Black Karma - Season of Change
As we approached
Badlandz Paintball in Crete, Illinois, we reflected on our journey over the
past few years. As a team, we have had many fun adventures, trying times, and
grown close as a family. We came to the UWL International Masters event to see
if we belonged in the league we have chosen to compete in. We started out as
friends who enjoyed this crazy, adrenaline filled sport
of paintball, but made the decision to transition from Scenario ball to
competitive Woodsball.
The competition was
intense at the event. Teams flocked to the venue from throughout the United
States, Mexico, and Panama. Our 5-man team progressed up through the
preliminary rounds with a perfect record, no doubt in part to our awesome HDE
attire and Black Karma Geo 3.5's. In the finals, we lost a well-earned win in
the last few seconds of the match to some fierce competitors. We left the UWL
International Masters with 2nd place win in 5-man Division and a desire to
train more for next season so we can claim the title. This is definitely a
format where we feel “at home,” and look forward to many more competitions.
A week after the UWL
event, some of our younger (and less weight challenged, I might add!) teammates
competed in the last event in a series of Beginner Speedball Tournaments at
Paintball is Good in McCalla, Alabama. Competitive Speedball is definitely
outside of our comfort zone, but this helped us see a different perspective of
play than we are used to. After progressing through the tournament throughout
the year, our boys made us proud and brought home 1st place. Thank you, Planet
Eclipse, for your continued support. We can always count on your gear to
perform flawlessly at our events, no matter what the conditions are.
Next up on our
calendar, November 6th-8th, is the annual MPP Game of Thrones event at Bearclaw
Paintball in Fayetteville, Tennessee. As in previous years, there will be two
beach landings: one to start the game, and one at night lit by three huge
funeral pyres. The vendor list grows each time we check, and I’m sure Planet
Eclipse will be there. Stop by our Kompound and try our cobbler! If you have a
favorite recipe, let us know on our Facebook page and we might make it. All you
have to do is show up and enjoy. Hope to see you there!
