pushed the Empire almost all the way back to their base.
But trouble came for the Rebels when an Empire tank
strolled through and took out most of their team, giving
the Empire chance to take back parts of the Speedball
field. By the end of the game, Empire had 540 points.
100 of those points were from attaining pieces of a prop
called a Holocron. The Rebels were behind with only
515 points. But there was still time to earn points in the
Final Battle.
For those that may not be familiar with Viper events, they
are known for their epic final battles. Hundreds of pla yers
on a small field dumping paint in hopes to get a few extra
points. Not to mention the slapsticks! To give you kind of
a visual, it is like raining paintballs everywhere. Well this
one was epic. The referees are phenomenal and deserve
props for being a paintball punching bag. At the end of
a crazy and what seemed endless final battle, The Rebels
had 100 points, and Empire acquired 0. It was a crazy fun
battle though, and everyone left with plenty of battle
wounds to tell the tale.
After final battle, it was time. Time to shave the legend
Kerry Viper. The total player count ended up being
1,114, making this the largest scenario paintball event
in Texas. It was one for the books! Now it was time for
awards, giveaways, and final scores. There were lots of
prizes to give away and awards to players and teams
that gave it their all. The final scores were Empire 1645
and Rebels with 1780. This was one game that no one
will forget. The gameplay was fantastic, the players were
fantastic, and the referees were awesome as always. The
head shaving was probably one of the highlights of the
awards ceremony. They auctioned off the first line of hair
shaved for $300. So the weekend ended with lots of fun
memories, and a bald Viper. But ultimately it was worth it.
I cannot wait for the next Viper event; stay tuned for more
