      so squid, just out of curiosity, what division did you play in before you quit? team name? events played? years in the game?
      enlighten us as to your qualifications. it may make a difference in whether or not you're opinions are taken more seriously.

          I think they are both good...but it better be close to me...WISCONSIN!!!!! or just have smaller regional/local ones...


          WISCONSIN RULES!!!!

          But, I think as long as your gun isnt electro in the semi/stock events, and your gun isnt semi/electro in the stock event...i think you should be able to have your own...i think there should be other guidlines...but the regional events should be able to decide on their own.

              Every possible tournament within 7 hours there was. Arkansas hinders our ability to go to national events, but when we could we did. We play one tournament a month, and practice 2-3 times a month. 5 Years in the tournament scene, 1 in recball. I've been playing for about as long as my age permits.

              Sponsors include: Ark-Plas, Micro Plastics, Shartley Customs, NOT NOTNTONONTONONTO THESE OTHER PLACES WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH BIG H, and have deals pending still.

              Practice on a team airball field. Have captained Plastic Factory for 2 years, up until now, as it is near certain I am getting out of paintball.

              You now know a little about my team. Not sure why you wanted to know, but you do now.

                Maybe he wanted to know how credable you were?

                But you say...as long as my age permited or whatever....that didn't answer his question too much...he was asking a length (ex. 1 year), or you could include a age and we could assume you started at the age of about 10-12 years old

                  I said tourney ball for 5, rec for 1 (when I started paintballing), then said "as long as my age permitted." Yes, I answered the question.

                  I am plenty credible. I know paintball... For the past 5 years it has been my life.

                          Why would it be a waste of time? I enjoyed playing, and got a lot out of it. Far from wasted.

                          I want to quit because my music is more important to me, and unlike paintball I could actually take it somewhere.

                              Again, far from it. My equipment, I am getting much of the money back, and sponsors paid for the tournaments.

                              I repeat: I enjoyed and got a lot out of this journey, so how is it wasted? That would be like saying you wasted money by going to the movies.

                                As long as you learn something in the process nothing is a waste of time.

                                (heaving and grunting as coversation is pulled back on topic)

                                I think that as far as prizes go some free feild passes would be awesome. Not a year (unless you can afford it) but maybe 10 free entry fees. They will then have an excuse to come, and buy paint, and play. So it wouldn't be bad for business as well as good for promoting the sport. Heck, give every participant a card for 2 free entries and that might be even better.

                                I would make everyone use the same kind of gun, it realy isn't that much of a difference when using mech markers, especially if this is a beginner tournament. But if everyone shoots the same thing then no one will have a right to complain that they are out gunned, or under chopped, or anything fun like that. It is also a moral booster because it gives the perception of equality, which makes people feel like they have a chance, even if they don't.
