John if you give me some real detail, i have a large say-so there.
First off, let me give you a little history:
Awaken Atmans was once an A and B team. They comprised of myself, my bro and an another friend of ours on A. On B it consisted of Devin Turner and Adam Macaque(not 100% on the last name, I will look it up and post later) and another really good friend of ours. Anyway, we got together and played the first summer series. B did alright and A got it handed to us. My captain did not want to play the second series, so Adam and Devin got really pissed off. They call us names, and formed their own team, Starbucks Sucks(the name is supposedly for a sponsorship).
That was fine by me, as I never really liked them, and our good friend stayed with us. However, Adam and Devin could not leave it at that, they lied to Art Jr. and Denise and said that they changed their name to Starbucks Sucks, taking our series points with them(our good friend was the captain of that team). We fought them and fought them, the lied and personally threatened us, but in the end, they ended up with the points.
The third series was a blast, and there was none of this accusations of cheating and rigging that we have now.
Now this series was a whole different story. In my opinion, the reffing was really good. There were only two iffy calls and one weird one. The first iffy was a one on one and my captain tagged the guy out like 2 inches from putting the flag on the post, the ref ruled in our favor. The second iffy one was when one of our players was being bunkered, he was hit, yet the other was called for playing on, as he had been hit, the ref ruled for us.
The last weird one was in the finals with Hellfire, it came down to one on one and they grabbed the flag. It was a firefight between the last two, he tagged our guy out. However when Jeff was checking their player, the player was moving his tank in a wiping motion, and under it was a paintball mark, he was called out and the game was tied at 6 and 6 points each.
Now when we played Starbucks on NPPL, we got all their players out, grabbed and hung the flag, only suffering one casualty. The problem is, the refs got the points backwards, giving each teams the others. My captain signed it, unfortunately, and we din't realize until we were checking our standings at noon. We called Adam over, and he lied and lied. He said that he pulled the flag first and a member of our team bunkered him, thereby cheating us out of 15 points, funny part is, I have the whole game on video.
Now since the tournament, both hellfire and Starbucks have been accusing us of cheating, lieing, bribing, and rigging games. They have no validity, and they have no proof. I know you do not know me that well, but everyone on this team are upstanding people. They have Christian values, and they all play fairly. This is how the Summer Series went for us. I am not going to make a big deal of it, as it is over, but it just makes me so angry that people that have cheated us are accusing us of cheating.
Sorry that that is out of chronological order. .
