water, they were hungry. All players and both commanders had one last event standing between them and victory, the final battle. Everyone that played Dreaded Legends 5 had to notice the spectacular orange and white jerseys throughout the field, Solstice Law was back again. The ref staff known as Solstice Law has taken the paintball world by storm. They are efficient and on point, safety and fair play are their main objectives, all while making paintball fun again. Many amazing refs have graced the Legends Events series but known as unique and proficient as Solstice Law and nobody can deny, they have style and an unmatched flare. Safety is always the main priority, or it should be, when it comes to a ref staff. Many groups make this and field paint their only priorities while leaving fair play up to the players. Solstice Law makes sure the games are safe, fair and fun. We as players of CPX events, and any other games this ref staff attends, should consider ourselves lucky. Refs make our game happen the right way, you may not always like their call but remember, they sacrifice their play time so you may have a game structure, do not forget to thank your refs. Tension and excitement were thick in the air Sunday afternoon. The Buccaneers had dominated the scoreboard on day one, but the Marauders mirrored those actions on day two. Was it enough to overcome the Buccaneer lead? Most would assume it was not. With the final battle being the only strife left in the war and nobody exactly in the know about the score, except for game staff, a thick cloud of confusion and anticipation settled over the crowd. Thirty minutes remained, one last chance, one last cannon fire thrashed through the air as warriors, soldiers, and players from both sides ran down slapsticks for a chance of propelling their team into victory and eternal glory. Players do not exactly know when the ref will score the stick so they must begin to volley it back and forth, taking hit after hit, one brave player after another gives their team an opportunity to overcome the other. Shooters lined bunkers to torch whoever dared to approach the slap stick. Photo By Zac Arbuckle www.paintball.media 033
