BTOed...well worth it!

AMOK living on the edge.... one hand steering and SMS

Three of us from TD - Amok, Houdini & Myaadraal - went for the BTO (Basic Tournament Orientation) session at Red Dynasty today and had a blast!

For those not in the loop, due to regulations and restrictions by the Singapore Police Force, players who want to play without the centreline in a speedball field need to be certified by the Paintball Association of Singapore (PBAS). This is accomplished by taking the BTO for a nominal fee which include marker, mask rental and a hopper-full of paintballs.

Stay away ... my balls stray..


Calgar gave us a very detailed briefing on rules, safety and overall gameplay with a cameo appearance by King who assisted with a few theatrical poses to illustrate a few points.


Houdini... now you see me ..


After the briefing we went ahead with a couple of rounds but we were all put into random groups so that made a mess of TDs pre-BTO planning sessions and wasted all those diagrams and video reviews we've run through.

Well ok. We didn't do all that but we did watch a lot of youtube videos!

Anyway, it was fun getting back into paintballing and the two matches we had did get the adrenaline rushing a bit. Scary part in the second game was when this kid sprinted past me towards our deadbox and as I was laying into him, I saw Myaadraal running past me and I actually cringed expecting the sting of the shots on my back.

But all he did was run right past and grab the flag before one of us hit him in the crossfire. Found out later the muppet wasted all his rounds trying to suppress our back player and was out of ammo. HA HA.

Houdini was in his element as well capping a couple of players although he was called out twice when he wasnt actually hit. First time he called himself out after feeling a bounce but I reckon he just didn't wanna get hit by half a dozen balls cos he was the last man and was facing two charging opponents. Hehe. Second time he was called out cos the marshals just wanted see how he reacted to being called out. It was part of the test I guess.

Anyway we all passed and will be able to play and train for future tournaments without the centreline and we'll be getting into the act for sure. We've been bitten by the bug now and I must say the professional way Red Dynasty is being run is also a good factor. Great job guys, we'll be seeing you often for sure.

By the way, your's truly didnt even get one speck of paint on him :D


A lot of JT luvin..
