Only the richest (or ,most sponsered will survive)

Now this has annoyed me a bit....
Robbo: only a team with sponsorship or funding (or they all ahve Uber jobs)......such as the russians or top yank teams can afford to train that much. And to be fair they are close to being at the top end of the sport. But who in the real world can afford to waste a box of paint per player everytime they practice (i'd be very surprised if it was less-and very intrested to learn thier drills).
Put this into perspective of the aspiring player, who wanted to become as godly as some of these pro's seem... = (in the UK thats £40 per box, 3 times a week,+ travel) thats b4 you even think about going to a tourney.......you do the math...
So to all those teams that dont have sucha perfect training facility and all the paint you can eat, dont sweat it, you can train like the rest of us, as and when we can.......
Pestilence, you obviously did not read my post and if you had done, it may well not have annoyed you.
I said, 'It's not how many times they do it, it's what they do that's important'.
In that case, unsponsored teams are just as able to train properly if they know what they are doing.
Problem is, too many people disappear up their own ass with outdated and inappropriate philosophies regarding training.
You could do a proper training training session with perhaps (at most) two boxes of paint for the whole team.
It is then up to your pockets how many times you do this a month but please don't try to tell me the pursuit of paintball excellence is solely in the domain of the super-sponsored teams, coz it ain't !!!!
And with respect, I think I may well be better placed to do the math than you and believe me I have done it, this paintball excellence to which I refer is open to most people and teams, it's purely a matter of direction and discipline and not listening to bull****.
