Within the paintball world the debate between speedball players and woodsball players over the virtues of their preferred type of play continues to burn. Both sides of the debate have become so entrenched in their beliefs that it seems this is a debate without resolution. One paintball team, the Tippinators, playing from Mersey Road Paintball in picturesque Nova Scotia, Canada has a unique perspective on the game from both sides of the debate.

Atlantic GT - Atlantic Xtreme Paintball

Tippinators competed in the Moncton stop of the "Golden Triangle (GT) 2006 Series" speedball tournament held at Atlantic Xtreme Paintball, Memramcook, New Brunswick on July 15th, 2006. The team managed another seventh place for a respectable middle of the pack finish for the mil sim airball team in their first interprovincial tournament and road trip in this the second of the Atlantic GT series. Unlike the cold rain endured at the Halifax GT the competitors in this tournament were pleased to finally play on a perfect day with sun and hot temperatures.
