you're going to have the same problem the last kid who posted a thread like this had. no body knows who you are. your best bet would be to try and get on a team already going or at least practice with as many people as possible first. you are going to have to get your name out there before anyone will be willing to play for u.

ehn, thats not true at all.
Anomaly started as a team from 4 guys.
Three of us knew each other sort of, and the 4th guy I met randomly at a paintball store and invited him to come play. From there we just started playing together as much as we could and started meeting people and asking them if they were interested.

So I'd have to completely disagree with you there buddy.

as u said three people who knew each other. that is a start and then others that u played with at a field not asked people 2 drive out and meet u. as I said practice or play with people and then they may want to play with him. and besides that we will let the thread speak 4 itsElf. I haven't seen anybody jumping on board

^^^ yea true but most teams in shrevport there roster is full or they dont need a back player. but i fig i would try something...i would love to jump on a team and play..also i go to offlimits i dont no where pg is never been there.

any one looking for a back player????????

pballer71037 · 04-16-2008, 12:07 AM

i know what you mean about rosters. most teams arent full they dont want to have open tryouts. the best thing to do would be to find out when teams are going to be at what field. then go and play with them on that day. there are usually a few other people without a team playing the same way you will be. then you can talk to them and see if they want to start a team up. sundays is a good day at off limits. you have to get with the owners of pg to find out when you can go out there.

i am glad you took that the right way when i said let the hread speak for itself. i wasnt trying to be a dick. i would really love to see the tournement scene grow in this area.

caddokota · 04-16-2008, 09:01 AM

yea it would be nice to have more players on a air ball fild and at least on more fild that is not privt...if you wont a good turny you really need to go out of state.

BURN! do you need some ice with that. and whats wrong with back players? without them you wouldn't know where the hell everyone is

A good back player is just a front player waiting to move up. A good paintball player, can play any position on the field. Some are just more well suited than others.
