PAINTBALL SPORTS NY (f.k.a. SURVIVAL NEW YORK)
Presents

WOODSBALL WORLD CUP – September 10, 11 & 12, 2010

WINTER CUP – March 20 & 21, 2010

Calling all scenario woodsball power teams, top level tournament teams of today, and the best tournament players of the Aughts, 90’s and 80’s.

Remember the “Golden Age” of paintball, the 80’s and early 90’s, when tournament ball was played in the woods, when both stealth and power were necessary to a team’s success? When being smart was just as important as being fast? When legendary teams like Navarone, Ironmen, Master Blasters, Terminators, the Lords of Discipline, the All Americans, Ridgerunners dominated the field? When industry leaders and legendary players like Marty Bush and Shane Pastana, “Spud” and “Cope”, Bob Long, Bill and Adam Gardner were playing?

They all played at the World Cup.

Twenty years ago the top players from all across the United States and Canada stepped onto the playing fields in New York, fields with names like Ponderosa, Top of the Ridge and Challenger, shooting guns called Carter Termites, Lapco Grey Ghosts, Line SI Bushmasters, loading ten round tubes of paint into their stick feeds and cracking 12-grams with their quick-changers

It is time to do it again.

Relive the “Glory Days” of 10 man team competition and play alongside and against the legends of paintball’s greatest competition era at our roll-out event, the Winter Cup in March, and then get ready for the big show – the Woodsball World Cup in September.

Same fields, same rules, same judges, same equipment, mechanical pumps and semis only. The Master Blasters, developers and masters of radio zone judging, will be coming back to officiate.

Let’s see if the woodsball power teams of today can stand against those of yesteryear. Let’s see if the top arena ball teams of today can be successful in this classic venue. Let’s relive the old days and experience new ones with those who made tournament paintball great.

Team AO anyone? I'm in if we can get enough players. Perhaps stealing some from other forums as well. I posted the link to MCB - "The Forums" we could make a neat team and have a lot of fun

I am thinking trying the March event first (is cheaper and we are likely to get slaughtered by some of the more coherent teams). At this point I am going to see how many people we can get committed. I will make the drive from Michigan for this.

I have never understood why paintball events don't schedule around college schedules. You would think that they eliminate a lot of their base by not doing so.

MANN,

paintball tournaments don;t schedule around ANY other schedule - they go when they want to or need to; there's only so many weekends in the year

However - tell us what dates we SHOULD schedule within and we'll see what we can do and

finally

NPL is LOCAL, LOCAL, LOCAL. Want to host an event - get in touch!

MANN,

If I were in charge of an event hosted sometime in march I would schedule it for March 8-12. This week there are at least 1.3 million students on spring break. (per http://www.tripsmarter.com/panamacity/springbreak/sbcalendar.htm ) Most likely the beginning or ending weekends to make it accessible to most working people. The end of March/April is when all professors (at least all the ones that I have had) are trying to give you the core of the class.

I know that myself and many others are looking for paintball for one of the weekends, and looking to drive 8+ hours for some snow skiing the other weekend (snowshoe Mt).

If I were going to have in toward the fall I would try to hit either fall break (~ 3rd weekend in Oct) or the 3rd week in august as most schools start the following week. I am sure google gives a similar break down as above.
