those are numbers of box bought/used INCLUSIVE the pods in back-pack, not forgetting the testing & chrono after adjusting/repairing markers... actual paint used was abt 10+ boxes..
we go in the field carrying 2-3 pods & full loader each, everage i'd say 2500 per game BUT actual usage is less than that - slightly over 1000 per game only maa & we played 18 games in total...

hehehe.. abt the same pellet consumption - in runs in the family
M7 doesn't really use up lotsa pellets anyway...

for now, at our level (or at least mine), type of marker is just secondary, skill & teamwork is more important... don't be surprise, a team using all mech can defeat an all-E team - happened during the recent mpoc...
just like cars, it all boils down to the one behind the wheel - be it a porche or ferrari, the auntie will still drive it at 60..

frankly, unless u r planning on doing some 'set pieces' or 'coordinated movement', u don't really have to wait for team training session. 'basic' means ur own personal skill laa.. u can do it on ur own initiative, just need a little imagination & creativity..

some of the boring drills u can do on ur own.. (just ignore those 'org gila' phrase thrown at u)
- snap-shooting > just 'snap' at a target from behind a bunker, 1 shot each time.. see how many times u can really hit the target, or better yet, pin-point where u wanna shoot.. not as easy as it looks..
- running & shooting > set up an obstacle course & see if u can hit all the targets without slowing down (we did this b4, remember?)
- fitness (incl. dives & slides) > u don't even need to pay to do this, any part of the field will do..

do this & u'll find out soon enuff how much u suck at it...
start slow with nearer target, add more as u progress.. u'll see the benefit when u do actual team training..

good luck...

me no cikgu la.. just sharing info... & doesn't mean it's all correct, waiting for the seniors to comment on it...

M7 game is slightly diff from M5, which is the normal format we play..
15mins game time is the actual game time, meaning everytime a team scores, time will stop during the break & will start again after the 2min break.. something like the game time in NBA... during this 15-minute period, teams are to score as many points or the max 5pts, as we play it here..

the raskal vs northern shield last time lasted for abt half an hour & raskal won by 5-0... but the actual game time was like 4min 24sec if not mistaken - less than a minute for a point.. that's fast, man..!

since u most probably be going to kuantan end of march, guess u have to wait till june to see it... but then, u can always come over to BJ on sundays & see how they play...

then u can come over to see lah... M7 only played during lunch break, come watch then go back study laa

yeah.. esp a week or 2 b4 tournament starts..
in M7 paint comsumption is low bcoz it's a fast-paced game, u don't really have time to reload, even if u do, maybe only 1 pod...
hmm.. m just curious why teams playing in M7 play differently when it comes to M5.. using same field layout maa..

whenever u see a player testing out (dry fire) a marker, u'd see they do it by walking the trigger & most of them very fast, able to finish a loader in one go... - u can see this in most pro/am M5 games, so which mode one is using doesn't really matter here, be it full or semi auto... they spray out strings of paint just the same...
btw, pro/am div can use ramping mode - psp..

in short, shoot only when necessary/needed...
..yeah i know.. easier said than done, the temptation is too great to resist.. esp when u r holding (in ur mind) the greatest marker in the world...
-stay focus at the main objective - 'capture the flag & hang it with possibly zero casualty on ur side'.. not 'shoot them up kow-kow..'

**yeah.. we are no guru, just sharing & reminding, esp to ourselves, abt the important things...

'open marker' means u can use whatever marker u fancy, even if it's a mech..! but u'll have the disadvantage in term of speed...

the 'full auto' is actually NXL mode - *refer to page 21, post #408 for explanation on this mode*

tumpang bangga lor...

if tumpang glamour then u'd see me (or my butt) in the pix la...
it's more like over-seeing from afar...
she started playing with us & even played a tournament together... got potential but can't really stop players from going to a more 'properous' ground, right..? if not for the sponsorship, she'd be back playing with us...

u come up with the funding la... sure can one... hehehe

got few questions..

1- eligibility & status - open to all or only MMU? can D2/D3 (of either of the major league) play tho stated there 'rookie'...?
2- game format - knock-out or what?
3- marker - house or open? how abt self-owned marker (mech or E)?
4- additional pellets - put in loader only or can bring extra pods in?
5- scoring system - nppl or millennium?
6- more details - got website or something other than calling the contact person? (jenuh la dia nak jawab semua phone calls)

these are the FAQs for almost every tourney... 5 & 6 tu saje je but knowing it would be good also..

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions maa...
should have answered even b4 ppl start asking, else u'd be answering the same questions over & over again..
