No, this is not an open-to-the-public tournament. Nor even a 'tournament' in the way tourney ballers think of one! It's a 'Paintball Challenge' promotion which our sales team are arranging, the idea being to get different branches of a supermarket (banks, restaurants or whatever) to enter a team each and play a series of 10 minute woodland rec ball games against each other.
It will be run in the same way as our normal rental games but instead of teams made up of random individuals playing as part of the red, blue, green team etc, they will be an insular team playing for their branch.
I'm not sure if we're arranging Tescos vs Sainsbury etc of if it will just be branches of the same supermarket (inter-company event). TBH i don't need to know, i'll just make sure they have the necessary equiment on the day
Relatives can join in, so you can bring the g/f, b/f dad or whomever to make it as friendly/fun event as possible.
Re own kit, the normal DF rules apply. Yes to own gun provided it can run on one of our Co2 bottles (anti-syphon set up to work with Inferno), which rules out most electros which makes for an even game. If at any point the manager gets complaints of overshooting from an own gunner then that person will have to put their gun away and use a field Inferno. No own co2 or air tanks allowed onsite, so plz don't bring a dive tank to fill from.
Own goggles/hopper etc, no problem.
Hope that answers your questions
