WOW just WOW to this outstanding pass weekend. I’m still trying to recover from all the excitement. I wanted to thank you all again for making dreams come true and because of each of you, visions of dreams are becoming reality. This year the TTPL 2008 would have to be the best so far in my book. The competition was intense. The teams where among the best in the country, including Canada. The sportsmanship and honorable play with competition was outstanding and the best I’ve seen yet. I hope to see many of you again in 2009 and for many years to follow.
I would like to thank first my sponsors and mostly RAP4 for believing in me, and my team in our vision and dreams to creating a league that would be intense and as “real as it gets”. Also to all the other sponsors for your beautiful prizes and support that made the teams compete so intense all weekend for your prizes. Thank you to Rap4, Animal Paintball, Save Phace, Ambush Alpha, Urban Ops, Tiberius Arms, Harbor Site, STC, Pyro Productions, Yukon, and The Undertakers.
I would like to thank all the teams that made the 2008 season as intense as it was. Perhaps 2009 we need multiple fields to accommodate the 5 other teams we couldn’t fit in this schedule. My heart goes out to you all: 13th Legionnaires, OTP Saints “A”, Team Total Tactical, Reservoir Dogs, Gods Of War, Pyromaniacs, OTP Saints “B”, D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F, Cantru, and Team Lazarus.
I would like to thank my Staff/Refs/Team for their dedications not only all weekend, but all year round. Putting up with me, and everything going into the 2008 season. Without their true dedication the TTPL wouldn’t be possible. Thank you to each and every one of you. You are truly the best friends and family anyone could ask for.
I also wanted thank “Dave Norman” for coming out this pass weekend. Hanging out with the players, and taking photos for the up coming magazines. If it’s anything like last year, WOW just buy magazines every month and I’m sure you’ll find yourself in them.
Also thanks to Ivan from the 13th who also was taking photos for the upcoming 2010 Official TTPL Calendar. Coming out soon and details soon…. Look for it at our teams Tent “Undertakers”, at an event near you.
Congratulations to the 2008 Champions “13th Legionnaires” with an outstanding game style that opened up the door to first place. Hard and intense game play all weekend long. Now that means you need to defend your title in 2009 and you know they will be head hunting for you. Outstanding job again to you all and well earned by all. Congrats again.
