The 1st State Paintball Tournament was held Saturday, August 2nd at BigShots Paintball in Miami. Twenty-eight players participated in the tournament divided in 6 teams of 5. The State team was missing a couple of members, so they selected a couple of brothers to help round out the team.
We had 3 prospects in attendance and they will be attending the next meeting of their respective Chapter. Biscayne Bay and South Miami had 2 teams each and Boynton and State completed the 6 team tournament.
Because there were 3 teams on the winners bracket and had paint and time left by having less players then expected, it was decided to have all 3 teams play each other instead of one team having the chance of winning the tournament by playing just two matches.
Unfortunately all 3 teams end up in a tie and the referees didn’t count the amount of people alive in the end of the match to be used as tie break. So, the captains of the teams decided that no trophies should be issued and this would be a day of fun playing paintball.
It was a great day of fun, and Florida DeMolay offers its thanks to Dad Muraoka for organizing the paintball tournament, and BigShots for being our hosts.
