Nationals are coming up and luckily this year VEISHEA isn't the same weekend! We are sending two teams down this year and are currently ranked 15th in the nation! Another difference this year is the new snake bunkers will be used. It will be interesting to see and play on (granted some of our guys saw them down at Galveston, TX). As of right now we are registered and paid for. We also have our vehicles reserved...just need out hotels. We will keep you updated!

Keep an eye out for any of the gear that looks suspiciously like mine. I think we may have a caper on our hands. I just got back from break and my gear back has gone missing it is possible that it was taken either out of my Tahoe in my parking lot or out of my apartment.

On November 12, the ISU Cyclones traveled to the Missouri Open, at RiverSplat Paintball in Moscow Mills, MO, just outside St. Louis to compete in our second MICT event. We brought two teams to this tournament, which made up 40% of the 5 team total at the event. Both ISU Gold and ISU Red started out the day strong, with Gold going 3-1 in the prelims and knocking out Kansas University and Missouri University of Science and Technology (MST) in two games a piece in the Race-2 format. MST was the team that beat Iowa State out at Event 1 for 3rd place. ISU Gold dropped one series to Arkansas University, who also went 3-1 in the prelims. Coincidentally, Arkansas only dropped point was to ISU's Red line.
Leading into semi-finals, Arkansas beat out ISU Gold by 1 point, giving them a bye straight to finals. ISU Gold had to prove we deserved to be there and play another series against MST, who edged out ISU Red by 1 point in the prelims. ISU Red ended the day in 4th place, which considering they had 4 freshman and 3 players who were brand new to NCPA play, was a pretty good showing.
ISU Gold had two rounds aginst MST with no points. The first was called no point on account of a dirty ISU flag hang and the second was because our idiot captain (Aaron) yelled to grab the flag right after he got shot and was on my way off the field. The 3rd game was all us though, and we moved on to play Arkansas. We kept the games close and without penalties. With coaching from our Red line, we were able to keep Arkansas out of the snake, which had been owning the field all day. In the end, Arkansas ended up beating us 2 games to 1, giving us 2nd place.
