UKPSF Sanctioned Events & Memberships
- Thread starter Dark Warrior
- Start date
Membership
Players have often said "Well what do I get for my membership money?" you now get a personal accident policy - OK it is not a mega bucks scheme but you are only paying £12.50 membership if it was £100 membership then you might get a couple of hundred pounds a week.
Included is
£5M civil liability
£50,000- death benefits
£50 per week if you are unable to work (after 14 day period)
There is a catch - the policy only applies at UKPSF Sanctioned events - so if you are injured at a non sanctioned event then you are not covered. Players should put pressure on event organsier to get their events sanctioned.
To be sanctioned they need to confirm they have insurance cover for their events, have an approved air policy in place, have an agreed level of first aid cover, the event is held at a UKPSF site or agreed location and in 2007 they offer a discount for UKPSF members. If the event you are attending is not sanctioned, ask why not??

Why ??
Now I know that this will result in a storm of hate from event organisers - bring it on - but since the scheme has been launched very few event organisers have shown any interest in the scheme.
To give you an idea
The PA and the South West league full support the scheme and their paperwork is on its way to me so both with be sanctioned asap.
Braveheart organisers have expressed an interest and to be fair the scheme was too late for this year but will be looked at for 2007 the same is true for the Saving Ryan's Privates event.
A couple of walk on events have asked for info - but beyond that NOTHING
So as a player I ask you to ask your event organiser ONE question
Why is this event not sanctioned?
Not knowing about the scheme is not an answer - there is info on every forum about the scheme - maybe some can't meet the simple criteria - It is about time questions were asked !!!
Steve
It has been said that the scheme was set up to promote Genesis events as I am involved - not true - it was to protect players - the reason the Genesis events are sanctioned is simple - they meet the criteria and the organisers fully support the UKPSF and the insurance scheme
About to make several enemies in the paintball world

possibly because they feel that they're insurance is adequate for their needs?
You know there's enough politics on the scene at the minute steve. It could be seen as you trying to rattle the cage.
however its a great idea. good job.

Insurance
I doubt any event organiser has insurance that has a personal accident scheme for the player.
