RC Roster for PAVS Round 1

Ed
Troy
RC Red Star will be fielding a team in round 1 of the upcoming Paintball Association of Victoria Series (PAVS) .  Once again, round 1 will be held at Snipers Den in Mirrabin.  Last year they provided a fully netted, beautiful stretch of green grass, providing great play and opportunity to spectate.  Those of us used to playing in South Australia can't get enough of sliding around on that green turf. Ed and I have been hoping to be able to field a 5 man team for a while now.  Thankfully fellow pump enthusiasts Mark, Troy and Brett have joined the roster to field what will surely be the most formidable pump team in Australia.  Seriously, how many could there be?

Brett... that's some good reffing

Last year, I attended round 1 when playing with team Fusion out of South Australia.  It's not pump paintball, but this video highlights the facilities as well as some of the local talent.

SAPPA 3 Man: November 6, 2011

Will, Rob, Ed

November 6, 2011 RC entered a team in the SAPPA 3 Man tournament at Skirmish SA.  Low team attendance had put a damper on the previous paintball season. We were looking forward to this event as the first step towards getting paintball competitions going again in South Australia.  A nice variety of players came out, ranging from experienced bushballers to first time players to experienced tournament players.  This was the first time RC Australia had competed against semi's in a tournament setting. No podium for RC this time, but we put up some good fight.

Previous SA Tournaments

To date, RC Aus has only played in local SAPPA events here in South Australia. We are hoping to field a pump team in one of the upcoming PAVS tournaments in Victoria. The pictures below are from SAPPA 3 man Pump tournaments over the last season or two.

These are the first 3 jerseys for the Australian RC Red Star team. We changed from black to white tee's because of the extreme heat here in South Australia. Even in Virginia, during a long day of sun, we questioned the black tee's... but then we remembered how hard the look. Everything's in a bit of a USSR font. On the right sleeve is the Chinese character for 'rooster'. I miss the 'agg rooster' from the other jerseys, but I wasn't about to make that into a stencil again. Also don't miss the 'bomb' symbol on the bottom left. I think they came out pretty well considering I was using stencils and spraypaint. Unfortunately these are 2xl and aren't quite the size I'd like... but it's a start. Unfortunately, the paint stains looked quite undignified.

Rockin' Cocks Australia


RC Red Star Aus is a pump paintball team based in Adelaide, South Australia.  We are a brother team of the Rockin'Cocks and RC Revolution out of the United States, as well as RC Sweden.  Though we have some dedicated members here in South Australia, we are still working towards steady participation in events both local and interstate.  Stay tuned for updates as we try to build a name for ourselves.  Check out the links to learn more about the other RC teams as well as their generous sponsors.
