Team Image at the Iron City Classic RUSSELL: The very basis for many players’ first experiences with paintball is the central concept of capture the flag. And competition around the base concept has existed uninterrupted throughout paintballs highs and lows. Naturally expanding that into a competitive format is at the heart of the appeal for Classic Format. Easily understood by amateurs yet difficult to master without the guidance of an experienced player. The format has a draw for players young and old - fostering a learning/growing team environment that has been in short supply in recent paintball history. By including the dynamic of choosing a mechanical or bps limited electronic marker we reach yet another facet of the paintball community centered around the equipment. It is cliche to say, however, there is something for everyone in Classic Format paintball. P.M: Anything you would like to add? TIM: We have to thank all of the teams, players, captains, and sponsors for their endless support. It is because of everyone’s continued efforts and input that I believe the Classic Paintball format will continue to grow. THANK YOU! RUSSELL: I just want to thank the players who are out there and becoming active in the sport. The overwhelmingly positive response we have received really lets us know we are on the right track, it has been a truly humbling experience. Thank you. P.M: Thank you guys! www.paintball.media 0111
