I do have a negative faults with the field, the lack of size made the games all very similar, dont get me wrong I enjoyed playing a new field. (getting my throat cut by weltman, shooting my own team mate in the back, shooting Jake's best friend on the tip.).

The field owner was a complete muppet in my opinion, well we know all his opinions because he shouted them at us all day long which got boring very quickly. That I could put up with.

What was simply inexcusable was the fact that the owners son drank several beers then went out onto the field to play, then drank several more beers before the next game and then went out to play again. He wouldn't keep his goggles down past the netted area. When he shot a player out he screamed obscenities at him, then when he got shot out himself he screamed F**K 3 or 4 times.

Stupid behavoir that would prevent me from ever playing there again or for me to recomend anyone else to play there again.

Had a great time meeting old faces, new faces and talking shop.

thanks again.
I was competing for muddiest, but I think I lost.

I really didn't find the game repetitive too much. I tried to take different parts of the field when possible. That mixed it up. Last year they moved starting points around more, but this year with the mud, they kept them pretty much across the field instead of up and down the field. When you play up and down, the dynamic changes a lot.

Yeah, the field owner is a character. You just have to laugh at him. He does it to bug the **** out of Azzy and the rest of us. Really, without him berating us over and over, we probably only would have gotten 3-4 games in between the bull ****ting. I came to play first, talk second. But I'm a quiet guy so...

Paintball and alcohol don't mix. Save it for after the games next time. Like waht I'm doing now. Swearing doesn't get to me really. With the adrenaline going, it happens. But alcohol was not needed. But I don't think I saw anything to warrant me not playing there ever again. But that is fully your choice to make.

All in all, I had a great time. I won't let one person's poor judgment to mix alcohol in there keep me from playing there. Then again I do only live 15-20 miles away so that is a tiny bit closer than you. I'm looking forward to the next pump event. RR has an amazing field. I might go as far to say that it is my favorite field I've ever played on. Hope to play with all of you again.
