Throwing it Back 3x

With the Throwback 3-Man Tournament going down this Sunday, we wanted to answer a couple questions that have been sent our way and fill you in a bit more on the rules and format.


Equipment Rules

  • Mech only or electro capped at 5.5
  • Limited paint
  • One loader and one pod per game
  • Pump players are allowed to bring out equivalent paint
  • No expanded shell hoppers.
  • Gravity or agitating loaders only. No force-fed hoppers.


How are we defining what a "force-fed" loader is? Any loader with a tray that sorts paintballs into a line and forces them down into the feedneck will not be allowed.


Three examples of loaders that are allowed:

  • JT Revolution (Revvy)
  • Protoyz Speedster
  • Any gravity fed loader


Basically, if you want an electronic loader on your marker, it must be what is described as an "agitating" feed system. We do have Speedsters and Revvys in stock in the proshop if you want to pick one up in the morning.


We've had a couple questions about using your existing electronic loader and pulling out the tray so it's gravity fed. Yes, that will be allowed, but it must be the normal shell. No expanded shells will be allowed.


Format

We will be running a race-to-two round-robin format. You can have up to 5 players on the roster (if we told you more over the phone or in person, that's fine we'll allow it). 


Rules

We loosely follow ICPL rules. We don't follow them to the letter, and any larger rule changes will be announced at the captians meetings starting at 9:00 am on Sunday. This is meant to be a laid back, fun tournament experience and it will be ran as such.


  • Please wear a long sleeve jersey/shirt
  • Please limit the amount of orange you wear
  • No dead man walks (Yes, it's hilarious when it works. No, we're not allowing it)


Other Notes

  • Gates open at 8:00
  • Check in will begin when the hut opens. That's usually around 8:30-ish
  • Paint is $60 per case
  • Captains meeting is at 9:00
  • First game will go out right after the captians meeting
  • Sign ups end Friday Night at midnight
  • An email will be sent out to each captian on Saturday
  • If your team is eliminated, they are free to go play with the walk ons for the rest of the day. Paint is the same across the facility.
  • Prizes and trophies will go to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.


Field Layout

Here is what the mounds field looks like. There's quite a bit more grass now.


We currently have 8 teams signed up. We'll be capping it at 12. If you'd like to play in Sunday's tournament, you can register below.

December 18, 2024
The final weekend of the 2024 season has come and gone. Normally, we shut the field down and go into hibernation until March. This year, things will be a bit different. We are taking a few weeks off to spend the holidays with family and friends, and will reopen on January 4th, 2025.
November 7, 2024
The final scenario of the year is this weekend, and it's BYOP! For one day only, we are bringing the 80's back. Collect Mario coins and VHS tapes, go Back to the Future, experience a Nightmare on Elm Street, or spend a Weekend at Bernies. Nostalgia is the name of the game, and we are here to deliver the good times.
