Friday Night, Feb 15: The day after Valentine’s Day, we are here in McDonough, Georgia, for the first CFOA X-Ball event to help coach D3 X-Ball team, Red NRG. Hailing from Alabaster, Alabama, Red NRG is playing in D3 for the second year in a row because of the many newcomers they have added to the roster. If you’re nearby, you can catch all the action at Hot Shots Paintball in Windy Hill Park this weekend. Our first match is tomorrow (Saturday) morning at 8AM. Owner/Coach, Steve Scott, has brought along 11 players total (PSP rules states 12 maximum) to this first CFOA event. Here, the teams will be exercising the new rule where guns need to shoot at 13 (not 15 anymore like last year) balls per second. In D3, the winner of each match must be the first one to reach 5 on the scoreboard. We have a total of 3 matches, so after the 8AM match, the other two start 915AM and then at 11AM’ish. There will be one more prelim game on Sunday morning. They will play a total of 4 prelims which then determines who goes right into the Top 4 (no quarter-finals). Twenty-five teams are competing in D3, which is a big difference when compared to D2 (D2 only has about 7 lined up to play within their division). So, the competition will be fierce in D3, with 25 teams all fighting for the CFOA X-Ball #1 D3 Championship!
