Carolina Underground Teams Disappointed With Showing At Glory Road, Look To Bounce Back

Overcoming a day full of adversity, both Carolina Underground teams rallied late, winning 3 of their final 6 points at Glory Road's 3-man tournament series opener. Frustration was the theme of the day for both teams, as 25 degree weather claimed 5 of 8 markers the teams had at their disposal, resulting in the teams sharing 3 markers for most of the day.

Once Carolina Underground resolved their gun problems - ostensibly by changing paint and Justin Lamb lending Mason his Ego - they won 2 of their final 4 points, after having two players go down in each of their first three points without so much as a single drop of paint on them due to marker malfunctions.

Carolina Underground Red had a much tougher day; however, they came together late in their final two points, winning their second-to-last point. One of their key players, Slade Saunders, was injured in a car accident last night, and while he braved the elements, his back injury limited his and his team's effectiveness greatly.

Ultimately, both teams will compete in CFOA's 5-man series in 2013, in division 5, as a combined unit. The final team roster will be announced shortly.

Tom Mobley, Carolina Underground's founder, organized the first team practice for the team through PBNation, on Sunday, January 6. The practice was attended by Cujo, Jeff Payne, Drake Craven, Mason and of course, Tom's better half, his wife Talina who manned the camera.

Gun problems aside, we were able to play our first points together as a group and held our own at Glory Road Paintball.

Carolina Underground Red Team To Play In Glory Road Paintball's 3-ManSeries Opener

The Carolina Underground Red Paintball Team will play in the inaugural Glory Road Paintball 3-man Series Tournament at Glory Road Paintball on Saturday, January 25th, in Monroe, NC.

Carolina Underground's 3-man team will be comprised of four players, Justin Lamb, Brenden Myers, Holden Hammer German and Slade Saunders, who may also play the CFOA series this year.

The GRP 3-man series was launched and announced this year by the Monroe, NC field in early January, which is also rumored to be hosting a CFOA 3-man event later in the year.

The Glory Road Paintball 3-man Series is an independent series that will be played under an Open Division format, with its own ranking system not tied to APPA rankings as of right now.

PBManuals - Must-Have App For Any Paintball Player

There is nothing worse than being at the field and having to deal with equipment malfunctions, especially when you don't have the necessary manuals with you to fix the problem. This very issue is what prompted us to write about Killtech Software's PBManuals app for iPhone and Android, which is quite simply an awesome solution to a major headache.

The app, which features an extensive list of full-color, exact replicas of manuals for an extensive list of paintball guns, hoppers, boards and other paintball equipment, allows you to view the manuals on your iPhone, Android phone or iPad, whenever you need to. Below is a screenshot of the app.

Whether you lost your manual, left it at home, your ex won't let you have it or you never had one because you bought the gun used, this is a must-have for any paintball player. The app has several cool features, including a wish-list for additional manuals to be added, and the ability to download and save the manuals on your mobile device.

Don't say we didn't tell you about it.
