I understand completely what you are saying but the theory behind sponsership is to advertise there products, if the figures actually end up increasing sales is only known to the companys. Also i think what hybrid is mainly putting it down too is the problem with the china factory making cheap immationssurely if these paintball companys gave less away as sponsorship then they wouldnt suffer so bad. the reason i say this is that small teams make it off their own backs and do ok so why cant the larger teams. i know people are gonna slag the hell outta me for this BUT if they cut sponsorship then the smaller teams would be on a more equal plain with the big name teams. if teams couldnt afford milleniums or psp or nppl then surely those tournaments would have to drop prices or suffer themselves? i dont fully understand the situation but as i see it. less sponsorship is a good thing for everyone
