    Mag Sponsorship

    Why doesen't AGD sponsor any pro teams? I know the whole story "let the product speak for itself" blah blah blah. I mean I know mags rock, everyone else here knows mags rock, but alot of people dont know that. Instead of keeping the mag as an "underground marker", hype it up some, bring it out into the open. Besides it would be cool to see an X mag team out there rocking the pro team circuit.

          Pro teams cost ALOT of money.... AGD cannot afford one.

            well it would be an investment. But it may also lead to increased sales. It would be nice to walk into a proshop that actually carried mags.

              That would be an investment AGD can't afford right now

                Yes, that would be a huge cost. They have plenty of amatuer division teams right now though

                  It would be a big risk. Of course its not my risk to take but id love to see AGD take a gamble, who knows it could pay off huge.

                    Its not that, its just that they cant afford it, period. Like it costs $200, and they have 225, but they have to pay the electric bills... you know what I mean? Its just unreachable whether they want it or not

                      Right, also teams like Pride, Lions and UK Storm have so much potential to make it into the pro ranks. Let them kick butt in the amateur divisions first!

                        the guys from dynasty, i think, are full time WDP techs. on top of the fact they are awesome players, they all have personal trainers. there job is to be a paintball player. no way is AGD able to afford that.

                          I think its pretty accurate to say that paintball fans dont just pay attention to the pro teams.... Amateaur paintball is almost just as popular as the pro division if not more, IMO.

                            Just for some real reference; It can cost upwards of $250,000 a year to sponsor a Pro Team, and thats just a 5 man team (according to a conversation had during the megameet with TK and that dude from Bad Company)

                            Things have to be considered like the following:
                            -Travel
                            -Lodging
                            -Gear/Uniforms
                            -Paint
                            -Entry
                            -more paint... heheh...
