In recent paintball history, only high profile tournament speedball teams playing in organized leagues received sponsorship. Today, with the increase in sales of woodsball products from companies like Tippmann Sports, the abundance of mil-sim style modifications for paintball markers (including the SP-8 and the Black Cell Ion), plus the advent of the Scenario Paintball Players League (SPPL) and increasing popularity of big games like Oklahoma D-Day (the world's largest paintball game) woodsball is coming back to the forefront of the sport. With this increased exposure comes an increased sponsorship opportunity for woodsball teams and players.
