Hi guys,
I am tossing around the idea of putting together a 1vs1 monthly/bimonthly tournement ladder in my area. The sole purpose is to provide novice and non-team member players with a chance to compete, get recognized, and win a new gun or some other nice prize.
Let's face it, not everyone has the money for an emag, but some rec people take the game as serious as pro people and sure would like a chance to show their worth. It seems to basically boil down to who has the most money...so why not give the small timers a chance at the big boy toys.
Basically the idea is to use standard tourny protocol...players submit a registration fee..ladder is started..random names are generated..and eliminations begin Last one standing wins the big prize, runners up get nice promotional items or smaller prizes. The style of play would most likely be hyperball, with time capped games, best 2 out of 3 or something to that effect.
My questions are...
1: How likely is sponsorships or donations from companies for promotional items or prize packs if it is not a national leage oriented event?
2: How would one go about doing something under a nationally recognized league for such a small event?
3: Is this idea even feasible? Would YOU pay $25? $35? $50 bucks at your chance to compete for a brand new eMag/Angel/Autococker/etc? Most of us spend at least $50 a day to play anyways...
4: What would you do to permit this to happen without some greedy field owner wanting some kind of ridiculous profit?
Kick around some ideas with me guys. I really want to get something started on my end and propose this to the local field owner.

. Also notice how i refer to it as my field, thats because i literally own it, i eliminate everyone in a manner of seconds...no im kidding, 5 bucks admission, 3 bucks for 2 slices of dominos and a bottle of brisk or mountain dew etc.... They dont fill HPA, but they are getting scuba tank donations...so they should be soon. You also have to decide if you want to come and play with little kids, compared to you we r little, im 16 in april, jonno is 15, and slipknot is i forgot like 12 or 13(brothers ages, can never remember em) But its great cuz its BYOP and plz excuse my brothers horrible typing errors, hes a little slow. The end game is always nuts tho, it was a HUGE game, last time i was there they had something like 150 people, the month before that(january) they had a record 178 ppl show up to play, u tell me thats not insane(for paintball standards.) Maybe one day we could meet up at that Florida national place(depending on where it is of course) and maybe Mikes(never been there.) This is of course assuming i get some money, a new place opened in Stewart also called Paintball Kingdom, i have yet to check it out tho...
