Just a general comment on what's been said, alot of people have mentioned the slowness in play, specifically the "sit and shoot" aspect that would drive away viewers.

This seems a bit wierd to me when you look at baseball and football, most of it's just standing around. At least when paintballers are standing around, they've got a gun blazing.

But with baseball and football, you know when the standing around is gonna end and the action is starting again. Until then your free to go to the toilet, grab a burger, down a pint, make out with your gf etc. Then when the chap steps up to the plate (baseball) or the huddle breaks up and you know a play is a bout to be made (football), then you can focus on the game again.

In paintball, it requires constant focus for the solid 3-4 mins because it's a more of a blink and you miss it kinda sport. Many people with short attention spans would grow bored quickly watching a guy lay down a line on the tape for 20 seconds, not knowing if anything is going ot even come of it.
