MVPS - Florida by PJ: Techs On Tour

-

I glance at the weather forecast for Lithia,FL  and rain was definately gonna be present this weekend. Lithia is a small town wedged between Tampa and Lakeland. Due to some changes that happened ubruptly, Maximum Velocity Paintball Series chose this site to host event#3.   Alex Zudell and John Cao have done a great job making MVPS a top event in FL and the southeast region. Florida has always been a state with some great teams. 

Saturday morning rolled in and it was a steamer. Humidity was near 90% and temps were expected to reach 92 degrees.. Nearly 50 teams in 3 divisions were signed up to play this weekend. Dead Rabbits, Serious Business, P.T.W., Care Bear Militia and XPX just to name a few that came to do some work. 

Tech work started rolling in and with that the rain came down.Players created their own little slip and slide and held a slide competion while games awaited the rain to stop. One guy slid over 20 ft on a perfectly executed superman dive. 

Sunday arrived and thankfully it was a much cooler day although some showers rolled in throughout the day. Teams pushed their bodies to the limit contesting the heat. Alex and John set up a Cool Zone tent for the players to cool down between matches. I have to admit I snuck in there more than a couple times myself. Hydration was the key to making it thru the day. Luckily nobody experienced heat exhaustion or severe dehydration.

In D6 Race-2 (3man) Shenanigans took 1st with DMS Goon Squad in 2nd and FSP Rapture in 3rd. 

In the D5 Race-2 (5man) it was Serious Business White 1st edging out Dead Rabbits 2nd with Tampa Bay Treason nipping at their heels in 3rd. 

D4 Race-4 (5man).. Congratulations to Tampa Bay Revolution on taking the crown. Tampa Bay Notorious followed in 2nd and Southern Rage PB in 3rd.

Due to the showers the games were a bit delayed but still got completed before dark. I closed up shop and headed for home. Thank you MVPS, Alex Zudell, John Cao and especially Planet Eclipse. See you at the next event near you. 

We Got Your Back!!!

TECH BULLETIN: CS3 HPR Body O-Rings ⚙️

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...
