I would assume it would be along the same lines of the original players picked to respresent their country in the first ever X ball tournament.

Bob long coaching USA and Robbo coaching england etc.

The best players in the country very rarely play domestic ball, so the tournament organisors would not know or be able to identify the best players.

This type of thread has been done to death with the best 7 of this and best 7 of that.

Since Paintball is not a sport (although many kid yourselves differently), nor has a national let alone International governing body or even rule sets, you've got as much chance of seeing Olympic Paintball as you have rocking horse sh*t.

And isn't paintball corrupt enough without involving the Olympic Committee?

If pushed to name the best UK olympic Squad:

Pembleton (Nexus)
Abbot (Nexus)
Sanchez (Russian Legion)
Mak D (Nexus)
Dunny (Nexus)
Truter (Nexus)
Sykes (Tigers)
Chris (Shockwave)
Jim (Evil Sharks)

I'd through in a couple more Tigers, but their never in PGI enough for me to know their names ;)

Oh, and me and Piper (both Evil Sharks) for comedy value.
