cageking1 · 04-03-2012, 09:07 AM

Baltimore Equinox D4 3-man and 5-man
www.facebook.com/equinoxpaintball

Date: Saturday April 7th
Time: 12pm sharp READY TO PLAY
Location: Paintball Adventure Park
3939 Old Taneytown Rd, Taneytown, MD 21787

We are tight knit group and if you have what it takes to become a member of our team you are making a commitment to us for the season and hopefully will stick around longer than that. Our goal is to build ourselves up to play at the national level. We will play all 5 MAPL events, 3-man and 5-man, EPL Event 2, and will hopefully be playing the NPPL DC Challenge and PSP New Jersey Open events as well.

DO NOT BE LATE - If you can't make it to tryouts on time then how can we count on you to make it to practice on time.

When you get to the field, check-in and pay your entry/paint and then look for us, we will be right around the pro shop.

Requirements:
You must have a job - paintball is an expensive sport.
You must have transportation.
You must be willing to commit to practicing every Sunday for the rest of the season (exceptions will be the weekends after tournaments).
You must have tournament level equipment (marker must be capable of PSP ramping set to 12.5 (or 12) balls per second).

Good Luck.

So what position player are you looking for? I cant make the first mapl event would that be ok? I could make the rest of the tournaments though. Also how old are you guys? Im 17 ill be 18 in a month but could i get into paps by myself being 17? Thanks.

TommyTwoToes · 04-05-2012, 10:29 AM

Print out the wavier online, get parents to sign it for PAPs
til you are 18

Thanks TommyTwoToes.

We aren't trying to fill any particular positions at this point - if you end up being better at a particular spot than one of our existing players then we will shift things around.

As for MAPL event 1, if you can't make it that's fine as long as you can commit to the rest and to our practice schedule. More info on that will be provided at the tryouts.

Would be great if you could make it out! Invite your friends too if they are interested.

I will be out there cageking1.
I will be there pretty early.
Also, I assume you are going to hold actual practices at another field or are you planning to do reg practices at PAPs?

cageking1 · 04-05-2012, 03:03 PM

We are in the process of figuring out our home field situation but it will most likely be at PAP.

I will try to be out saturday; I hurt my knee and if it feels better I will be there

roadrunner132 · 04-05-2012, 04:11 PM

How are the prizes divided? Just curious. And would the team have all matching jersey and pants?

Don't push yourself, it's not worth it in the long run but it would be great if you could make it. I have a brace I will bring with me as well if you want it, it's what I used when I was recovering from a torn MCL a few months ago.

Our goal as a team is to compete at the national level and move our way up through the divisions. In order to do that we need the financial support and prize winnings are the way to do that. That being said, we have decided that anything won (excluding pods/paint/medals) will be sold at the money will be used for tournament entry, tournament paint, and then practice paint (in that order of priority).

Now, say we win a gun that you want because it's an upgrade for you. You will have the option to buy that gun at a 30% discount, this way both you and the team benefit. Also, if you didn't have the money right away you would be able to use the gun in tournaments but the gun would remain the property of the team until you were able to purchase it.

I think that's more than fair, the primary goal being all winnings push the team in a national direction.

Oops, forgot to mention jerseys. We have a custom jersey design that we came up with and the team will have matching Raza MKR Pro jerseys.

As for pants, currently everyone has there own but when we start playing national events we will most likely all get Empire pants because of the benefits we will receive through our sponsorship deal.
