Tippmann Cahllenge Mirabel 2010

The eastern Canadian stop of the Tippmann Challenge was held on August 14, 2010 at Mirabel Paintball, just north of Montreal Quebec.

Six Tippinators made the 28 hour round trip drive from Halifax, to join over 1200 other players in one of the best organized paintball events in the country. To facilitate 1200 players, Mirabel joined all of their individual fields together to one large field. This made a multifaceted field which required repeatedly changing playing styles in order to be successful.

Though the game was played in the heart of Quebec, not all players at the game were French Canadaian. The Tipps were happy to play along side Glen Hogan, Sean Thompson and a crew from Paintball Paradise in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The Paradise guys, and gal, played a similar fire and move, highly aggressive style as the Tipps. Although the teams camefrom opposite sides of the country, they played like old friends.

Atlantic Tactical Woodsball League Event II

Atlantic Tactical Woodsball League (ATWL) season reached the half way point on August 7, 2010 at Overkill Sportz, Mount Uniacke, Nova Scotia.

Once again the Tippinators were asked to referee as the best woodsball teams in Atlantic Canada squared off in event two. The Mersey Road Mercenaries are again leading the league. The Mercenaries are looking for a championship three-peat, extend their lead and leave other teams behind.

The Tippinators covered the field and were privileged to watch some great paintball, played by some of the fiercest competitors in the sport.

At the end of the day, the Mersey Road Predators and Team Anthraxx closed the gap on the Mercenaries. With a race this tight the remainder of the season is guaranteed to have some great paintball.

Atlantic Xtreme Paintball League Event 2

The Tippinators Paintball AXBL Team and Tippinator Cyclone AX4 Team were primed and ready to play Event #2 of the Atlantic Xtreme Paintball League season. AXBL event 2 moved to a first time venue at Storm Warning Paintball in Kentville Nova Scotia on June 17 and 18, 2010.

The Cyclones practiced hard between prior to event 2 and hoped the hard work would translate into improved performance on the field.

Sponsorship - The Holy Grail of Paintball

Ask not what your sponsor can do for you...

What is something that every paintball team wants and few have? Sponsors. Sponsorship is the Holy Grail of paintball. If you have sponsors you are considered to be in another class among paintball teams.

Anybody can find a sponsor for his or her paintball team. The one thing you have to keep in mind is that the potential sponsor only cares about one thing, selling more products. Sponsors need to be convinced that investing in your team makes good business sense. Ideally, the company’s name will be “marketed” to a segment of potential customers in a positive manner, which will result in more exposure and sales. Welcome to the cold, harsh, economically-driven “real” world. It’s all about the bottom line, and most sponsors need to see dollar signs
