paintball is showing Sunday games from Jax on the next episode. I almost didn't post up the preview video because they basically show you the outcome of the games, which basically ruins the whole point of watching the show, but hey, you're all grown-ups, you can decide for yourself if you want to watch a spoilerific preview or not.

Also updated the weekend planner, check it out if you're not sure what to do this weekend.

PB on TV Recap, Xtreme Paintball: Beyond the Paint Sept. 2nd

2008-09-02T16:43:00.000-07:00

All Chris Lasoya today.
After a quick behind the paint segment we get started with an Aftermath v Ironmen game. First off, Lasoya has a pimp mask, but it doesn't seem to help as Aftermath drop 2 quick. Ironmen also lose a couple and the game stalls at 5 on 5 for a bit until Aftermath loses one of their back corners, which is a hard loss to recover from. Before long Ironmen, playing a smart, safe game, pick off the rest of Aftermath to win this game with 5 up.
Another behind the paint segment with the best quote of the season so far, "I've already put my stamp on paintball. I could probably quit playing today and be satisfied with what I've won, but I'm just not satisfied with that"
Next up is Aftermath v Naughty Dogs. The Dogs have been having an up and down season and Aftermath could win this one with some smart playing. Aftermath made a crazy move straight to S2 off the break, but lose a guy going to the corner. After some quick back and forth it's 4 on 5, followed by a 1 for 1 on the Dogs, which makes it 4 on 1. Aftermath quickly closes up the game to win.
We get to see a recap of the skills competition, and a pair of One on One games. First up Thomas Taylor eliminates Chino Carbajal. In the second one on one game Ryan Greenspan is eliminated by Chris Lasoya
We get a third match up this episode as Aftermath takes on the All Americans. All Americans lose Konstantine right off the break and Aftermath is pushing up the field being extremely aggressive. After a couple of big moves the Aftermath wins the game with 7 alive.

Weekend Planner, Tournament Edition - Sept. 6th, 7th

PB on TV September 2nd, Xtreme Paintball: Beyond the Paint

2008-08-28T12:18:00.000-07:00

If you haven't been blown away by some super storm, tune in to some paintball on Tuesday at 3:30 and see Chris Lasoya tear it up. Having seen him play in person, I gotta say he's got mad field awareness, and I'm actually really looking forward to this episode.

PB on TV Recap, Xtreme Paintball: Beyond the Paint August 26th

2008-08-26T18:17:00.000-07:00

The show highlights Thomas Taylor this week, so we get to see some XSV games.
After a long behind the paint section we get to the first match-up, XSV v Tampa Bay Damage. Tampa Bay looked asleep at the light when the game starts, but hold their own for a bit and the game doesn't go anywhere for a minute or so until Junior Brown for XSV makes a powerful move up the dorito side, taking out a couple of Tampa Bay players and allowing XSV to quickly close up the game except for a brief 1 on 3 at the end where XSV almost throws it all away.
More behind the paint stuff.
Next up XSV take on the New England Hurricanes. Both teams have a good break out with Hurricanes getting a guy (Billy Bernacchia) all the way to S2 right away while shooting Thomas Taylor out of XSV's S1. The Hurricanes continue to play well slowly picking XSV players off until it's 1 on 6, winning the game with 6 alive.
It's time for more 1 on 1 skills challenges. Today it's quarter finals.
First up Thomas Taylor eliminates Rusty Glaze
Next Chino Carbajal eliminates Chris Lasoya
Finally Ryan Greenspan eliminates Josh Ouimet who was in the quarter finals as a wild card, as you'll remember Josh was eliminated by Chino on the August 19th show.
Lastly we get one more game, XSV v DC Arsenal. Good breakouts on both sides. XSV takes S2 early on. Arsenal drops a body on the dorito side pretty early. After some back and forth the Arsenal snake guy moves up to the XSV 40, which is a little too far, too early and gets picked off by XSV. After that it all falls apart for Arsenal and XSV quickly finish the game with 6 bodies alive.
Next week is Chris Lasoya, see you then.

Weekend Planner: Last Practice before HotShots Edition

2008-08-26T06:29:00.000-07:00

PB on TV August 26th, Xtreme Paintball: Beyond the Paint

2008-08-22T06:32:00.000-07:00

With Fay visiting us this weekend, there's nothing for it. This may be the only paintball we get this week, so tune in on Tuesday and watch Thomas Taylor get tatted...

