Gridfighters 2013......Event 1


Saturday, June 15th, 2013 - The 2013 season of Gridfighters kicked off this weekend strong with 10 Entry level teams, and a sold out Semi- Pro, and Professional divisions. The weather was fantastic for the Entry level divisions on Saturday, complementing an excellent day of paintball. The entry division found it’s last game of the day between top seeded teams Toronto Hectic, and School’s Out. After some long race to 3 points, ending the day off strong was Badlands sponsored team Toronto Hectic taking 1st place, shooting Planet Eclipse markers, and Inka Paintballs. 


Sunday took an interesting turn in the Semi-Pro and Pro divisions; the teams found themselves competing in the pouring rain, causing a muddy field. Making their debut in the Gridfighters Semi Pro division, Cainsville Brawlers and Terrebonne TNT showed up strong, adapting quickly to the new format. Veteran team Hamilton Anarchy returned for another year, showing why they were a dominant squad in seasons past. 



In the pro division we saw new comers Ottawa Aggression, and Brantford Stealth both make their mark. Both teams came out strong against Toronto Hustle, 2012’s runner-up, in two big upsets. Brantford Stealth went on to be undefeated after the weekend, also taking out Montreal FX, last year’s defending Champion. This division is the tightest it’s been since Gridfighters birth in 2011. Despite all the poor weather, the Gridfighters edition Inka Custom shot fantastic all weekend. Badlands Paintball has also once again stepped up on behalf of Planet Eclipse, donating a complimentary tech service to all teams who shoot Planet Eclipse markers.


Don’t miss event 2, July 20-21 in association with the X-Sports, the Town of Gananoque, and Ground Zero Paintball, where teams will compete in front of fans, alongside BMX, Skateboarding, and Rock Climbing competitions. Badlands Paintball and Planet Eclipse will also be in attendance, offering a complimentary tech service on all Planet Eclipse markers. Special thanks to Ground Zero Paintball for all their hard work!

TECH BULLETIN: CS3 HPR Body O-Rings ⚙️

Image
Whenever we hear reports of any issues with our products – no matter how small – we like to jump on it as soon as possible, try our best to understand the root of the problem and then provide a definitive solution. Over the last couple of weeks we have received reports of some inconsistent air leaks from the frame and POPS area of the CS3. Every marker that we produce is thoroughly tested prior to packaging and shipping, but unfortunately these leaks have developed after shipping, and normally at temperatures below those that the markers experience in testing. This is generally down to contraction – or shrinkage – of seals that occurs as the temperature drops. The leak can be heard from around the grips or, with the grips removed, from the Regulator Hole A in the side of the frame. It can also be heard from the join between the bottom of the frame and the POPS. We have traced these leaks to what appears to be a bath of bottom tolerance 016 NBR70 o-rings used on the brass HPR Body (see...

Mutant Warfare

Team Capital Offense   attended the "Mutant Warfare" Scenario from Guru Games at Sherwood Forest. This event utilized next gen technology replacing outdated flag stations with digital & RFID technology.  Picture Courtesy of: Matthew Walton of Guru Games  Player ca rds are now tied to the scenario and are no longer just for chronos and safety briefs. Players use their cards to capture flag stations, acquire props and return for points, conduct game missions and more.  Picture courtesy of: Jon Barber The score was tracked in real time using Wi-Fi and RFID technology and a virtual game map was displayed that showed faction control as it happened.  Players were also able to score points individually and see their ranking on the leaderboard.  Developed by Matthew "MrEspn" Walton of Guru Games, the game also integrated Discord for live event updates and VOIP chats. The event was hailed as a significant step forward in paintball innovation, attracting pla...
