ATWL Event Three and First Round of Playoffs

The speedball season in Atlantic Canada is over which means competitive woodsball is ready to ramp back into full swing. Eastern Canada's premier woodsball league, the Tippmann X7 Phenom Atlantic Tactical Woodsball League Event 3 was played Saturday September 22, 2012.

The league was very excited that for the first time the ATWL has expanded outside Nova Scotia to Mission Paintball in Moncton New Brunswick. Mission Paintball, long known for producing some of the best speedball players in the country, has a newly expanded woodsball field and a crew of hard core woodsball players ready to battle for the ATWL Cup.

Tippinators Lose One of Their Own

James Edward McNeill
June 3, 1964 - Sept 5, 2012

All members of the Tippinators were saddened to hear of the passing of Jim McNeill on Wednesday September 5th, 2012.

Jim was a great man, team member, friend, a monster on the woodsball field, and someone we could always count on.

Jim was the living embodiment of the the Tippinator credo. Shake hands, play hard, have fun, make new friends, remember that it is just a game.

Goodbye Wullu, you will be missed brother. A Tippinator Forever.

Minor Xtreme Paintball League Event 3


Event three of the CXBL Atlantic Division MXL was played August 11, 2012 at Spikes Paintball in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Unlike previous seasons that went down to the wire before a winner was crowned, the 2012 MXL Championship was decided after event two. The game results from event three would have no affect on the final standings, and were being played solely for the love of the game.

MXL Event 2 Mission Paintball Moncton NB

Minor Xtreme Paintball League Event 2

The CXBLs, Atlantic Conference, MXL Moncton, Event 2 the Tippinators for the first time would be playing three full xball matches in one day. To make things a little more challenging for the team, the weather at Event 2 on June 14, 2012 at Mission Paintball in Moncton, New Brunswick was forecast to be hot and humid.

The day started cool but heated up to the mid 90s by mid morning. All players were relieved when at mid day a light rain started and the heat broke, momentarily. The shower was short lived, when it ended the humidity jumped into the 90s. Through the day the temperature plus humidity meant the players were using cases of water as fast as they used cases of paint.
