First time in D3

me in and ion type marker. cool eh?

My current and newest team Outrecs Jr. was created on a number of 7 members including me. All were active players in the rooster. Our team was extablished this year and we registered for Division 3 in Malaysian National Paintball League [MY-NPL]. Our first event for the year in MY-NPL is at MAPAAC, Petaling Jaya, Selangor on 23th-24th February 2008. In this event there are already 4 of our players using e-markers. We must field a total of 5 players in our rooster for each game. For D3, we are playing 8 preliminarie games before commencing to quater-finals. Only top 16 teams will make it to quater-finals. In this event, our team couldn't make it, we only won 3 out of 8. Although we didn't reach quaters, we still had a great time enjoying the game and all the fun in shooting paintballs during in game.

____________________________________________________________________

Acap was our manager for the team and the rest were active players including the manager himself. There are 3 positions in this game of speedball which is also known as paintball. Our frontman, Atook, Zaki and Syafiq. Centerman, Acap. Backman, Sajiv, Alip, Syafiq and me. Our placing in the field may change. Their roles are nicely written down here -->

---Speedball centerman---

Mid players are adaptable, versatile, and patient. They perform whatever function is necessary for the team to advance through the game. If a front player is eliminated at the beginning of a game, center player will try to take that place. When a back player is eliminated and leaves a blind spot on the field, a mid can fall back, if necessary, and take up that command position, or command from the bunker they currently occupy. Mid players also perform the vital function of a relay system late in the game. A front player who has progressed far down the field cannot hear his back. Mids will relay information between the two, so that the front player is not effectively blind. A mid player may also shut down a lane from a position farther down the field, where a back player does not have the correct angle. Alternatively, mid players can also accompany a front player to a critical position, to up the odds of it being held successfully.

A centerman's attitude on the field should be cool, confident, and calculating. In his position he can see more of the field (and thus the enemy) than any other position on the field. This also means that more of the enemy can see him. He needs to stay focused and relay positions to teammates while watching for opportunities to take.

---also as center back---

The back player who takes the centermost position on the field is akin to a chess player or football coach who is stuck in the middle of the game. The back player filters information between left and right, and has a direct line of sight to both sides of the field. This player will let everyone know who is supposed to be doing what, setting up objectives for the other back players, and by association, the front players those back players are tending, as well as firing large amounts of paint across the field.

---Speedball frontman---

A front player's task is to perform the major movements and eliminations on the field during a speedball game. As the name suggests, this places the front man far forward on the speedball field, compared to the other positions. Front players stay low, firing comparatively little and making heavy use of snap shooting. Because of this, they rely very heavily on the rest of the team to provide them with developments across the field. Front players and back players are very closely related, and in some cases, a back player will be assigned to communicate with and cover a front player when the latter is in a critical position or attempting to maneuver. Front players should know how to slide flawlessly to lower their center of gravity and keep a low profile.

---Speedball backman---

Back players are the eyes and support fire of the team. At the rear of the field, they are afforded a fairly unobstructed view of the action, and constantly communicate with the rest of the team. It is the back player's job to coordinate and move the front players down the field while denying the opposing front player's movement. These different goals cause rear players to use their markers in a dramatically different way than a front player, utilizing a near constant stream of paint to shut down movement paths, called lanes, for opposing front players. This same tactic is used against specific bunkers to force a player to tuck in, allowing a front player to move.

[[ the infos were taken from wikipedia ]]

Well, my role as backman mostly suit me the best. The one who is shouting pin-points and enemy whereabouts. Spamming the most paints all the time linning or keeping the enemy in its bunker. I liked it. We don't have a lot of photos that are taken during game but i'll try to upload some in next post.
