Owners Group Tourney

Well, there's a couple reasons I can't...

First I'm between tippmanns right now, though a friend of mine has a couple I might trade for.

Second, I'd never be able to stick with the A5, 98, custom pro only rule. I'm the kind of guy who would pull out a Pro-lite or SL-68 II for the heck of it. In the BEOG vs Matrix owners game I used a Golden Eagle (BE's first full production semi, back when they were a Canadian company) that is probably older than a lot of the forum members here.


Big, heavy, slow, heavy, hard trigger pull (I had to soak my hand in ice after the game), heavy, long, did I mention how heavy this sucker is? And back bottle setups work great for keeping your elbow in, though with a right hand feed the hopper sticks way out.

And third, since I am an Admin for the BEOG they'd probably have me publicly flogged if I jumped ship

Oh, there'd be no flameing, I meant a literal public flogging. Or in the very least they'd strap me to a post down range of the Project Redeye demo booth.

The best part of the OGD is that it doesn't really matter which team you play for. It's all about getting together with people you only know on-line, having a good time together, and playing some good paintball. This year I'm bringing a blender...and lots of margarita and daiquiri mix.

Just to update you guys...

The event will be held in Myrtle Beach (South Carolina), not Wilmington!

Registration is due by August 25th, and can be done either through the mail or online.

We'd love to see a Tippmann team there again this year!

Also, an updated site link is www.ogpaintball.com

Will this event always be held on the east coast?

and

Are there any restrictions to mods that could be done to the gun... such as having a m98 retro-fitted with a matrix board?

procarbinefreak - Nope, no restrictions, as long as it follows our rules (i.e. no full auto, ramping, etc).

As for being on the east coast, yes, it most likely will always be located somewhere on the east coast. There's a small chance it could end up a little more central in the future, but most likely never on the west coast.
