LiveLeague 2011:Oulu (#4)

Posted by  on 26 August 2011, 10:00 am

Polar bears ahoy! Oulu is a former big technology center of Finland. Situated in the Gulf of Botnia, with Sub arctic weather. Both Finnish weather services promise atypically warm weekend, with temperature rising to low 20′s Centigrade. Hope they are also atypically acurate in their forecasts, because they’ve been lousy all summer. Ah, but don’t let me digress any more, you’re here for Finnish League round #4.

Last round. Last push of the season. With troublesome #3 round we are now tied in the first position with Trivoga. Dream Team also has a possibility of being Champions, but both Trivoga and We need to play really lousy. It will be interesting to see how the teams will cope with the different field design.

Liveleague and LiveBlog will continue with only League, sorry. Scores and standings after the break.

LiveLeague 2011:Turku (#3)

Posted by  on 29 July 2011, 9:29 pm

After most of our team has had some summer holiday action in resorts around Europe, it is time for next Finnish league. Actually we are not in Turku, but in Piikkiö. A nice rural industrial area, where Dream Team has their field.

After two victories in earlier leagues we are coming to Turku with a strong training resume under our belt. Even with holiday season underway we continued with our standard 3-times-a week practice pulse. It was nice to see other teams also wanting to train with us and on Wednesday we played ~15 points with Dream Team on the league pitch. We were humbled by DT’s strong gun power and took only a few points during the evening. I am sure that we are now more pumped up, as we don’t want to repeat this on league-proper.

As standard we will be giving league scores point by point and Sundays Division 1 games game by game. Liveblogging is still under advisement but we will see what we can do.

League Round #2 Kirkkonummi, postmortem

Posted by  on 23 June 2011, 11:15 am

Second league round is now behind us and What results! We took the league round by storm and division 1′s respectable second position was great advancement from the disappointment of the first round.

Saturday started with league and first matchup was Cyclone vs. Urho. Urho’s roster has changed quite a bit from last year and they ended last in SPBL’s first round. We started the game aggressive with pushing both sides of the field. We took the first point. In next point Urho shot our guys from the moves and Raffe was left alone in the snake. 1-1.  Point number three ended up to Cyclone with a 141 for Urho deciding the point. 20 seconds was enough to choose a victor for the fourth point with both sides of the field rampaged by our guys. You would think that this would have broken the back of Urho, but they mustered their players and quickly took next two points. Last point was again a quick point and we took a close 4-3 victory. Some of the loosing points were decided by penalties, which have been a problem point for us in the past. So in next games we needed to be more strict with our own eliminations.

LiveLeague 2011:Kirkkonummi (#2)

Posted by  on 18 June 2011, 8:44 am

Welcome to live scoring service for league round 2; sorry no bikini girls waiving a cardboard sign. Kirkkonummi, Finland, lays about 30 klicks west of Helsinki. Here you find rolling fields of  wheat, a paintball field and us liveleaguing. Will young and fast Take Over finally take gold, with the last rounds teachings under belt? Will Cyclone continue to reign supreme? Or will the others show their true colors. You will see it here! Games start at 9:00 Saturday with League. On Sunday Div 2 plays the morning and Div 1 the evening halfs.

Again we will do a little bit pick and choose what we will cover. This time it will be League, Div 1, Div 2. We will try something new again. I will live-blog Cyclone League games and medal matches for league. My prose is often compared to those of Harlequin books, so we’ll see how it goes. We’ll also push some videos to the site (quicktime plugin required, sorry).

Please answer a quick survey, it’ll take a moment and we will customise our work next round based on answers:

Survey (in Finnish)

Survey (in English)

Live League: 2011 #1 Ikaalinen

Posted by  on 13 May 2011, 10:00 am

We Won the League! Next stop Div 1 on Sunday.

Thank you HD for taking care of scores for Saturday. For Sunday We will have Jarkko updating scores.

Thanks to our readers, next time bigger and better.

We’re back with the one and only point to point Score Service in the whole wide of Finland. Like last year, which by all metrics was a success, we will cover League point by point and Div 1 game by game. We will probably throw in the final games from all divisions also, so stay tuned.  In future rounds we will try live blogging Cyclone games, but we are yet able to do this.

So, first league round will be played in Ikaalinen a town some 250 klicks from downtown Helsinki. Games are played on Bitburg layout with the schedule divided to Div 3 and League for Saturday.  On Sunday Div 1 and 2 are fighting for gold. Continue reading ‘Live League: 2011 #1 Ikaalinen’ »

Vegan Paintballing: No Cows Were Injured Making This Post

Posted by  on 24 September 2010, 4:16 pm

Lovingly stolen from Paintball.fi

Finally something “totally” new at Paintball Extravaganza!

Hydrotech introduces to the industry a new way to make Paintballs. Corn starch based capsule with 98 % water fill sounds like an orgy for us meatly challenged persons. We all have heard these marketing presentations, but this atleast sounds something which might totally change the game of Paintball. Please check the youtube clips at Paintball.fi.

I have few issues that weren’t  covered in presentation. What will cleaning barrel breakes be like? What will cleaning of clothing be between games; is it staining? What will the flight characteristics be? What will Cleaning bunkers be, at least the third clip showed that the dried film is quite hard. Also interesting to see how the gelatine-based industry will adapt to this new product. Ramp up to global market will propably be slow, so time table to our small island here in the Arctic will be in far future?
