Scott Surles not sure what my number is anymore 21 played for Bear Claw Factory 4-5 years ago, and DVS the 07 and 08. (had knee surgery so i didnt do any tournaments this past year) mostly local tourneys at YJP and Ntense. PRA's and a couple SEC 5 mans. in 08 we finished in top 3 at each tournament in open class (5 or 6 tournaments that summer), also won the 3 man bowling green indoor in november 2008. Since i have mostly played 3 man, positioning isnt quite the same as in 5 man, but i would say mostly mid-front (im 6'1" so im a little tall for front and depending on how well my knee is cooperating i may should try mid-back) I think one of the biggest keys to success is good communication on the field. A great game plan helps, but as we all know, they dont always go the way we plan. Being able to keep up with whats happening around the field is crucial in being able to adapt to the game at hand. I dont try and be a rockstar on the field, a team of solid players playing as a team will be a lot more consistant than a guy trying to run down the field and eliminate the whole team by himself. Im not arrogant and im eager to learn from more experienced players. Basically i dont think i know it all and everyone else is an idiot or that im the best player in the world so im easily teachable.
but anyways, this isnt a resume so i guess ill stop there. if yall have any questions feel free to ask. btw, is YJP FPO or can i bring my own? Its been a while since ive been there.

well the team will be shooting most likely spectrum so i bet your marbs will be fine but kp doesnt sell paint you would have to get if from action paintball or wallmart

Walmart and good paint should never be used in the same sentence. I'd go to Dick's and get Stingers for $40 over anything at Walmart.
Or I'd support Elite or Action Paintball (Elite is much closer).
You might get lucky at Kmart, I got JT paint for $30 when I used to work there.

Where is elite? im not familiar with that store?
