[Torbo]

i probably spend 1700 on entry to tournaments and paint.

i think i play about 9 toruneys a year.
no senarios.

[Sac]

1 scenario coming up
and i try and play open play once a month usually shoot around a case a day

i estimate around 1600, wow that sucks.... i didnt include any equipment, thats all paint/air/entry. :eek:

[BeaverEater]

i usually play about 20 times a year at about 70 each time: 1400
played 1 tourny about 200

Not including new gear i spent about 1600 this past year

[SlipknotX556]

Hmm well lets see...

60 a case, I played 4 times this year. Thats 240 in paint.

240 a year, I bought no new gear.

300 bucks a month on average I guess so.... 300 x 13 months= 3600$ ...OMG I'm ruined!

[RogueFactoryKid]

I guess my teachers were wrong in teaching me there were 12 months in a year? :tard:

[evo.end3R]

And as for the pic, thats how I feel after thinking about that figure :(

[Rather]

I pay next to nothing now to play AT THE GREATEST FIELD IN TEH WORLD>>> TEH PAINTBALL FACTORY!!!!!1 :tard: </shameless plug>


AND i pick up some goodies that are left behind every now and then.. like storm pods... oakie pods (cept i had to give that one away as a b day present to someone.... >_<), 10 round tubes, a flip open vl squeegie, and fatboys. Would never claim something worth more than $10 that is left though.. I'm a poor (well not really wih being paid to ref at a paintball place) highschooler not a theif. :)

:cheers: agreed

[-=Squid=-]

I play 3-4 times of the month
1 tournement per month
Never play scenarios.

No telling how much I pay; depends on how generous our sponsors are that month... sometimes nothing, sometimes a couple hundred.

Seeing the old and new of a sport we love: do I have to say it

[Lohman446]

After factoring in the value of all my winnings this year (and realize that this number includes the shocker I bought)

$4359.60 spent this year on paintball more than I have made - to date (yeh, I balanced the books tonight).

I play every weekend if not more, and go to tournaments at least once a month.

how do you afford it, how old are you and where do you work?

I am trying to get a good estimate and how much i expect to spend as soon as i turn 17 and get serious.

[Bad_Dog]

way too much...

heres the cycle of life:

work to make money. take paycheck and spend on paintball. work to make money. take paycheck and spend on paintball. work to make money. take paycheck and spend on paintball. work to make money. take paycheck and spend on paintball. work to make money. take paycheck and spend on paintball. work to make money. take paycheck and spend on paintball. work to make money. take paycheck and spend on paintball. work to make money. take paycheck and spend on paintball.

catch my drift?

[Chojin Man]

hmm i don't see where you are going with that Big_Dog. :p

I spend about $1000-$1500 a year.

You have to understand that that number includes things like hotel rooms, gas, dinners, and anything else I spend while attempting to make money while playing paintball and that the busines that I have that spends it exists solely for the purpose of attempting to make money playing paintball (some of you will catch the idea of this business).

I work, I make decent money, and I have few bills - thats how I afford it. I put a certain amount of money every week into the account (which is specifically for paintball) and thats what I use. Being careful one coudl easily wittle that number down a considerable amount I'm sure.
