Dyeprecision

This past weekend I was able to kill two birds with one stone. That meaning one place and to functions. I flew into Vienna Austria this past Wednesday to be greeted by my friend and teammate Philip Fischer. He was the promoter for the clinic and was the one who put the whole thing together.

I also met up with Pete Utschig that evening for a bite to eat in Vienna, he was going to teach the clinic with me but he had come in early to spend some vacation with his girlfriend for her birthday.

Pete Utschig and I taught the clinic all day Thursday, it was a very successful clinic. The players were really good and easy to catch on, although I speak English to quickly as their native language is German. We accomplished a lot which was good despite it was the hottest day of the year in Vienna. Nothing that we American weren’t used to, but the Austrians were almost melting. The clinic was very functional because there was a grand tour event this following weekend so most of the clinic patrons were able to use what they learned right away.

I met with the bullets Friday after a little site seeing in Vienna to walk the field. The European paintball Grand Tour is an on going event series that you play multiple games to qualify for the finals in Warsaw. The Bullets had an awful start to the season so we had no room for error. We needed to win all of our games with strong point differentials.

We ended up winning 4 of the 5 games losing our last game to Art Chaos a Russian Team, who houses a few Russian Legion players. The score was 4 to 5 but with us having an unusual amount of penalty’s. Losing two points that we should have scored but due ton the penalties no points were awarded to us.

Next event is in Warsaw and hopefully we can play well there to make the top four and move on to play in the finals.

Then back to my European home in Budapest to spend one day to decompress and head home to San Diego.

Dye team Bullets traveled to Solms, Germany to compete in the Deutsch Paintball Liga. Playing with a new roster it was a great opportunity for the young guys to learn paintball from CPL and SPL teams.

The German DPL is a double round robin system. Team Bullets played 5 games on the fully turfed field on Sunday. The new field taught the team some hard lessons while rewarding their hard work with several victories leaving them in the fight for the title as the DPL series progresses. Organization and reffing was good as always from the Germans for the tournament.

PRESS RELEASE:
DYE Precision signs Team New England Hurricanes to Multi-Year Sponsorship Agreement

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

San Diego, California (May 16, 2010) – Dye Precision Inc. announced today the signing of Professional Paintball Team New England Hurricanes to a multi-year agreement.

2010 is a year of change and rebuilding for the Hurricanes. Team owner, Jeff Stein says: “The Hurricanes are rolling the dice this year, taking a lot of big risks by picking up young and untested players while watching the bulk of our professional roster move on. We are starting fresh and there is no guarantee of success. What makes all of this even more gratifying is that DYE, who is at the pinnacle of both the sport and the industry, believes in us and is willing to bet on our future success and us. We are very excited to represent DYE, their products and their principles and hope we live up to their reputation for excellence.”

“As a store owner, team owner and player, I am excited by the move to DYE and the NT markers. It’s always exciting when you get new gear and get to play around and see what you can do with it, but when you are picking up and NT you know off the bat that you have a proven marker with top quality manufacturing and customer support behind it” states team coach and manager George Zervas.

Mikko Huttunen, DYE Precision’s worldwide event and sponsorship coordinator: “Team New England Hurricanes has been for years a top contender in pro paintball. We are totally confident in their abilities and are happy to support the team during this time of transition. The New England Hurricanes, aside from being a successful team on the field, have proven to be an asset off the field as well. Their sportsmanship, dedication to the sport, and their ability to help DYE continue to promote paintball in the local community as well as around the globe make this relationship a win-win for everyone.

Watch out for New England Hurricanes shooting DYE NT’s and using C10 playing gear.

Congrats to Ton Ton for taking the French Open! The event was played out at Universal Paintball’s 2 Astro Turf fields just out side of Paris, France. Two divisions and 36 teams made the event an absolute cracker! A hearty well done to long time DYE team Vision for taking 3rd this year.

Another title for the DM9, Rotor and i4!!!

Keep up the good work guys!

Hugo’s underlings charged to Victory. The picture says it all.
Great job guys and keep up the good work!

Congrats to those Angry Fishes who won the 3rd event of the LLP hosted in Albufeira nestled in the beautiful Algarve region of Portugal. Without losing a game and only losing 4 points the whole event, they definitely deserved it.

Keep up the good work guys and gals!
