This isn't the first time RC has been mentioned in an online rag, but we still welcome the publicity.

CFOA Homecoming

So about two weeks or so a combined Rockin’ Cocks and RC Revolution team competed in the CFOA Homecoming event at PBC in Greensboro, NC. The field was a throwback to yesteryear as it was on a hyperball field. The field itself was two combined 5-man fields however they combined them to make one and then split it horizontally. There was a large snake on one side and what can only be described as a wall on the other. With such a large snake you would have figured players would have been all over it, but the crush and run ground made diving impossible. With that said this made for ether very defensive games or overly aggressive ones, however there was a limiting factor in all of this and I’ll get to that a bit later.

                The combined RC squad consisted of Dana, Scott (Rev) and I. With RC there were a total of 7 teams competing at this event with the favorites being RC and CPC (Custom Pump Creations). The prelims were 7 games center flag with a 3 minute time limit. For the most part everything went off well, with the exception of the CFOA truck showing up an hour late due to running out gas. But once it got there it was business as usual. RC was the second game of the day and it was against CPC. Both teams came out strong, but RC got a K off the break and then a second K fairly quick. Rayn (CPC) got me going down the snake, however Scott shot him a second later and RC broke the curse of losing the first game. Our next game was against Rock, Paper, Scissors and their aggressive play and the horrible paint made the moves possible and gave them the win. By the end of the prelims RC was 5-2 and advancing to the semi-finals ranked 3^rd by 20pts. However a scheduling error gave Freakshow only 6 games and with them and Rainbow Pump Squad were only separated in points by 1 game, so after a debate it was clear all teams would advance to the quarter finals with the 1^st place team Fluffy Bunnies getting a bye to the semi’s.

                The quarter finals did not fare well for RC as we played Rainbow pump squad who was ranked 6^th in the prelims won two straight to advance to the semi’s. Game 1 both teams started off strong, however the ongoing paint problems plagued us and Rainbow was able to pull out the win, when they pulled a run through on Dana and I after my gun went down. Game 2 started with both teams 3 up, however RC tried a run through and got shot. Then Rainbow countered, got shot, but a ref reversed the call stating Dana got shot 1^st by a different Rainbow player, which left me in a 2 on 1. I shot one played as he moved, however according to the ref I hit him but no paint remained so they left him in. After this call, my gun went down again due to the paint and Rainbow ran me down ending it for RC.

                The rest of the quarters and semi’s were upset after upset. As CPC and Rainbow Pump Squad made it to the finals, despite being ranked 5^th and 6^th going into the quarters, both Fluffy Bunnies and Rock, Paper, Scissors got knocked down to playing for 3^rd and 4^th. All said in done CPC won the event in 2 games, giving them their first win of the season and the overall season title.

                Overall RC had a great event and we got 5^th overall. We look forward to playing the CFOA next season. We would like to thank all the teams that showed up (Fluffy Bunnies, Freakshow, CPC, Rainbow Pump Squad, Rock, Paper, Scissors, and Heros in a Half Shell), our sponsors (St!ffi, Exalt, and The Lifestyle Clothing Co.), supporters (CCM and MCB), and the folks at PBC and CFOA staff. Also a big thanks to Tig from Freakshow for helping make this event happen.

Rockin' Cocks @ the CFOA

Last weekend both Rockin’ Cocks and RC Revolution competed in the CFOA Battle at the Beach.

This event is possibly the last event of the season for the CFOA Pump Division and had 7 teams competing for the final 1st place medal of the year. Here is how it went…

The teams all started to head down Thursday for the event and about two months prior the teams had
been chosen. Initially the plan was to enter three teams for this event, however all said and done only two teams made the trip, Rockin’ Cocks and RC Revolution. Rockin’ Cocks consisted of Amish, CMCD, and I all of which had been practicing together well before deciding to enter this event. RC Revolution consisted of Scott, Dana aka The Shark and Bob. The Revolution team hadn't practiced together too much before the event due to work or illness.

However none of this mattered because when we arrived at the field the morning of the tourney it was a cool 89 degrees and by the time play started it was 113 degrees.

The day started off early, both teams arrived at the field around 9:30am despite not having to take the
field till around 12:30am. Even though we had the layout in advance, we still wanted to walk the field and check the lanes. The field layout was somewhat aggressive, with a dominant snake and a d-side that seemed to make or break games. Most teams chose to send two players on the snake side and one on the d-side, however a few teams differed here and there.

The first game for either RC team was RC versus Custom Pump Creations and true to tradition RC lost the
first game and that tradition also seemed to follow RC Rev. However after that first loss, RC had gone 3-1 and RC Rev was holding their own and then it happened… RC versus RC Rev. RC switched the break-out for the 3rd time this event with Amish going out to D1, CMCD staying back center, and me going to the snake corner. RC Rev broke-out with Dana going to the snake side Tall Mayan, Scott staying back center and Bob going to the D-side. The first K came when Dana got shot by either CMCD or I. After that I was able to fill the snake and Amish got a quick shot on Scott who was in the bunker next to him crossed up on me. At this point the feeding frenzy was on, however Bob shot Amish and continued down the d-side. Which lead to a battle between him and CMCD, confident CMCD would win, I jumped out of the snake and grabbed the flag, about this point I heard CMCD call out and I realized Bob was now somewhere around D3 or D4 on our side of the field and I was on their side of the field. Rather than chance losing a gun battle, I ran with whatever energy I had left and dove into the flag station hanging the flag for the win. After that game each team had one game left and won both. Now the wait to hear who was moving on to the semi-finals, when the announcement came it was Custom Pump Creations in 1st(7-0), RC in 2nd (6-1), RC Rev in third (5-2) and DNS in 4th (5-2). Now normal thinking would have figured it would be CNP vs. DNS and RC vs. RC
Rev, however the semi’s where CNP vs. RC Rev and RC vs. DNS.

