The sport of paintball certainly has no shortage of creative team names. Its origin actually came from Vince Vaughn’s line in a Couple's Retreat.
But few have gotten the reaction of fellow players and field owners like Team Asstastic does... //Team Asstastic\\
Started by Jeff Tyrone and Frank Jurcik in 2010; these two guys played together on a previous speedball team, the HOGS, backed by Jurcik’s father’s paintball store back in 1995. Tyrone came up with the name for a small group of players who started attending scenarios and charity eve
nts as a team. Jokingly, the name seemed to fit the fun-loving demeanor of a team who never tries to take themselves too seriously. With help from Joe Lemieux and Facebook's web of connections it wasn’t long before the name, along with their speedball style approach to scenario games, had garnered attention and started to take off. In 2012, after merging with another local team, Legion, the team consisted of many players, rostering 13 players based out Connecticut and 2 former CT players who have started the Asstastic Southern Division in Louisiana. Asstastic have earned several MVP and MVT awards; including an Honorable Mention at Skirmish I.O.N. in 2011, the team has broken back into Tournament play throughout New England in 2012 while returning to I.O.N. 2012.
