The best bet is to talk to your field owner and let him know about your desire to play. If he or she is willing to front some money for entry fees and such you are on you way.

Make sure your team is serious about playing before you set your sights on it. I tried a team and after one tourney when things didn't go too well most of my team pooped out on the idea.

Also, check into local sponsors, like department stors and the like, tell them what you are wanting to do and that if they sponsor you, you will make sure their name is on a team banner or something.

It will take alot of work and dedication on your part as well as your teammates. You must also make sure that your parrents are ok with this, Unless you have the money to cover transportation, food, and other cost they will have to front some of it.

Good luck,
Tack

just have a good time whether you win or lose, thats the only thing to worry about. my team played against some of the best teams in the state in our first competition paintball, and we went 11-1. We didnt care, we were havin a great time. but it was then we realized we needed more experience & practice, and we are now sticking to smaller tournies & stuff.