I honestly don’t remember much of the semi’s except we won and RC Rev didn’t, which faced CNP vs. RC
for and 2nd and RC Rev vs. DNS for 3rd and 4th. The first match of the finals was RC Rev and DNS which went to time. The next match was CNP vs. RC and that two went to time. The second match was RC vs. CNP and that game ended with an RC win. The winning moment came when I shot the back center in the face as he tried to fill the 40 center small dorito, rather than going out he stayed in and got a 1 for 1. After this with the help of CMCD, I ran down the snake player and RC had the first win of the finals. The next game was RC Rev vs. DNS and this was a close game. It came down to Scott and Dana in a 2 on 1 versus 1 DNS player. Scott on their side of the field and Dana in the snake, Scott told Dana to grab the flag and pull a Chrispy (me) but Dana didn’t hear him and within a few second both had been shot, however DNS could not hang the flag prior to the time running out. The last game of the finals was tense, all we had to do was draw the game and we won. Both teams had clean break-outs and the game began to stalemate, however one of the CNP guys shot Amish on the d-side and then proceeded to fill our D1. All pinched in CMCD and I tried to fend of the fill and luckily CMCD shot the guy in his stick feed. But in the process got shot by the snake guy, this now left me in a 2 on 1. Luckily I had just reloaded and both players where on the snake side of the field and about 15 intense seconds later time was called and the game was over. RC had just won their first tournament ever. RC Rev and DNS played one last final game which again came down to time and RC Rev finishing in third due to DNS being able to pull the flag in game 2.

Overall it was a great event, and I probably didn’t realize it until the next morning when we were chilling
on the porch at 10am reminiscing about what we had just accomplished. Additionally I want to give a big thanks to the CFOA peeps, the folks at Adventure Beach Paintball, all the teams that showed up and grinded it out despite the heat, my teammates, our sponsors Exalt, St!ffi, The Lifestyle Clothing and our supporters MCB and CCM. We also want to give a special thanks to Dan and his parents for letting us use their beach house.

Additionally please stay tuned for the epic tale of Bob and Chris go to Cook Out…A seven hour tale of two

Pev's Free 5-Man Tournament (May 15, 2011)

So yesterday was the PEV’s 5-man PTS Tournament at PEV’s Paintball in Aldie, VA. The weather was great, despite the poor forecast and the fact that it had been raining all week prior to the event. The event had two divisions, Novice and Open, of which RC played the open class. There were 10 teams in the open class and it was split into two divisions with each team playing 4 Race to 2 matches. Additionally the open class division was 12.5bps and snake side coaching was allowed.

Mother's Day Practice @ Pev's (May 8, 2011)

So over the past weekend Rockin’ Cocks and RC Rev had team practice at Pev’s Paintball in Aldie, VA. This weekend was a chance for a few to kick off the cobwebs and others to spend time with their momma’s. The weather was great and the field was great as usual and the layout is still the 2011 NPPL Chicago, which confidently saying RC has on lock seeing as we never lost a game all day. We also had a few new peeps out there this weekend.

The first part of practice was Rockin’ Cocks versus RC Rev. RC Rev consisted of Scott and a few new players this weekend, Tony, Dana and team frequent flyer Bob! Rockin’ Cocks consisted of Amish, O, EZ and I. The games for the most part were pretty even and players swapped in and out of both teams all day, we also picked up the occasional walk-on to make 5 on 5 and we even played a game with J-Rab of team Russian Legion/Arsenal. He was a little shocked that we all played pump, but we showed him a thing or two.

We also played a few teams that were there such, as Iron Legion and team Swag. Iron Legion would only play us if we picked up two other players so we did and we played them 7 on 5. We rolled them convincingly finishing with 3 up, after that they refused to play us anymore. We also played 3 games with team Swag. Game 1 was close and it ended with a 2 on 2. O and I were the only ones left for RC, I was in the snake (S1) and O was on the d-side. Swag had S3 and the 50 roller. The roller looked away and I took off and ran train on the snake guy, right as I shoot him, the roller looked back and bounced me, and a second later shoot me. O then shot the roller and that was game one. We rolled Swag in game 2, 5 up and probably less than a minute. Game 3 came down to a 3 on 2, with EZ and me being the only RC guys left. Swag had the snake corner, there 50 wedge, and the d-side cube. I was stuck in S1 and EZ was in either D1 or D2. For some reason the snake corner looked away and I got into S3, I shot the 50 wedge and then somehow EZ called himself out. It came down to a 2 on 1 at this point, they didn’t know where I was until the corner saw me. For some reason, the cube tried to fill over and I shot him, then the corner tried to run me down, but between me shooting him and him running out of bounds he was out. RC would finish with 3 wins straight over Swag.

The last game of the day was RC versus RC Rev, it was a 3 on 4. The game started off with a clean break-out for both teams, however RC Rev pushed the field a little more and had the 50 wedge pretty quick. Amish tried to end that, however he bunkered the wrong Wedge, but O finished off Scott. EZ then filled it and shot O, so it came down to a 3 on 1. EZ filled our D1 and Dana moved to our snake brick, Tony stayed in the snake corner on their side. I shot EZ on the hopper and then Dana as he tried to come and shot me, I then went down the snake and shot Tony. Tony played smart going from the corner to the back center, however I ran him down and that was it.

Overall the practice was pretty successful and next weekend RC will be playing in the PEV’s PTS 5-man Tourney. Tony, Dana, and Bob all played great and are always welcomed to come and play with the team. Stay tuned for the after tourney update!