PB on TV Recap, Xtreme Paintball: Beyond the Paint August 19th

2008-08-20T18:18:00.000-07:00

The highlighted player this week is Rusty Glaze of LA Infamous.
The first matchup is Infamous v Aftermath. Infamous gets a penalty pretty quick and after just 30 seconds Lasoya and the snake player (Kenny) are both on the Infamous 30. It's over in no time with Aftermath taking the flag home.
Next Rusty goes shark fishing? Cool I guess, but has nothing to do with paintball...
Jersey Authority is the next team to play Infamous. Infamous loses their snake player off the break, same as last game. Pretty quick it's 5 Infamous against 6 Authority players. This game is lasting a bit longer than the last one. Authority isn't playing very aggressive and take forever to push up the snake, but once they do get moving it's over pretty quick for Infamous.
Right when I'm thinking it's going to be a 3 game show they start showing more of the pro challenge one on ones.
First up it's Josh Ouimet v Chino Carbajal. With Chino advancing
Next it's Lasoya v Adam Johnson. Lasoya advances.
Last is Ryan Greenspan v Bissie Gold. um...
Anyway, it is a 3 game episode and we get to see XFactor take on Infamous in the last game of the show. Infamous finally gets their guy in the snake off the break. Both teams are playing it pretty safe sticking to their bunkers for the most part. After a bit Infamous made a great move the the snake 50, but doesn't really do much from there. Before long the game timer is running out. XFactor steps up and takes out Infamous, but there's not enough time to run the flag back.
It's a rough day for Infamous. Next episode is all about Thomas Taylor, hopefully XSV will do better than Infamous did on their next episode.

Bob's will be open, even if nothing's planned.

Just in case, here's the local weekend weather forecast.

The PB on TV review is coming, it's just a little late this week. Here's a taste of what happened from an IM conversation after watching the episode, "Man, Infamous got rolled and rolled some more in this episode. And one on ones."

Updated HotShots tourney post

2008-08-18T16:34:00.000-07:00

Updated the Hotshots 3-Man post with the official flyer and a link to the forum post over on the HotShots website.
Here's our updated post. A link to HotShots main page is on the right side of the page, along with the link to all current tourneys (that we know of, email us if we're missing one!)

PB on TV August 19th, Xtreme Paintball: Beyond the Paint

2008-08-14T08:40:00.000-07:00

On August 19th, at 3:30 central time, watch a couple of Infamous games and get a little background on Rusty Glaze.

PB on TV Recap, Xtreme Paintball: Beyond the Paint August 12th

2008-08-12T18:19:00.000-07:00

This week it's Ryan Greenspan, so we get to watch a handful of Dynasty games from Jax.
We're still watching games from Saturday and the first game of this episode is Dynasty v Excessive. It's a good game with both teams trading out players right off the bat. Excessive has some new guys this year and the game comes down to experience over enthusiasm as Dynasty brings the flag home. Some good snake playing in this game by Greenspan.
Next up is a beyond the paint segment. I notice all the highlight reels of Ryan show him using the DLX Luxe marker. I see ads for that on this site sometimes, which is funny, because you can't officially order it online. DLX is Smart Parts' deluxe brand and they only want approved shops with trained techs selling it so they can provide the best support.
Next up is the skills challenge. A one on one showdown. Finally a challenge I can get behind...
Thomas Taylor takes out Markus Nielson in round 1 Did Markus look like a scrub out there or what? Was he joking or seriously shoots like that?
Rusty Glaze takes out Todd Martinez in round 2
Next we get more beyond the paint.
At this point I'm starting to think we'll only get 2 games in this episode as they show the Dynasty v DC Arsenal game. Dynasty loses two players early, giving the advantage to Arsenal. After a short back and forth, Dynasty loses 2 more, while Arsenal still has all 7. At this point the game is over pretty quick with Arsenal using the numbers advantage to take the game home.
And that's it for this episode. Next week is Rusty Glaze. We'll have the preview up as soon as it's available.

Wondering what to do this weekend? Well wonder no more, we've got you covered with all the paintball happenings for this weekend that we could dig up. Follow the links for details on pricing, times, etc.

Saturday 8/16 The Giants are having a speedball practice at FMJ

Sunday 8/17 FMJ is having a woodsball day

Sunday 8/17 Bob's Paintball is holding a Big Practice, which I assume is speedball

We'll add to this post throughout the week as more places post up plans for the weekend.
Here's the weekend weather forecast.

Not much happening in August?

2008-08-07T11:21:00.000-07:00

When there's nothing new posted for a couple weeks aside from when you can catch paintball on tv, you know it's a slow time for the locals. I blame the heat and constant forecasts for thunderstorms.
If you know something that needs to be posted up so more people will know about it let us know by emailing us at nwflpaintball@gmail.com. Until then we're looking forward to September with some lower temps and a couple tournaments!
We've also added a links section to the right. Again, if we missed anyone, let us know about it.

PB on TV Recap, Xtreme Paintball: Beyond the Paint August 5th

2008-08-05T15:27:00.000-07:00

Back to Pro games this episode and it starts right off with a bang, showing Edmonton Impact v. San Antonio X-Factor.
An excellent game with both teams playing conservatively. No big moves, but by no means a boring game. Plenty of moves and patience from both teams gives us a game that swings back and forth and could go either way right up to the end, when X-Factor whittles Impact down to a 4 on 1 endgame.
Next we go "behind the paint" with Josh Ouimet and get to see pretty much the preview clip posted earlier. This show needs more field time.
Next game, Impact v. Golden State Ironmen. I really expected the Ironmen to over-run Impact. They're just that kind of team, super aggressive. This game though Impact and Ironmen both have similar break-outs and Impact is actually the first into S2. Before long it comes down to a 2v2 with the experience of Nicky Cuba and Mike Paxon giving Ironmen the edge to win the match.
Next is the pro challenge. They finish the run through challenge with Josh Ouimet coming out on top.
A surprise 3rd game finishes this episode. It's Impact v Portland Naughty Dogs. The Dogs are a good team that always seem to be just out of the top 3 or 4 for the season and put up a good fight against Impact, but before long they lose both corners, quickly followed by the guy in their carwash. This allows Impact to push up the field and win the final game of this episode. I'd say the move of the day goes to the Impact player in the snake with an amazingsnap shot on a Dog player who had been posted on him basically the whole game.
On an unrelated note I saw a lot of the new "crown" hopper lid and it looks like it works really well.

