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.
