You want to win the Most Valuable Team award at a 24 hour scenario paintball game. But how do you get noticed? Well as the General in most games, a team trying to earn the coveted award brings out the best. Plans for the scenario games are made months in advance. Teams prepare themselves to outdo others in their vision for the honor. Preparation in made with team meetings, researching the story line, emails to the general and every notion is thought out. Teams feel that this award in scenario paintball is the highest achievement to earn.
Here are some pointers that I feel can help your team improve your odds. If you feel that backstabbing, bribery, begging and betraying me with your team will garner this 8×11 certificate then you’re wrong. This 8×11 certificate will not be earned in this fashion, or in any other general’s book that I know of. This 8×11 certificate is a awesome accomplishment and is usually only given out on your side. So you’re going to need to stick out like that guy who wears bright orange, yeah you know the one I’m talking about. And if you think some favorable emails will work, you will be sorely disappointed. Here are some ways to stick out above your comrades…in a handy dandy checklist. 
The achievement “most valuable team” is a great achievement; it is only given out for your side. The best thing to remember is you better stick out like a sore thumb compared to your comrades since everyone is going for it too. If you put it in a poor performance but think it’s all yours because of some emails you sent, you are in for quite a shock when your team is not called. So I have come up with a checklist of things you should be ready to do, and you need to do them well. What you do is entirely up to you, but you have to get it right.
E-mail the general as soon as you know which side you are on, introduce yourself on game day, be the first team at the base, state your name each time you communicate, be willing to get off your game plan, and use your last opportunity to let them know what you did.
As the general the hardest thing to do in the game is the awards. I always try very hard to mention all the teams but I know I always miss some every time. The ones that I don’t miss are those who stood out with their actions, or let me know who they are, and the ones who let me know they were there. I can’t see everything you do or have done, unless I was with you on a general led mission. I will remember that team who spent 2 hours on base security or ran a mission at 2 in the morning that no one else was there or would run. So even if you failed on any level, or wiped out every opposing team you met, I won’t know if you don’t tell me.
It’s because of this I have given the MVT award to brand new teams, small teams, and two man teams and yes even the big established mega scenario teams. I hardly ever see the teams that brow beat me about the award do enough to earn it because in reality they have raised the bar to high on themselves. If they’ve gone on and on about how great they are then I’d expect to see a super human display of woods ball skills, it almost never happens. Just prepare, take the necessary steps to let your general know who you are and what you’ve done and your team will be in the running for this coveted award.
