RC Army: Home of the Rockin Cocks and the RC Revolution. Pump Paintball in Virginia: Monday Monday Monday...

Welcome to the Home of the RC Army

The Rockin' Cocks started as a three man pump team at a local Charlottesville paintball tournament in 2006. Since then the Rockin' Cocks have expanded to a full roster and network of teams across the world. The RC Army represents that family of pump players made up of the Rockin' Cocks, The RC Revolution (Northern VA), RC Red Star (Australia) and RC Sweden.

We play all kinds of paintball but what we love is playing tournaments with pumps. We don't care what the other team is shooting as long as we've got our pumps...we are having a good time.

Monday Monday Monday...

With the event being shifted due to the holiday weekend, everyone was trying to make it to Monday. The pump division was not without its drama in the Sunday-Monday transition. With 11 teams in the pump division, the initial call was to send the top 4 teams to the semi-finals. However, one of the teams pulled out the NPPL rulebook which stated if the divisions had more than 8 teams, 8 teams would go to the semi finals. Unfortunately, this happened over a few hours and some of the teams were already headed home. I think everyone made it back for Monday play some had to turn around while they were already on the road and find hotel rooms for the night.

The seedings for the top 8 teams were as follows:

Total Grief

Vigilante

Rockin Cocks

STL Stingers

FPPL Scrubs

Stones Knives

Rubber Duckies

University of Illinois

The University of Illinois brought their first match against Total Grief to 1 win-1 loss-1 draw, forcing a one on one. In an impressive upset, UoI sent Grief home. We (along with Vigilante and FPPL) won the first matchups in two games.

We took an upsetting defeat against FPPL knocking us out of contention for first place. It's a story involving mishaps, penalties and pain that I would rather not re-tell.

Our final matchup was against UoI for third. We had a strong first game...then the deluge came. Everyone had to wait out a storm for about 30 minutes before we could resume the finals. We dropped our second game against UoI but we were still in the running. We had a good sense for UoI's playing style and felt that we had a shot...as long as we stayed alert.

Just as the game started, the rain started to come down again. The game was down to 3 on 3 with me and Chrispy in the snake and Amish in the car wash. Each side dropped a body bringing it to a 2 on 2. This is where we had to stay alert and watch for the UoI trade. The snake corner player came down my wire and we traded, leaving Amish and one of theirs. The two players danced around in the rain shooting and moving and unfortunately, Amish bounced the UoI player and was shot shortly after. It was a tough loss but overall, we played solid paintball and are looking forward to playing DC.
