I dunno about that, there's enough 'cheating w*nkers' in the UK as well as allover the world, I think its no more prevalent in the US than it is over here.
You also have to take into account that the paintball scene is 10 time larger in the US. So for every cheating ******* you catch here you can catch 10 there. LOL

Damn Big. You are being kinda harsh on my British Pals. There is some good talent in the U.K. and it is up and coming. Watch out later on in the year.;)

I'd say the top US players don't need to cheat because they don't consider it cheating.

You speak to guys from the top teams and they will quite honestly tell you the difference they see between the US and Europe is that they will do 'whatever' it takes to win. I've had this conversation with many guys from the top teams (but do not intend to name names). If they can lose a hit or play on for that crucial elimination they will and think nothing of it.

They take what the rest of Europe considers to be cheating as part of their game and they accept it a lot more than we do.

They are still better players than most in Europe but they definitely have less worries about 'cheating' when 'required' also.

The US players tend to play much more often because it is cheaper and more accessible for them, that will always lead to a better pool of talent.

I'd say that competition in the USA is so much more engraved in the Americans minds. You gotta be top of the class, employee of the month, Queen of the prom, beauty pageant winner etc etc.
Those colonists grew up competing with eachother, and those red skinned people who blatantly walked their virgin lands. :D

Paintball is an American sport, it'll always be like that. And us Euros will always bite their dust. I'm cool with it though.

I'm not bitter.

No really I'm not.
