Weekend Planner, A day late, a dollar short

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

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

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

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

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.

Playing Inside, on the couch

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

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.

Bob's Paintball is planning on having some old school woodsball this Sunday
