The 10k paintball challenge

Well first I will start with my apologies because I have not had time to post on here and give you the information I have been asked for by PM and in the original thread.

For those that do not know our plans, we hope to bring back some great value paintball in a format that used to be in use all over the country but with so called "progress" was left behind for the formats that left players with no idea of knowing what the day's cost would end up at.
Don't misunderstand me, those formats have brought some of the most exciting paintball I have seen since I have been involved in the game.
However and with that said we are convinced a return of the fixed price format where every team starts off completely level with the same amount of paint to use during the day all included in your entry fee can bring great benefit to all teams.

The King Off The Hill type divisions are not helping teams at that level because we all understand that to improve your game you must play some better teams during your days paintball and if you are starting out you will will be wasting the majority of your money if you do not try and stretch yourself within a mixed division.

The rest of the divisions will all gain something using this format and everyone can go home with cash still in their pocket for a change.

So what exactly are we offering..... I kind of think the name of the event may give that away but here we go..........
Each team will be put in a random(ish) division of ten and play everyone else in the division you will use as much paint as you wish out of your allocation of 10,000 per team that will be supplied included in your entry fee.
We will use just one brand of paint at each event and we have talked to the majority of paint suppliers in the country and I expect we will offer all of them at some point.
Each day will be a stand alone event so if you wish to play you can just book in and if you want to give paintball a miss one month for whatever reason it will not be a problem at all.
The price is £57.50 per player (£287.50 per team) and the number of players on field is five man, you can bring as many players as you wish the total team fee will remain the same but you could reduce the individual player game fee.

We are looking at a few different sites and for the first one we are using Skirmish Nottingham one of the best set up sites in the country.
The date for the first one is going to be 7th October and is strictly limited to 20 teams.

To reiterate what you are getting.

Nine Games.
10,000 paintballs.
Air included.
UK Refs on all fields.
Fixed price entry fee.
Minimum of twenty five bunkers per field.
Trophies and good prizes for the winners.


All teams who are interested in playing the above give myself or Rob a call to get booked in.

Hi Everyone,

I am very sorry but we have had to postpone this event because myself and Rob are both required elsewhere (out of the country) that weekend and we forgot.
I have already told the teams who had booked in and asked Rob to post on the websites.
He also called the teams and thought I was doing the websites, hope it has not inconvenienced you to much.
