    Tourny prizes...What would YOU play for???

    Just curious to see what people are motivated to play for.

    After voting tell why you chose that one and not the others.

    i would prefer a trophy because it gives bragging rights and you cant engrave a new tank with your teams name:)

    pb gear would have been my next thing
    then cash

      non paintball stuff and a trophy

      most ppl that play in bigger tourneys already have all the paintball things they need and probably more.

        Cash/paint and Trophy. Most people end up selling whatever they win, so prizes are mostely pointless. Money much better. And easier.

          The thing is often times the guns are donated/given a discount by companies... So they might be able to offer 3 Impulses (Got them free/cheap from SP or some retailer), but if they gave cash payouts it would only be like $500 for the winners since it would be outta pocket..

          But cash is definatly the best if it's a decent amount..

              well it dont really matter but cash would be easyier because there is sorta a team rule sorta thing if you want it you have to pay have price for it so we can get some money for the next tourney but yeah you do need a trophy also

                  paintball related stuff/gear would be the best. i think it is safe to assume that everyone in a tourny plays and enjoys playing paintball, whereas with other areas of prizes, you can't be sure of the interest level among players.

                    MONEY! i have most of the gear i need (besides a NYX Trix, 88/45 stubby maxxy, full dye apparel and multiple bore size ultralites )

                    but in all seriousness, what most teams need is $$ to help with practices, paint, and tourney entry fees (although most winning teams get some of that covered by sponsorship)

                    here's a interesting thread over at FON about a local 5-man tourney that's been drawing some attention (you have to weed thru some of the bickering to get to the good discussion) : http://www.forceofnature.com/modules...iewtopic&t=970

                        What would I play for?...nothing.

                        I really wouldn't need any prize or anything, I just like to play and would feel getting to play against other teams is enough for me. Cause think about it, we've all played rec one time or another, and no prizes were involved, it was for fun and the love of just getting to play. Pride is enough for me to play really. I guess I like to play for the game, or as it's called. Once you start worrying about what your going to get for doing what or winning what, then it no longer becomes a game, and you lose your love for it because your playing for something else.

                        What would I be MOTIVATED to play for?...prizes.

                        I'd be motivated more and focus more time and money probably if prizes were involved. But it wouldn't be a necessity. It be fun to say I won something, like a marker or such. And it be a nice investment.
