New fixed price tournament inc paint :)

I have had on the back burner a format I want to resurrect to paintballers everywhere.
It is aimed if I am honest to the newer end from king of the hill to division 2 but some div 1 teams would have a great time.
I have always thought that teams develop and learn by playing better teams and the "King of the hill" type divisions are only there to bring in extra income and they are because of the teams they are playing slow to learn.

I also remember the games we played against some of the top teams of the day and the excitement we had waiting for that game to start and I want others to experience the same.

But the stumbling block for most teams would be cost and possibly the worry of not knowing what it will end up at and thats where this old format limited paint event could help.

Ten team random divisions - nine games.
Semi-auto.
Air by H-PAC.
Minimum of twenty five bunkers per field.
Good prizes for the winning teams.
UK refs on all fields.
includes 9000 tournament quality paintballs per team.

All teams would have 9000 per team to utilise as they wish and I assure you teams will be going home with paint.
The limit part is how much paint the team has in total on the day not what you can use per game.

The cost per team is £287.50 thats only £57.50 per player for a five man team or if you do what I recommend and bring six players it would work out at less than £48.00 each.

Dates and venues are to be confirmed but sooner rather than later.

If you have genuine interest in this fixed price format or would like more details post away or send a PM.

sounds like a great idea.

would these be stand alone events or part of a series (as i see it is in the plural...)? would there then be overal series results/winners, or just event-by-event?
There would be a series (if the demand is there) but each would be a separate event, if it developed into something that teams wanted to play on a regular basis I could tweak it if necessary.
But I think we should just keep it basic and simple at this point and let teams play what they want without any undue pressure in committing to playing all of them when it may be difficult.

sounds good but with the paint will that not breech some teams deals with only being allowed to shoot/train with specific brands?

I am on that case, I have started to talk to some of the paint suppliers and none of the ones I have spoke to have expressed and concerns about that point.
Lets be honest nobody who will be thinking of playing this event will be sponsored to the extent that the paint supplier will stop them playing.

Also I want to use different suppliers at each event so every one of them will be able to expose there brand.

There is a lot less politics than you think at this level, they all just want teams to develop.
