OK, the SPL 2012 was over… and I’m badly sun burned… This season is the best so far… the league has improved since it first started in 2010… and it has improved a lot… not only the smooth running of the event, but the condition of the field also has improved. Overall it was improving each season on each leg… credit goes to KK Paintball Centre.

I’m not going to talk too much about the game yet… I just want to post something to fill my blog… I’m kinda busy at the moment… In fact, I wanted to take leave immediately after SPL, but I can’t coz there are loads of stuffs to be done in the office… instead I took leave on Thursday and Friday before the Saturday and Sunday SPL games… where everyone were still out of the office after the long Chinese New Year break which span till Tuesday on that week.

Anyways, becoz of the sunburn, my skins were cracking and dry… but it is improving. On Tuesday, while driving to the office in the morning, I felt my forehead was itchy so I scrub it with my fingers and to my horror my forehead is so rough and white stuffs were falling down, it’s like dandruff… in fact my hair felt dry and rough… when I check from the rear view mirror, dam… it looks ugly… so I keep on scrubbing till all the white stuffs no longer visible on my forehead. My mistake was, I did not use sun block during SPL… It’s healing now, but I think I still need something to make sure my skin don’t peel off again soon… and my hair need a good seaweed shampoo… probably shampoo made from the sea cucumber extracts…

Once again Sabah Paintball League Cup (SPL) will hit another season for the 3rd time. The Sabah Paintball League Cup 2012 3rd season will kick-off this Saturday and it will be held for two days (28 & 29 January 2012) at Likas Sports Complex.

KK Paintball Centre (KKPC) has successfully held the league without fail every year since 2010. Each season will have 3 legs and from these 3 legs the overall champion will be decided. Last year Team Hoodlums brought home the SPL 2011 Cup.

Other than SPL, KKPC also has two other events to be held this year. The Nexus War Game 2012 (NWG 2012) and the Sabah Tactical Cup 2012 (STC 2012). The NWG has been held since 2010 while the STC is the new even and to be held for the first time this year.

We hope the weather will be favourable this Saturday and Sunday so that the 18 teams competing in the SPL2012 will have a great game. There will be two teams from Brunei while Sarawak, Melaka and Labuan will have one team each. For the first time, there will be an all ladies team… the Barbarinas. And the youngest player for this season is a 13 years old lad.

The youngest player for this season.

To promote the Sabah Tactical Cup 2012, a demo game by Team Revolucion will be held during SPL 2012.

And to those who hate the sun or do not have time during the day to play paintball, KKPC also conduct Night Paintball.

SPL 2012 field was setup on 24th January… here are some photos during the setup… it’s gonna be very exciting… don’t forget to drop by at Stadium Likas this Saturday and Sunday to watch this exciting and adrenaline pumping game…

In less than a week, the Sabah Paintball League Cup 2011 2nd Leg will kick-off… that’s on 25-26 June 2011. The first leg was held on 12-13 March 2011. Just like the first leg, it will be held at the same venue at KK Paintball Centre Field in Likas Sports Complex.

There will be more than 20 teams participating in the tournament namely… HOODLUMS, TRIBE-X, SPLATZ1, MIGHTY OWL, BOOMSLANG, TRIBE-X II, CARCASS, TXT, ROKKEAN, BRIZZIO, BAKAKUK SYNDIKETZ, PAINMISH, DRACONE, NOUNTUN, TIMBUL TENGGELAM HUNTERS, UNCLE HORNET, PEMUDA PBS TAMPARULI, SM TEKNIK LIKAS, NBE, THE HEADHUNTERS, PANTERA and CHUPACABRA.

Although it is raining most of the time lately, we are hoping for a good weather during the tournament. And hopefully, the teams will be more better equipped with new markers, goggle/mask and jersey… and possibly with barska scope if that is allowed by the organizer…

This is a late reporting… I should have posted this last week but I was to tired and too busy… and still busy and still exhausted…

Anyways, this is about the Sabah Paintball League 2011 which was held on 12 and 13 March. Once again, I was assigned by the organizer to take photos from inside the field. Like last year, I was assisted by Bonaventure who assisted me on the first day and Louis on the second day… meaning I was covering it for two days… standing under the sun for two days… well there was not much sun… it was cloudy most of the time and it was raining on the first day towards the end of the day… around 3pm.

After standing under the sun and rain for two days, I continued with journey to Sandakan for 3 days… Monday to Wednesday… went there by road which put us 8 hours on the road and I came back by air which only took about 55 minutes. I was bloody tired with the two events… I’m really exhausted… I really need a massage therapy program… I’m thinking to get body massage this weekend… probably with acupuncture too…

OK, back to SPL… this time the field is much better then last year… and it is bigger too. The field was dry on the first day but it was wet when the rain came down at the end of the first day event… causing two matches carried to the following day. There are 24 teams divided into 3 groups with 8 teams each. This is the first leg of three legs league. The winners of this first leg are… 1st is Hoodlums, 2nd is Tribe-X and 3rd is Splatz 1… and I have not processed all the photos yet… here are some of it…

Winner… Hoodlums

2nd… Tribe-X

3rd… Splatz 1

4th… Mighty Owl

On Saturday & Sunday was the Sabah Paintball League Cup 2nd Leg. I’m supposed to be assisted by two photographers for the whole event but unfortunately one can’t make it. I was assisted by Louis on the first day inside the field and on the second day, I was alone covering the whole event… but I still manage to do it alone…

The weather was cloudy and sunny… and it rained the day before… the intermittence appearance of the sun is enough to make us sweating and exhausted… it was very hard to breath… the air felt thin and hot like steam… it even harder to breath since we have to wear the paintball goggle mask all the time inside the field… portable oxygen concentrators would be a great help on that time

On Saturday, the game went on smoothly in the morning till evening… but it rain so hard before 3pm… fourteen matches have to be carried to the next day. On Sunday, the weather is much cooler… it was cloudy all the time… but the rain came back around 4pm… it rain even harder than the day before… the final match which supposed to be played in three matches… best of 3… only manage to be played once… both teams agreed with the single match as the deciding match… Team Pit-Bull won the event by beating Labuan Riverside. Some photos…
