during vendor setup quickly deteriorated
Friday morning as players began arriving, as
the weather turned cool, rain fell and the wind
picked up considerably. Tents started flipping
and vendors had to batten down their hatches
to ensure awnings, tents and product weren’t
damaged by the weather, as temperatures
dropped into the forties and a chilly rain came
down. This didn’t deter dozens of hard-core
mag-fed and pump players, who took to the
CPX fields Friday afternoon for paintball games
in spite of the nasty weather.
The rain continued Saturday but thankfully
temperatures clawed their way back into the
low sixties for Saturday morning’s festivities.
Just in time for the players to converge on the
stage for the briefing, introduction of the various
“Legends” in attendance and the induction of
several longtime members of the industry into
a Hall of Fame, the rain kicked into high gear
causing players in front of the stage to huddle
under trash bags, ponchos and umbrellas (or get
drenched) as those on-stage did the same.
