The Season has begun! This past weekend
I grabbed the lens and hit the road down to Camp
Pendleton on the California coast. It was the first event
of the famous West Coast Paintball Players League
(WCPPL) This event is owned by Michael Hinman who is
no stranger to the world of Paintball. He has Jerry Cleve
at his side who is committed to each and every event.
I think however... that this was the first time that I have
been in Oceanside where the sun shined all day! Being
from Arizona, the sun beating down was no shocker
to me. Players did a great job and finding shady spots
between the matches and keeping themselves hydrated.
And I know many a team found their way to the beaches
to cool off, after a long day playing.
There were new teams and seasoned teams at this event,
all vying to prove themselves the best, or to just show
how hungry and ready to try and beat out the previous
seasonal winners.
Friday we saw D2, D3 and some of D4 play hard. A lot
of matches we saw the point for point battles and a
lot were trying to play the pockets. This took a turn on
the Saturday, as teams stepped up the aggressive play
a couple notches and showed no mercy. Sunday it was
time for D5 and I have to give a shout out to those
Young Gunz! They were all kids and their jersey’s were
looking sharp!
As the D5 teams were getting their feet wet on the field
for the first time, we saw D4, D3, and D2 start the finals.
It was rough as teams went against equally competitive
teams, all hungry for the win. Ultimately there can only be
1 winner in all 3 brackets...
