Baltimore Trauma

The Baltimore Trauma was a pro paintball team. They competed from 2000 till 2007 when they disbanded due to team member issues, including a poor 2007 season and sponsorship issues. Core members include Rob Staudinger, Tyler Humphrey, Justin “Duder” Summers, Dave Fason, Dave “Opie” Thomas.

Team History

The team that would eventually be known as the Baltimore Trauma originated as two five-man teams; Flipmode, originally from Raleigh, North Carolina and Mayhem, based in Greensboro, North Carolina. Both teams played in the Carolina Field Operators Association, or CFOA. In 2000 Tyler Humphrey and Rob Staudinger decided to merge the teams to compete in the NPPL 10-man events.

In 2001 the team picked up Rob Staudinger and Opie Thomas from the recently dismantled team Image. After their 2002 World Cup Victory, the team was invited to join the pro ranks of the NXL.^[1]
