I play on a scenario team. They walk on every weekend as well as practice. I also take part in their speedball chapter. Small division 6 turneys stuff like that.

Playing on a competitive team is playing for fun to me.
I mucked around playing big games, private fields and walk ons but it gets old. It's kinda like poker. Playing a free hand is fun but without money on the table there is nothing to play for and no rush when you win.
Big games may as well be a shooting gallery. You go out, shoot your paint, tag a bunch of kids, get hit by one of the hundreds of dudes sitting on the bushes waiting for easy shots, go home.
Competition brings out more in the players. I like being put in a position that If I don't bring my A game I'm going to get beat down. It makes you strive to be better than I other guy. I want to shoot straighter, to run faster, to move smarter, because if I don't put everything I have on the table, I go home with nothing but a few welts and a bruised ego. But when you take home that hard earned trophy you feel like a king. You have proven that your crew is better than all those guys who stood in your way. And is that not what is best in life?

I'm a rec-baller through and through. I'll pay like maybe 1 or 2 local tournaments in a summer but thats it.

That is maybe the best comment I have ever seen. I am very competitive when I do any sports, and I HATE losing. No matter how or when.

I play on a team and it is a lot of fun.

Team=fun.
Plays recball= not so fun because they are all inferior in skill compared to me.

This. This is exactly why I'm starting a team with my buddy. I wanna play hard, I wanna play better than the ther team, I wanna earn respect. But at the same time I want a new car. Haha so the money scares me away but I know that I will enjoy every second of it.

Your field doesn't offer an advanced walk-on day?

Well they do, but the experienced players only come so often, so its like once a month.

EDIT: Actually, in about a month, Disruptive will be opening another field a mile away from their main one, and I'm hoping it'll have more airball fields. As much as I hate playing airball in the deserts of Arizona, it's not as much as me hating the lack of airball in my town.

Play with a sword.

Mo bettah.

[spqr-king]

Both? They are not mutually exclusive? Its fun to get out and be competitive but some days you gotta just go bs around with friends and have a good time! If you dont you cant get the full feel of the sport as a whole.

I'm on a team, we play every saturday and sunday, But as far as tournaments, there are none worth playing up here. There are a few tournaments, but they aren't very fun, no bps cap, absolutely crappy reffing and there are only about 4 teams that ever show up.
