Luigi 3 years to get a victory over Bowzer but we finally did it. Thank you Princess and all the teams that played for and against us... I always enjoy my time at Crazy Bills and this event was awesome. With the large number of players and all the improvements Carl has made to the field, I really love playing the new prison. The power ups and bonuses written into the game by Tom “Tomcat” Cunningham made this a fun game. Our pre registration numbers were low so we ended up with most of the walk on registrants that morning. Which was a very good thing. Team Luigi/Princess pushed hard from the start and never let up. I look forward to this event every year, we will be back for more!” It was immediately apparent the new prison complex located at the 50 on field would be the main point of contention for both sides. The battle itself was relatively simple, points were awarded for flag stations each half hour with sub missions that included eliminating either the Princess or Mario throughout the day. As well a tower was cordoned off and each hour on the hour for a 20 minute window, players controlling that area of the field could access the tower and take a “mid game selfie” using their cellphones which after tagging game officials on Facebook were then awarded points as monitored from the administration table. The final battle was for slap sticks located at the 50 mid field. Last year Bowser and his evil forces swept the field. This year the opposite held true as Luigi and the princesses came to exact revenge and return from exile. Luigi and the Blue team managed a successful campaign with flag control a majority of the day and taking firm control of the slap sticks all the way to the end for a sweeping victory. In the midst of what appears to be great changes in paintball industry, closures of pro shops and fields all over, Crazy Bills, home of the “bring your own paint” continues to see healthy growth, fast becoming one of those popular destination games in the province each year. • • • www.paintball.media 091
