For me one of the highlight events of the 2019
Paintball Extravaganza was the Wednesday

Syndrome Foundation which funds research
for PCDH19 and SCN8A Epilepsy. meet new people in the game. For anyone
that was around during the International
Amateur Open’s heyday, the Extravaganza is

the event’s official activities end by 6Pm each
afternoon that leaves the evening meetings,

2020 Paintball Extravaganza will be relocated
to another part of the country. The event had
a nice run in the Washington DC area but its
run is up. We’ll keep you posted as we learn
