New team in the making

[TheDragonJedi]

Ok Real Quick. . . I am trying to start up a team. I'm looking for players 12 yrs and older who have the passion and the means to practice every weekend. You can have any marker but Those with angels are strongly encouraged to join. The Seriousness of the team determines our longterm success. If Interested please contact me by email, ICQ, or Yahoo. You must reside in the chicago land area, That means anywhere near chicago I don't care what city it is. If you can make it to practice then it's all good. :doc: I mostly play at pbshooters in Oswego, IL. but that may change if we can find or build a field of our OWN. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THIS IS NOT A PRO TEAM (but that could change) THIS IS AN AMATUER TEAM but we need people of all skills. You may Be Required to Get an American Paintball Player Association ID # available at http://www.paintball-players.org/IDFAQ.html or SPLATT MEMBERSHIP. I also plan to attend shatnerball 3 this year http://www.celebritypaintball.com/

Hmmm... Me and my teammates live right by PBShooters. I wonder if I've seen you before... Although I usually take note of any and all Angel's I come across.

Most of my teammates shoot Angel's... If you ever get a team together give me a holla and we can practice against each other.

I was just at pbshooters yesterday, although it was a bit dead. I'll be playing challenge park for the first time this saturday weather permitting. I've got a couple of non angel owners wanting to play too so I'll be checking them out. How long have you been playing?

This is really only my 3rd real season of playing. Outside of that it was the Corporate Annual Outing or Yearly Private Group thing...nothing that anyone would call serious. For some reason most of us just wanted to play more and get serious, but were kind of embarrassed to do it in our white collar jobs. It wasn't until someone in the group spoke out that we all stepped it up a level...and for most of us cost wasn't an issue and we all got 2 or 3 high end markers.

We are on a sponsored team, but we really stink!!! It is more through connections and pity than any actual skill...

BTW, Challenge Park SUCKS!!! Don't waste your money... Only go there in a group outing and if it's your first time (because since we live so close you have to go there at least once). BadLandz and Fox are probably our best local fields.

I can't help it. My wife had spent some amount of money to get a discount rate on 10 visits to the park, So I've got to make the best of it. By whom are you sponsored? I could just as well join a team instead of making one up. Money is barely ever an issue for me and I play every weekend regardless. I consider myself somewhat good though I've only played 1 complete season. I used to work for PMI so I got to hang out with some really neat guys from aftershock and evil factory that had some really great tips. Other than that I'm technically a newbie. I also noticed you left a review of PBSHOOTERS right after I did on PBReview.com so we must have run across each other numerous times. If it helps to remember, I'm the Crazy Puerto Rican who wears the yellow PMI jersey. I used to own a blue impulse that shot like crap.

Hmmmm... You sound familar. I haven't gone to PBShooters very much since Perry sold the place.

I'm sure we could use more teammembers, let me pass it by the rest of the team. We are an extremely informal group, and I'd rather not say our sponsors names publicly... I'll save them the embarrassment of sponsoring such a wretched team.

Hmmm... PM me your email address and we should hook up.

We have only played in 3 man events and have finished in upper 1/2...although never in a top 3 finish or anything that warrants receiving prizes.
