Woodsball Challange 2-24





Woodsball Challange 2-24
The Jolly Green were one of 10 6-man teams from the state that squared off for the first semi annual Woodsball Challange held at Paintball Land in Collinsville, OK. Competition was good all day as everyone enjoyed relatively good weather for Feb. in Oklahoma. The JG were selected to be one of the first two team to play the triangular shaped field with three flag station, one at each of the teams home bases and the third at the swing base. We pushed hard to the swing base and quickly took control of the majority of the field and held our ground for the remainder of the game. We failed to reach the maximum amount of points scored due to a "rules issue" we misunderstood that "Points are given when red or blue team moves swing flag to their colored position…at the swing base it must be held for 1 minute to get total points" meant it will be reset every minute even if one team is still in control of the area. The JG continued to score large totals of points until we faced the team in the current leader, we started from the less-desirable side of the field and on top of that a few small mistakes cost us and kept us from gaining the swing base at the start of the game. We lost control of the majority of the field until late in the game when we regrouped and pushed hard and regained the swing base, but we all feared it might be to little to late in this round robin tournament. The JG closed out the tournament strong but the points lost in the first game and the mistakes in game 4 were to much of a deficit to come back from, at the end of the day the Jolly Green earned a Third Place finish and most of all we had fun playing and where able to help two team mates close out the first tournament of their paintball careers.

Thanks to Paintball Land for putting on the tournament and thanks to all the refs for doing a great job!
