As the title suggests,Im looking for help and info regarding this.At this time,we are considering entering the Scottish Paintball Championships next year,providing we are upto speed and there is space for our team.Apart from training and stuff,what else would I need to organise?Im aware there are entry fees so thats not a problem.How does it usually work for paint?Do you usually buy it onsite or bring your own?Im just looking for general information regarding the tourney scene as a whole,so I can get the bigger picture and start to plan ahead.Yes,I can be very anal about planning this far ahead.lol.Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Kev
Logistics: Need to work out what hotel and how many rooms you need, and how you will travel there. factor in the cost of these 2 things.
Paint: depends on the site but typically its vendor/sponsor paint only. work out a rough budget for this as well, depending on the format you play
Entry: You already mentioned, and needs paid in advance of the tournament.
Team pods: make sure you've got enough for the entire team plus spares
Time management: the biggest downfall of a lot of teams. make sure every single player knows exactly the dates they need off work/uni/whatever and make sure you've got a full roster, preferably more than 2 days before the event.
Pit crew: Do you need one? if so, do you know people who are willing to help out, or do you plan to use players?
have a plan of how you want to manage your pit crew. Where possible you want to aim for 3 pit crew members, to deal with collecting and filling pots, coaching and cleaning down players etc.
But out of all of that, just making sure that you have a budget and that your players can all stick to it (for the full season) is the biggest help
