Ask not what the UKPSF is doing for you. Ask what you can do for the UKSPF.
Thanks JFK
quote from ukpsf web site :
The UKPSF is a voluntary body and exists to promote the sport of paintball, liaise with government bodies, local authorities and try to make the game of paintball safe and fun to play. One of the main objectives is to have the game of paintball recognised by the Sports Council as a sport!

if you can get those three things to happen, you may stand a chance of getting paintball into the Olympic
all i'm trying to do is get people to discuss this put some idears down and see what happens .
Why? This one would be easy. The way the Russians play, it would be pretty much like the real thing: The whole of Georgia would be shot off the break...
Can only think of one thing the chinese are no good at .......
COCKLE PICKING In Morecambe,
Sorry, could not resist that one.
Paintball doesn't deserve to be in the Olympics, there is no national teams, with a reliable feeder system into them, we don't have an international set up that is established throughout the world. We do not have national, international refs with qualified and established courses.
Paintball would be better to continue to build and develop until we can find a way of making it enjoyable for everyone and entertaining. Then we may see it on TV a lot.

Then you had to ruin it
Today's events have just cemented my view that
Taekwondo has the worse reffing I have ever seen
Don't look at the UK scene when judging whether Paintball could become an Olympic sport.
UK falls way way down when it comes to level of paintball organisation and management compared to the rest of the world and our standard of play reflects that.
If it happens then it will be due to certain other countries convincing the IOC to put it in a trial sport, then who knows what that would do for the UK Scene.
