Hi all, i'm from Québec, Canada and my team (Me and my friends) have been playing for 1 season in a 4 man rookie season tournament. I've been around teams in the MXL and CXBL (CXBL is the highest tournament ranking and MXL is the runner up). I've been kinda amazed about how much we are hearing about cheating and SWIPES. Since we're newcomers and we have never cheated, its never been on our mind. But after hearing what Todd has just said, its true that there is positive attitude attributed to cheating in paintball even here in Canada. Its something I've been seeing since we started playing and seriously we can't understand it.
Anyway, we want to have fun playing and when i see that the higher you go, the more cheaters there are, its just painfully wrong. I've heard about someone in a MXL team (Now in CXBL) talking about how many ways of cheating there is and how to do it and everything i could think about at that time is how wrong that person really had views on paintball.
I play to have fun and to be the best. If this means that i should get hit and play better the next time around, that's what i'll do, but i will never cheat.
Well if you noticed, it's harder to play as a walkon because the amount of walkons have decreased significantly throughout this year. That could be because of a number of thing: the economy and more people dropping out of paintball or it could even be because of the atmosphere and newer walkon players being scared away.
Yeah I always hear how there used to be a bunch of walkons but then they all got scared away by the comp. Competetion is great at Raza and I loved it as a walk on myself.
That post was the first post on PBN that was actual worth the time it took to read. Thanks for posting this. My respect for you just went up. Almost back to the respect level of the GINGER FRO DAYS!
I'll be sure to get out to the field the next time I'm in SD.

the drive just keeps getting longer for me stupid oceanside...
you should be happy for the move. Mirimar is honestly no farther away and its all freeway. It sucked driving up that curvy *** road on a mountain side then to drive back into the sticks on a dirt road that at an given time your car could bottom out. Mirimar will be awesome
