No one sponsors me, which is one reason most of my stuff is ghetto-rigged.

I'd Like to thank all of our sponsers:

-Bad Boyz Toyz: store ownz badlandz in crete, IL

-Ricochet: makers of the very nice (and very NOT brass eagle )loaders; th ricochet ak and 2k (which features a built in lcd so you dont have to go radioshack hopping for a discontinued timer )

-Demon Extreme: Paintball store in Chilicothe, IL soon to be opening a location righ here on ISU CAMPUS WOOT!!

-Wretched Seven: holds concerts at paintball events like last years IAO

-Realms of Ruin: our sponser field, located in CusterPark, IL (basically Kankakee), The location of the 02 Illinois State Open tournament

-The NCPA (for organizing all of our tournies)

-ILL STATE UNIVERSITY (for giving us a place to work out and a 3-1 girl to guy ratio)

Im not entirely sure if that is all at this point as our first team meeting of the semester isnt until after this weekend, so things might have changed during break!
Note: I also like to thank all the people who arent official sponsers but have helped us along the way. And all those who sponsered the college X-ball xperiance down at the cup.

Edit: If any marker manufacturers read this and want to sponser the team with some electros.. well to put it lightly: that would be SWEEEET

boy o boy do i wish i had a sponsor, any sponsor at all. Paintball just isnt that big around here and where it is big all the sponsors are taken.
Does anyone know if having a bigger team like say a 5 man or 10 man helps in getting a sponsor. Cuz im on a 3 man only cuz i can only find 2 other serious players in my area. This year we are goin play at every GPL game however ( our first tourny series ever even though we have played together for 2 years) Hopefully we can get some sponsors half way though if we do good. But if not owell the GPL isnt that far away and the entries are rather cheap. Id personally rather improve before i worry about sponsorship. But then again free paint can really help anyone improve. Well if anyone feels like posting any good sponsorship tips along with who they are sponsored by that would be cool

[warpfeedmod]

my buds and i are working on getting some of the, how do I put this, "Gentlemen's Clubs" to sponsor us heh

If that doesn't work we'll start talking to the local Hooters'


After they sponsor we're going to ask that each send one girl to our tourneys to cheer us on

If not the local gun shop will probably sponsor us.

[tranman]

I have 2 paintball stores as sponsors, Paintball Haven and Catscan Paintball.

Hey ringmasta187, your sig size is about 80KB in total, theres a rule that it has to be 15KB and under..

[demonguy8]

hooters.. or strip clubs.... that is the BEST IDEA I have ever heard for potential sponsorships... I mean paintball guys are part hooter's prime target audience too (ie adolescent males-young adult males)... WHY THE HECK DIDNT I THINK OF THIS

Note: upon reading this it would sound sarcastic, well its not. that is all

[Automaggin2]

my mom and the bank teller

I have 2 personal sponsors, a local store gives me uber discounts and my friend owns a store and hooks me up with stuff.

[Collegeboy]

My wallet, and he is a very cheap sponsor. I have to have fierce words with him sometimes to let him know how much he needs me.

[BobTheCow]

lol, my team is thinkin about writin to places for sponsorships, namely: trojan, durex, playboy, penthouse, pfizer (the company that makes viagra), and tampax

more "seriously": sports authority, modells, maybe galyans.

too bad we don't really have enough experience under our belt to make a strong case for ourselves...
