They do not stop with just creating an enjoyable
big game but they also bring them to fields
around the country from the East Coast to
West Coast and now including Hawaii. If you
have ever been in the middle of a difficult
mission wondering who is responsible then
look no further than Co-Producer Michael
O’Connell, one of the brains behind the
design, storyline and mission planning. CPX’s
staff is very multifaceted, they also provide
Refs who focus on the safety of the players
and mission control, led by Kevin Millette,
their response for onfield malfunctions is
quite impressive for such a big game. For
the players in attendance to Living Legends
12 you may have noticed a highly motivated
and very animated Ref staff. Solstice Law is
a very experienced crew that focus on player
safety and sportsmanship throughout the
game, and they also lend a hand to CPX to
cover missions. Their determined focus and
enthusiasm for their job has left a noticeable
mark in the Paintball community. Last, but not
least by a long shot, is our photographers. A
photographer’s journey doesn’t just start on
Friday like everyone else, their journey starts
days, even weeks, in advance. They are
responsible for the reliability, protection and
production of their expensive equipment.
Our photographers put their body and
their equipment on the line to make our
experience much more enjoyable, infact,
all these people mentioned above not only
place their body and equipment in danger
but they also spend much of their free time or
vacation days to enhance the experience for
the player. If and when you ever receive the
opportunity, show appreciation and patience
for the people working hard for the player.
Day 2, rise and shine, the question of the
morning was not what had to be done.
That question was simple, Di Inferi had
to dominate the day to give them an
opportunity to take home the win. The
question was the weather, with rain on Friday,
thunderstorms on Saturday and forecasted
rain all day Sunday would the Red team
have the opportunity or the forces to take
on Blue. With the sun shining early morning
Sunday players were not concerned with
what would be later in the day, que sera sera,
they were only concerned with the situation
at hand, WAR! The Red team, slighted from
the previous day, had everything to prove
and nowhere to go but up. The Blue team,
sitting in a comfortable lead, had momentum
in their corner and domination in their eyes,
they wanted a clean sweep.
