Photo by Gary Baum The Refs Paintball refs never get enough credit. The old sports say, “the refs did their job if you don’t remember seeing them,” holds true in paintball as well. But the fact is refs on the pro circuit and those that work the big games work 10-12 hour days, often don’t get a decent meal until 9PM and they are underpaid. Refs at local fields are often paid in playing time or paint. So on behalf of paintball players everywhere, thank you! 016 paintball.media magazine
