Tell Me about you

[reedandshanon]

ok, working on the whole website thing and I would like to have a player roster. This will help me to know what to include in the website. You don't have to go into great specifics but things like , Name (Real and/or Game Name), Location, Age (HeHe), # of years played, what markers you play with. Be specific about your style, talk about anything you like.

If you were looking at a website for a bunch of players that you don't know, what would you like to know about them ?

How about fields that you have played on, what do you like/dislike ? Where are they located ?

What style of Paintball do you like the most and why ? Woodsball, speedball, etc...........

I'm a relatively new player myself so I don't know what I would want to see on a website. I'm thinking about what we like, and as they say "BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME !!!""""

Here's something I did a yr. or more ago for a team project:

When did you start playing paintball: 1983
Why do you play paintball: I played “Cowboys & Indians” and “Army” as a child with my friends. Paintball is an extension of that without the “I got you first”. I also really like the camaraderie that develops between teammates and rivals as well.
What is your amateur paintball history: I started playing in tournaments in 1989. At first these were Local events. In 1991 and 1992 I played in Regional events and starting in 1993 I moved on to National level events. In 1996 I helped start the Indiana Captains Council, an organization to help promote paintball in the State of Indiana. More information on the ICC can be found at: www.iccpaintball.com . In 1998 I became the Chairman of the Reffing Committee and in 1999 I created the position of Ultimate Ref for the League and filled that position myself. Being the Ultimate Ref of a statewide league that routinely had 40 plus teams at each event, allowed me to scout the most talented young players. I had a fairly successful 10-man team that was playing National level events that I would recruit these young players to.
What is your professional paintball history: In 2004 a handful of these players, myself, another team leader and a local prominent National event player, formed a new 7-man team to play in the National Professional Paintball League. We competed in the final event of the season in San Diego. We played in Division 3, which is for teams just starting out. We placed 2nd. In 2005 we played the first 2 events in Division 3 just missing the Semi-Finals in the first event. For the 3rd event we moved up to Division 2 and placed 3rd. The 4th event put us back in San Diego. This time we came in 1st. The final event of the season we made it to the Quarter-Finals. During the off-season we were given the opportunity to move into the Semi-Pro Division. We made this jump knowing that it would be a tough year, but that we would learn a lot and be able to be a upper level team in the following season. So far this year we have placed 19th, 13th and 11th. We had hoped to do better, but are showing constant improvement.
What are your individual paintball goals: Early in my career I had the desire to play at the Professional level, but work and family kept me from pursuing that goal completely. I then shifted to helping the sport grow in Indiana and through that building a team that would successfully complete at the top levels of the sport. I have recently started to work on the revival of Pump paintball at the regional level.
