Held on 21st - 22nd March 2009 the mini tourney attracted 14 teams from UiTM and all of them are students. The was was held as one of UiTM Paint Day program and organized by Jabatan Perwakilan Kolej, UiTM. The mini tourney adopt knock-out 5 men center flag format and each game is based on best of 3 games (if the score is 1 - 1, final set will be one on one game).
Before the tourney begins, a short (one and a half hour briefing) was held and what makes it special, the Campus Director also attended the briefing and he was excited to have the mini tourney organized in UiTM. He even tried to shoot some paints.
On the first day all qualifier games was played and continued on teh second day for quater, semi and final games. The games... well they are beginners, and they didn't ask for clinic, so i can't say much about their games. It's a really new player's style of play. But there's two teams that catched my attention (although they do not impressed me much). One is a team that started only with three players (i called them the "purple men " because they wear purple shirt) later to become champion and the other one is the ROTU team. The "purple men" were playing with their hearts. They combined well and manage to control their field. They are not that fast but they succeed in delaying their opponent and grabbed their win desperately. One thing i thought, they have nothing to lose. That's made them played with no fear and that made them champion. The ROTU team, they played well to as one team (because they've already trained that way) but new in paintball game. They are good i one game and that game was the best game in the tournament. Before their semifinal match i've talk to them and explained them the concept of paintball. It was just a simple explaination. I asked them to concentrate on the objective of the game, "to capture the flag and bring back safely", the backs watch for forward, the forward make their kill and grab the flag. Although they lost the semi in the final set (one on one) but they showed they real paintball gameplay in their second set. It was the fastest game adn the best game. Game on the back showered paints to the opponent forcing them to take rest behind bunker and the forward rushed toward the center and grabbed the flag and run off fast. Their opponent can't do nothing. They do not know it was game over already. That was a great game for a beginner.
The second day, a group of 30+ bikers from Brunei and Kuching joined the event. The stampeded UiTM with their big bikes. It was a bonus for that event. Thank to our crew, Amir he manage to ask his father to bring his bikers legion to join UiTM. They also played three friendly games (Brunei bikers vs Kuching biker)s before stopping due to heavy wind and rain, but still they made the event special. The result, Brunei bikers lead by 2 - 1.
What can i say more... although we were short of some bunkers and equipment (due to some problems before event) the tourney was great. The students were happy and excited. They enjoyed their game, although some small objection heard between games, it was steadily settled down and the tourney was a success. The AJK's were also great. They were very supporting and helpful.
