“The Tippmann Challenge comes to France! We’re extremely pleased to be working with Christophe from Euro Paint and Tim from Shoreline in bringing the Tippmann Challenge to France for the first time. It’s all about the players at Tippmann Challenge events. Euro Paint has the infrastructure to host campers and put together a great weekend of paintball events that players will never forget. This isn’t just one Big Game. There will be mini TiPX Pistol and SL68II Pump Gun Challenges, prize give-aways and many other interesting activities. Having this event in France has been long overdue!”
Brent Cunningham, Director International Sales, Tippmann Sports, LLC
“The Tippmann Challenge France has all the ingredients for a great event. A fantastic facility located right in the heart of Europe, a weekend in the middle of summer and teams from six different countries already committed to play the game before the event has even been launched! I can smell a great event a mile off, and this looks set to be an epic weekend of paintball for European players.”
