Hurricane Sandy hit one of Dye’s flagship players close to home, and the time has come to do something about it.

Who: Pete “Mr. U” Utschig vs. Nicky Cuba

What: Charity Paintball event to raise money for victims of Hurricane Sandy

When: December 15th

Where: Cousins Paintball – Long Island, NY - Cousins Paintball

 

“Everyone who knows me, knows I’m a man of action” explains Pete “Mr. U” Utschig, a NYC firefighter and Tactical Ironmen from Long Island, NY.  ”So let’s stop saying we ‘want to help’ and let’s do it, and play some paintball have some fun and win some great prizes at the same time.”

To help raise money for his friends, family, and everyone else that was affected by the devastating storm Hurricane Sandy, Mr. U and Nicky Cuba have organized a charity event at Cousins Paintball in Long Island, as well as 20 other fields up and down the east coast.

On Saturday December 15th, Cousins Paintball will be hosting Operation Sandy: The Charity Game.  Dye Paintball has donated a complete set-up to be raffled off during the event, including a Reflex Marker, several sets of Rotors and i4 Goggles, as well as t-shirts and other promotional gear with all proceeds going towards the cause.

“I am asking that all paintball players around the country invite some friends come out and play some paintball on December 15 &16 to show the world what makes this Nation great. That when we get knocked down, we pick each other up, dust each other off, and come back stronger than ever!”

In addition to Mr. U’s game at Cousins, December 15th and 16th have been designated as “Sandy Relief Weekend” with over 20 fields all participating and donating their time and resources to raise money for those hurt by the recent tragedy on the East Coast.  Fields including:

The 2012 WCPPL Event #4 – Las Vegas at Vegas XTreme Paintball was a picture-perfect way to end the 2012 paintball season.  Ideal weather, an excellent venue, and big wins for DYE!

After a very successful 2012 WCPPL season, Dye is proud to report that Team Royalty took some Gold home to NorCal with a well deserved 1st place finish in Vegas and a 1st place overall ranking for the season.  Led by the legendary Mr. Shane Pestana and featuring Ryan Martin and Tokahe Hamil from the LA Ironmen, this stacked roster fought hard to redeem themselves after the recent PSP World Cup… and redemption was theirs.  Congratulations to them, and  to Team Destiny’s Kat Secor and the LA Hitmen who won 1st place in Division 3, and Northside Empire, Vegas Xtreme’s home team who won in D4.

Dye’s booth at the WCPPL Open was hoppin’ all weekend long.  There were fun contests to win awesome prizes, an Ironmen poster signing, demo’s of the DM13, Reflex, and new DAM, and of course our tech support was hard at work making sure all of the Dye products on the field were performing their best.

Another year, another PSP World Cup in the books.  350 teams have come and gone, and one Dye team was just inches from becoming the World Cup Pro Division Champs in 2012.

Damage fought hard all season long, winning the home opener in Galveston and getting on the podium at all but one event this year.  Although they weren’t able to win their finals match against Heat, Tampa Bay Damage made the podium at 4/5 PSP events this season, securing a 2nd place overall finish, a 2nd place a cup, and a mountain of respect from around the league.  Ironmen also ended the year strong with a 4th place finish at cup and 4th place overall finish, and we even had some love from South America as our boys Way Out grabbed 2nd place in D2/3 Race to 2!

On a more serious note, a special moment took place on Sunday afternoon in the Dye Booth, when the Make a Wish Foundation brought one lucky young man to the Dye Photo Wall for a photoshoot with his favorite professional paintball players.  Members of Damage, Ironmen, X-Factor, Infamous, and Houston Heat all took the time to make an appearance for a photo that he and everyone who was there will remember forever.

The Dye Photo Wall was definitely the place to be on Sunday, as players from Damage, Ironmen and CEP were hanging out and taking photos with their fans all afternoon.  The Dye “Polaroid Pics with the Pros” was a major success, with nearly 100 signed polaroid pictures being handed to any fan who stepped up to the red carpet.   This was just one of many fun activities that were going on at the gigantic 2012 PSP World Cup Dye Booth, however, as our new tactical marker, The DAM, was getting some serious attention from fans and store owners alike..

Dealing with the powerful wind that swept across central Florida all week long, the Dye crew was finally able to open up “The DAM Experience” on Sunday, a first hand look at the brand new Dye Assault Matrix.  Anyone willing to wait in line could walk through the Dye Tactical Tunnel, grab a pair of i3 A-Pro goggles, load up a few 20 round mags and go to town on Plexiglas targets and cinder blocks at Dye’s own private shooting range.  The age spectrum was vast and the fun level was high as paintball lovers of all ages lined up to shoot the new DAM free of charge.

Enjoy our photo set from Sunday the 2012 PSP World Cup.  We hope you had a chance to stop by our booth and check out the wide range of 2013 Dye Paintball products.  Be sure to like us on Facebook – Facebook.com/DyePrecisionInc and Facebook.com/DyeTactical, follow us on Instagram @DYEPaintball and Twitter @DyePrecisionInc, and stay updated via our blog for everything Dye related!

Another day, another incredible set of matches brought to us by the PSP & PaintballAccess.com!

Saturday was crunch time, the last chance for teams to prove that they deserve to be competing for the coveted 2012 World Cup Champion title.  Two teams that are definitely in the hunt are the Los Angeles Ironmen and Tampa Bay Damage.  Both teams had close matches early in the day, with Ironmen squeezing out a win over Impact, hanging the winning flag with only 10 seconds left to spare.  Damage let their early game against XSV slip through their fingertips as XSV was able to upset them 3-2, but immediately stole their momentum back when they squared off against the Ironmen and won convincingly 6-1.

Off the field, the Dye booth tried something new & fun at this event, a ‘Polaroid Pics with the Pros’ session at the official Dye Photo Wall.  Proffesional players from the Ironmen, CEP and Damage were snapping pics for hours with their fans who all got to take home the photo and get them signed by their favorite players.

Enjoy the Saturday photo gallery, log on to www.PaintballAccess.com for the pristine webcast live from the event, and get ready for an exciting day of PSP Paintball tomorrow!

SUNDAY SCHEDULE:

Ironmen vs. Infamous – 8:00 am

Damage vs. (TBD) – 11:50 am

Day 3 was full of excitement (and an unexpected wind storm) for the hundreds of teams and thousands of spectators at the 2012 PSP World Cup.  The pressure is on as teams are now fighting to move past the prelims and get in position to “#winworldcup.”

Two teams that definitely have a chance to go all the way are Tampa Bay Damage and the Los Angeles Ironmen.  Yet to lose a point at this event, the Ironmen have put up 14 unanswered points so far in the pro division, taking down Upton 187 cRew 7-0 today.  Sporting the brand new Ultralite playing gear, DM13′s, i4′s & Rotors, both Damage and Ironmen were able to keep their undefeated streaks and continue to dominate in the Pro division at this event.

Always willing to support their fans, the Dye booth hosted a massive poster signing and jersey giveaway for Los Angeles Ironmen.  Over 200 posters and 30 Ironmen jerseys were given away to the always loyal LA Ironmen fans from around the world!

We’ve got two more days of action left at this incredible event, so stay tuned for more photos here and tune in to www.PaintballAccess.com to watch the best in the world compete at the 2012 PSP World Cup!
