I know there's been talk here lately of (tournament) paintball making it into the British Universities & Colleges Sport (BUCS), although there's been a significant lack of progress since a couple of weeks ago - I'm hoping stuff is going on behind the scenes.
However, here at Southampton University, the club, while mainly woodsball and scenario, has just bought our own Sup'air field. Strictly speaking, I bought it, but anyway. We are in the process of organising a tournament for the clubs and societies at Southampton University.
Here's a suggestion, based on what we're looking at for our clubs and societies tournament, of where we go next:
A tournament for university teams (any number of teams per uni). Probably held near Southampton, exact location tbc.
Price: ~£200/team including all paint (playing limited paint, quantity to be decided, format) hire of air tank (no own air tanks) and, if necessary, anything else needed.
Teams would be 5-man, but probably with rolling subs.
Field layout will be decided once I've got my head around what bunkers we actually have.
It's an idea I've had floating around in my mind. If we can run it where we want to run it, then there's a travelodge or something like that about 10 minutes walk away.
Would just like to gauge interest really so if you're interested in this, please drop me a PM. I don't need firm "yes I'm up for this" yet, I just want to know that if we can come to some common ground regards timing and pricing, then would people be up for it?
Cheers in advance,
Chris, and the Southampton University Paintball Club
