NCPA Class AA Event at Crim's Paintball, Bear DE - Drexel Open
Sending a team down Friday night, this event was a great time had by the members of the team who went. Teams from Drexel University, Penn State, Maryland, Temple University, Steven's Institute of Technology, and Liberty University as well as RPI attended. Strong teams from other schools led the pack, the top finisher being Liberty University. Inconsistent play plagued the RPI team, finishing 8th out of 12 teams and moving to 49th in the nation in Class AA. A very valuable experience, we know as a team what we need to work on over the winter and bring to the table at the next Class AA event in February at the Frost Bowl.

5 man Tournament at Camelot Paintball, MA - WNEC Open
On Sunday, November 10th, RPI Paintball sent three teams to Western Massachusetts to play in the first WNEC Open. This tournament included teams from the local area, Springfield College, UMass, and Western New England College (2, WNEC). A well run event, the RPI teams placed 5th, 6th, and 8th overall. After some very close games and some debatable calls, RPI Black missed 4th place and a chance at the finals by very few points. It was a great learning experience for our newer players playing in their first ever tournaments and a valuable team building and skills assessment experience.
