No need to join a scenario team.
We play events under which you select the faction to play for, you can turn up as an individual, a couple of mates or a team
Depending on what you're after and your point of view of paintball, it's worthwhile you looking around and keeping options open.
Every scenario team has it's own peculiarities and personalities
Some are just a bunch of mates who play paintball
Some are highly organised and practiced teams
Some are locals based at a particular site
Some are a national team who may have a few in an area playing together regularly and then gathering as a whole at certain events
You're well placed with npf as a local, their regular walkon is in a scenario format (diamond wars) and they host paintfest, at which every flavour of paintball will be found - if you can then be there next weekend and you will meet many teams from around the uk
