It was colder than hell today.  It was snowing during most of the tournament, and we were all freezing most of the day.  Brandon, Jimmy and I each bought some gloves because if we got hit in the fingers, we would have been done for.  Aaron was out at first because he couldn't get his impulse to chrono right, but later on in the day he got things going right.  We did pretty well, and learned lots of techniques that we can work on in the future, but I'd like to mention one win in particular.  We were playing against OUTBURST.  They are a team sponsored by EVIL, PMI, and Pure Energy.  They are extremely good, and shot guns like Dark Angels, Evil Impulses, GZs, and Timmys.  We were joking about even giving up before even going up against this team because it was our first tournament and we had yet to win a game as of this time.  Most of the teams were watching us as we were to get completely massacred by this good team.  We started, just had fun, and when the dust cleared... WE HAD ALL THREE PEOPLE WATCHING THEIR THREE GUYS IN THE DEAD-BOX!!!!!!  Oh yea... We beat team OUTBURST.  Maybe a fluke, maybe skill, but we won.  Not only did we win, we MAXXED them.  This is when our team takes the most amount of points possible, and the other team gets no points.  You can see that better in the photo of the score sheet below.  Take a look at our score, and their BIG FAT ZERO!... Who said there is no such thing as beginner's luck.  Check it out.  We had bragging rights forever on this one. 

Here they are ladies and gentlemen!!!!!
