...Or Wimpy’s Still Standing Around Tournament for those of you not in the know.

The folks out at ZwackerZ paintball were kind enough to hold another tournament in honor of our dear friend Wimpy as a last hurrah before he leaves us to join his wife Jane in the land down under.

The turn out was a little smaller than Wimpy’s Last Stand with a total of 6 teams. The G.I. Juniors made a return appearance and played like little champs, great job guys! WeMow brought a team all the way from Roanoke and played their first tournament using pumps, they seemed to enjoy it. ZwackerZ home team, the Zee Crew also made their return appearance. Our buddy Amish defected to the darkside and joined with JoBob and some other friends on Toothless Aggression and played SEMI (semi!) The Revolution made it down all the way from NoVA and of course the OG Rockin Cocks crew (currently using the title RC Illuminati) was there, with some new faces. Regulars Johanna, Kyle and Lucas were joined by EZ and Kendra in their first RC tournament appearance. Frieda and C-Robb joined Wimpy on the reffing crew.

Anna at ZwackerZ had some t-shirts printed up for the tournament which is a great momento of Will’s last tournament stateside. Will spent the entire day as the Ultimate Ref and did an excellent job. Kudos to all of the refs for standing out in the extreme heat all day. Did I mention the heat before? No? Well it was sweltering.

Details of individual team performances elude me so I will post the final standings-

1st place – Toothless Aggression (SEMI!)
2nd place – RC Revolution
3rd place - RC Illuminati
4th place - Zee Crew
5th place – WeMow
6th place - G.I. Juniors

The day ended with a big game of defending the Alamo. Amish and his team were the defenders of the Alamo (or barn) and the rest of the players attacked from 2 sides. Great fun was had by all.

The RC crew from Charlottesville ended the day having dinner at the Solo gas station somewhere between Scottsville and Dillwyn. The food was good but the company was excellent.

Special thanks to Anna and her family at ZwackerZ Paintball for the tournament and for thinking of Will in his last days in the U.S. We will all miss you Will!
