I'm kinda at teesside (year in industry) there is a paintball club at the uni, however It's nothing to do with the "teesside team" at the inter-uni cup, as teesside could decide whether we were a club or society and wouldn't let us away with out a commitee and 10 members.
I think they all do rec-ball, however if you are wanting to "gently persuade" them into tourney ball, see if you can get a team going, talk to the guys there, (may help if have issue 1 of PBUK as there is a review of it in there).
If you need anything let me know as I was the captain of the teesside team, <fame mode> I was the guy named!
