Lawrenceville, Georgia – February 14, 2015. First and foremost, the PSP would like to apologize for any unintended confusion to our players, supporters and sponsors. At this point we would like to clear the air for the 2015 season.
There will be no new restrictions for any equipment used by divisional teams (including divisional teams competing Sunday on the Pro Field). Regardless of whether the manufacturer of your product is a sponsor of the PSP or not, you will be able to use your equipment, just as you have in previous years.
Secondly, the sponsorship packages created in 2015 were, for the first time, designed to integrate all marketing elements of the PSP and the live webcast. These packages were designed for all companies, large and small, to take full advantage of the massive marketing power of the PSP network. With the primary focus being the matches appearing on the Pro Field and thus the webcast, it is critically important for the PSP to provide true and equitable value to all of our sponsors.
When other leagues were folding and other paintball companies were choosing not to help the teams, the players and our league, the PSP and its supporters dug deep and saved competitive paintball at its highest level, pushing forward and growing despite the worst economic conditions seen since the Great Depression. We did this because we all started as players, because we love the game, so we fought to keep it alive. Our customers, the players, are vitally important to us, which is why we’ve worked so hard over the years, and continue to do so, in building a great place to play paintball.
The PSP has always taken feedback from our player base, coaches and parents to heart. For over 20 years the PSP has been dedicated to the growth of our industry and representing our sport in the best public light possible. Our goal has been, and will continue to be, to provide the best showcase of competitive paintball in the world.
