teams

[baconboy53]

I live in King's Lynn in norfolk. Me and my friends have been paintballing for about a year now and have been to loads of walk on days. I was wondering if anyone knows of any teams in the norfolk area we could contact. Or do u think it would be better to set up our own 3 man team.
Thankyou si

I would suggest trying to get into a team first, then if your really you have basic knowledge of the dynamics of a team.

There arent too many 3 man tournaments, your looking at, at least 5 man, possibly 7 man, then you have to consider your squad, ie 9-10 for a 7 man team.

Hope this helps.

Have you got any tips to get the extra 2 players in my team. Its not that no one wants to play its the start up cost of the equipment. I will be going to a walk on day this month do you think i will be able to talk to people there? Mabye to see if they will join or if im good enough jion another team.

Hi mate

Get a poster ready and network, ask the site owner if he knows of any like minded people etc., if he minds displaying the poster and maybe even backing your team.

As I mentioned, come and see a team training for a better insight.

Good luck m8 and yes... always allow for 2 more players than the format you enter into else you will find a number of events each year that you will not be able to field a team for... avoid familiy groups as if one cant make it, they generally all cant make it

You wouldnt believe the amount of things you have to think of/organise for a team, but good luck.

how do you generate the cash needed for the tournaments do you all chip in. I know it is very expensive how many paintballs do you use in a normal tournament.

The only way is tha you divide the costs equally as back players should use more paint than front players and you dont want a them and us situation.

We pay on the day and round it up a little to create a team fund, other teams pay subs, it is your call... have a joining fee that can go towards bulk buying paint... so you cn get it cheaper.

Paint consumption for us I reckon is about an average of 300 balls per player per game, so £55 to £70 per person
