We hope everyone had a safe and joyful holiday season. We are really excited about the 2012 GFOA season. New daily developments are occurring with sponsors, rules, locations and everything in general. We plan on bringing you updates every two weeks to any developments that may be happening.

Locations: At this time we are only ready to announce the first event March 3, 2012 will be at On Target Paintball GA located in Macon. The other event locations will be shared in weeks to come. We have been diligently looking at other fields, and will have our final decisions soon.

Event Pricing: The GFOA is proud to announce that with last years sponsorship and this years sponsorship there will not be any changes on the pricing. 2012 pricing will remain the same as last year at $199.00 for all three divisions.

Just a hint of next release topic, is the prize structure for D-5 and D-4 will be greatly increased. How much?, Make sure you watch the GFOA Face book or the GFOA website for these announcements.

Thanks to everyone who came out for the GFOA 7 Man Slam this year at On Target Paintball Ga.! The 7 Man Slam is a great change of pace with its relaxed mood and different format and everyone really looks forward playing some old school paintball that's just for fun.
Even though the day started out in the low 40’s the teams were ready get on the field and play paintball. The teams that came out enjoyed their day not only playing paintball but reminiscing about the events of the 2011 season – and PSP World Cup! Everyone had a blast as we closed out the season and turned our thoughts to the next one.
Many thanks to all the refs and staff that made all the events a success. See you all next year!

APPA totals have been updated finally and are as follows:

2. Augusta Rage 280
3. Boys Town 272.5

D5
1. Desolators 617.25
2. Axis 512.15
3. Divinity 486.54

Some of these races are closer than they look though. When you drop the lowest score from all events so far the scores looks like this:

Open
1. Divinity 577.5
2. Boys Town 272.5
3. Augusta Rage 270
D4
1. Classic Beatdown 590
2. Team Mystery 393.6

2. Axis 477.61
3. Divinity 476.54

Obviously there's no way to know how event #8 will pan out so its anyone's guess how the rankings will actually turn out. But those scores really highlight just how close 2nd and 3rd are.
