Here it is the solution to the problem. Its easy all we need to know is the date and who wants in. This is the idea.

We could hold the Inter-Uni easily

it would be pretty basic, but it could be done. These where the points discussed:

We host it at ambush:- they have 3 fields, site guns for hire, on-site tech, staging area, Air, CO2, and Paint

we would need ambush to expand a little to fit us in, but hiring all thier fields, and getting all the teams to buy thier paint and food, i think ambush would be more than happy to help.

Working on 10 teams 5 men each team, £20 per player, this covers hire of three fields, marshalls. U can buy paintballs from them, decent price, and they also have air and co2 on site.

If u havent got a marker they have loads, masks etc,paint, food, its all there.

No more talking about it problem solved. Lets get it cracking.

We can then get Kitch to put up his trade stand, and maybe invite some more people, maybe PBUK?

Get team Quake, Monkey Love, and Portsmouth City to Marshal
first off you just stole my idea, and made it look like your own, not that i care :)

secondly you have just broadcast some realy big assumptions, seeing as no one has actualy contacted ambush or any of the proposed marshaling teams !!! some people might not be happy with that.

speek to people first before you make propositions like this in public!!

Well Mr longbow, check our forums dude, i did post saying that i would post this idea elsewhere and see what reaction it gets. And thats what i did. If i was going to "STEAL" your idea, then surely i would of changed it slightly (wordage at least) and then posted it where u wouldnt see it.

Check our forum
"Matt u r a genius, have posted it elsewhere awaiting replies but we should do it."

My exact words, so whats the problem, at least people are talking about it and organising stuff, if we kept it just as ports uni, it would take ages. And would run the risk of never happening.

I havent said this is a definate (did i), i just posted it as an idea. to get things moving, so calm down guys, if people liked the idea, then obviously we would of asked.

But if no one suggest owt then nothing can happen, and this will stay as a non-event.

And wow people are talking about it, discussing it with organisations. So hey something somewhere worked. Even if they were discussing it before (which is a big possibility, at leats they now we are interested)

If all the uni paintball teams in the UK dont communicate with each other, then the probs of not being offically recognised, and not being a major sport will continue. And uni pb will grow at a snails pace. For the good of the sport, this needs sorting.

Have modified my posts to give u full credit, and to remove any names in questions, just in case they dont want mentioning.

But as i said we as a uni team can talk about ideas all day and nothing will happen. Post it and involve other people, and things have a chance.

What a bunch of girls!!!:D

No offence was intended by this message. To the site, any of the mentioned teams, or the creator of the idea.

Next time just email me if you want something on a post changing.

If people network more is achived.

Anyway i gotta start some uni work now. so catch ya on wednesday.

erm, calm down mate, i dont mind you posting the idea here, there is no problem with that, but you did need to change the wording so that you didnt implicate certain teems, in a plan they knew nothing about. please dont take offence in anything i said.

S**t Happens!!
Well I thought I would add my 2pence :)

I have been told by my uni that I can go ahead and make a uni paintball team at my uni! I am going to use the whole of the summer to organise things and save money.

I believe I will start off with rec ball but hopefully if I have enough interest will have tourny playing as well!

we will be willing to travel down to events every so often so we may meet up sometime :D but we will have to see! I am fairly sure we will be traveling down to u lot all the time as I am fairly sure none of u really want to travel up to Aberdeen Scotland :eek:

auch well I will inform you all on how I get on with organising a Uni team up here!

l8r guys
