what do we need to do to prepare, i want EVERYONES input

i think communication is still our weakest point and we really need to work on it

we need to work on communication, and keeping a better box/strike count. also when I say work on communication, what I mean by that is this. when you watch the ducks and armageddon and the better am teams play they have like clear conversations with eachother, not just yelling where people are and who you shot. I've tried to start doing this with breakdance myles and macd and it's been working. Like I yell where my mirror's looking, where the inside guys are and which direction they're shooting if I can see it. Asking them if they can move and if not I can usually tell where the paint is coming from and help them get up the field by throwin some paint back at wherever it's coming from. It's seemed to work and I've seen the same communication on dorito side with max talking to macd shawnt and jronz. But it seems like sometimes both sides of the field are on separate pages.

We need to be a little smarter about choosing our gun battles so that we don't get shot out of our bunkers. I think we've got much better at this but there's still room for improvement for all of us.

Personally I want to work on running and gunning lefty, delaying otb so we can get more guns up or maybe just running and gunning to the corner, my shooting and reloading could be much better and I think it might be a good idea if I start filling snake a little sooner so breakdance isn't so far upfield with no support towards the end of the game, or macd or myles or whoever is playing 2nd into the snake that game.

couldnt agree more

yea i agree with mike

also i think if we can start killing more birds with less stones, that would be good. like instead of killing 2 birds with 1 stone, we can just kill all the birds with 1 stone, all we have to do is pick up that same stone and use it over and over again. if we do this well never run out of stones and well kill every single bird, thus ending world hunger...

I think you see my point

totally.

we should also start opening our hopper lids before we try and reload, otherwise we'll just spill paint everywhere, and that's bad because then you have nothing to shoot, because rather than all the paintballs being in the hopper, they are now sprawled abundantly across the turf with no chance of being loaded into the gun in a timely fashion. As a result, these paintballs will likely then get stepped on, and that paint has now been wasted. To prevent this, simply open the hopper lid BEFORE dumping the paint in, and then most, if not all, of the paintballs will be in your hopper. You will then be able to shoot the paintballs at opponents, resulting in eliminations and podium spots.

basically breakdance it is all your fault

Thank god, finally, its not my fault. hhahahha

Mike, you deffanitly have the right idea about having the conversations with the front guys. i think that helped me out a lot more, and i could also see that its mostly on one side of the field, or the other. we all have to bring it together and i think that will help out our communication problem. we also neeeeeed to keep a better box/strike count, we realllly need to practice doing this every single weekend.

i also agree, especially the part about the sides being on seperate pages cause alot of the time when i'm upfront mostly at the 40 or 50 i feel that i'm the only one looking out for myself and when i'm clearing the end and still having half the team shooting basically at me