PB on TV August 5th, Xtreme Paintball: Beyond the Paint

2008-08-01T10:01:00.000-07:00

This week highlights Josh Ouimet of Edmonton Impact. That should mean we're back to seeing pro games, and they should be good ones. Tune in or set the DVR, it should be on 3:30 local time (Central)

Check out Lasoya's pimp spin during the run through drill.

PB on TV Recap, Xtreme Paintball: Beyond the Paint July 29th

2008-07-29T14:58:00.000-07:00

This week showcased Adam "AJ" Johnson from Pasadena Bad Company or just BC as they're listed on the NPPL Rankings page. AJ is shooting the Spyder Electra Guns this year and playing in the Semi-Pro bracket. I thought the whole team was a spyder team but I saw BC players shooting G3s and shockers, so what do I know.
They're back to showing the skills challenges this week and AJ does the run through in 11.31 seconds. This puts him in 3rd place out of 3 so far.
Fun fact, AJ wears velcro sneakers when walking on the beach.
Games shown this episode were all BC games, starting with BC taking on TCP Machine. It's a pretty slow start and mid-game BC has an advantage but stall out a bit and end up getting a one for one, giving the game to TCP Machine.
The second game has BC taking on Denver Altitude. Altitude drops 3 players really fast, sliding all over the field due to a little rain that came and slicked up the field. BC again stalls out a little in the mid-game, but pull it out to win the game over Altitude. I saw a couple BC players with Egos this game.
Bizzie needs a new hair stylist.
Only 2 games on this show. Peace out, I gotta go pick up some velcro sneaks, you see AJ's girl? Damn! It's gotta be the shoes...

PB on TV July 29th, Xtreme Paintball: Beyond the Paint

2008-07-25T15:35:00.000-07:00

There's a new Xtreme Paintball scheduled Tuesday, July 29th at 3:30pm. This week it's back to normal, with more Jax games and back to going "beyond the paint" with the spotlight on Adam "AJ" Johnson.

*update* Added the highlighted player for this episode and the preview video

PB on TV Recap, Xtreme Paintball: Beyond the Paint July 22nd

2008-07-22T17:19:00.000-07:00

This week the show broke from the normal routine of highlighting one pro and instead covered the whole crew, following them to various night clubs and bars. Incidentally there was some nice scenery in this episode.

The games shown this episode were the Allstar matches from Jax, where the North team (Billy Bernacchia, Kostia Federov, Tim Montressor, Jon Richardson, Brian LB Fow, Rusty Glaze, Josh Ouimet, JC Whittington, Prince Labiano, Alberto Chino Carbajal, Markus Nielsen, Frank Connel, Marky Ireland, Mark Lancia, and Josh Davey) played the South team (Alex Fraige, Ryan Greenspan, Nicky Cuba, Archie Montemayor, Zach Long, Chris Lasoya, Oliver Lang, Todd Martinez, Aaron Tholey, Tyler Harmon, Kenny Rosenberg, Thomas Taylor, Tommy O'Donnell, Chad Busiere, and Adam Johnson) for best of out of 3.
The South team took the first game with Fraige, Oli, and even Zach all playing the snake.
In game two the South takes it again with 6 alive, not counting all the playing-on JC does.
The 3rd game the South team gets a little crazy, since they've basically won the series, and gives the game to the North team.

PB on TV Recap, JT Sports College Paintball National Championship July 21st

2008-07-21T17:52:00.000-07:00

Bea Youngs and Matty Marshall host the final between Illinois State and U. of Cali. Irvine at Lakeland Florida Central Florida Paintball.

It's semi-auto xball format so this hour long show consists of a single game. Good camera work and a couple of really competitive teams make this an excellent bit of PB on TV.

Irvine in Blue started the game well with two fast points but caught a major penalty midway through the first half giving Illinois the advantage and ending the first half 2/4 in Illinois' favor.
Illinois starts the second half with a gun penalty for a bouncing gun but manage to take the point regardless. The next point goes to Irvine, keeping the game interesting at 3/5 Illinois. The game finished with no more penalties and the teams swapping points, going into the last point with a minute on the clock and 5/6 Illinois on the board. Irvine pulls off an amazing point to tie it up at 6 a piece and putting the game into overtime.
Illinois wins the point in sudden death overtime to take the championship.

Both teams appeared to be players choice for marker selection, with Egos and DMs getting the most airtime. Although I'm pretty sure I saw at least one proto and a marq at one point.
