The local tournament scene is under way here in Colorado, and we have played 2 events up to this point. We have played the series at Blitz Paintball and so far have played a 3 man and a 5 man RaceTo event. The 3 man event was held on April 11th and it was the first time I had played since the Phoenix PSP event. I was felt out of practice and just plain slow on the field, I did not feel like I played that well all day long. Fortunately, my teammates picked up my slack and as a team we were able to squeeze into the finals as the last seed. The finals saw us lose to the first seeded team right off the bat, but that was the last game we lost in the finals. This performance netted us a 2nd place finish that we were pretty happy about!

The 5 man RaceTo 2 event was held just recently on May 2nd. This event was played in the PSP RaceTo format which makes for interesting games when you only have 6 players total on the team, in other words, you get tired fast. It was a really fun day and I felt like I was playing pretty well. As a team our practicing was paying off and even when losing the initial point in a match, we were able to bounce back and win the following 2 points to win the match. We went into the finals playing well, although very tired, and changing our break-outs turned out to be detrimental. But, despite this we were able to place a solid 2nd place, right on the heels of our “main” team, Colorado Blitz.
