Paintball is ready...

[Duncster]

I went down to watch the finals at Campaign Cup on Sunday. A year ago I would have said that Paintball still has two or three years to go before it was ready to go mainstream. But after what I saw yesterday, I reckon we're there already.

That was quite simply some of the most exciting stuff I've ever seen!! And I've been told that the X-Ball was even better!!

So what are we waiting for??!!!

Dunc.

Yup, read about X-ball a while ago, thought it would be a bit of a flop, not that much different to watching normal paintball.

Wow, how wrong I was - after watching the USA vs Denmark match on Friday at CC, I was speechless - it was simply awesome to watch - has to be seen to be believed - the fact that we watched it from a massively raised platform at the side, with the staging area underneah made it simply superb to watch. Needs to be televised asap! I felt a bit sorry for the Yanks, but the crowd (me included) were basically all booing the Yanks and cheering the Danes, it was an awesome feeling, proper spectator sport finally!

Yeah I was there aswell, it was great. Team usa deserved the booing though, they argued all the time and were bad losers.

I agree X-ball Was Amazing, it was the first time i had watched X-Ball and i loved it i cant wait to play it. that America Sweden Match was Great , theres nothing like watching some awsome ball with a pint in your hand,
and when the americans started spitting there dummies and every started going OOOOoooooo i pissed my pants,

it is So the way foward for paintball, but dont get me wrong theres is still a place for the old format cos there two different games almost,

anyway i loved it

Yea XBall was wicked! Cant wait to watch it again-definately a format that makes paintball spectator friendly. Whenever you see it you will know! I got carried away with the crowds! You even found that people found it hard to stop being eager speactators in the games the next day-there was definately some over excited heckling at one game I saw on friday.

X ball

I worked the X ball flields for the everning games not as a marshall ,and I can tell you the tension in the players area was amazing ,some great teamwork to get the teams out on time and the crowds were fantastic, the U.S.A did get a bit upset but the rest of the teams played it in great spirit. hope it makes tv soon.
