In 2009 PALM held an International paintball series on the
island of Kish, Iran, and invited teams such as the Ironmen,
Tontons and other international teams to participate but
the whole event was more a show case event and it was an
opportunity for regional teams to play some of the world’s
best at the time to be able to assess their own teams, to
see how much of a gap they need to fill if they were to
attend more prestigious International events.
Several years have passed and there are a lot more
teams in the region now, a region that consists of over
17 countries, all too eager to attend larger and more
professional tournaments within their own region.
PALM series is planning to hold more regional games, it
doesn’t have to be a “World Cup” it can simply be a local
or a regional cup that can give us the best experience
with the least amount of money spent. The more time and
money teams save the more chance they will get to play
paintball more often.
In essence this is exactly why we have PALM Series Paintball
Organization, we will help coordinate and arrange
paintball tournaments within our regional countries and
we will also hold regional games as the result of these
local tournaments.
PALM will try to find the “cheapest solution” in getting
teams to the games, finding the most reasonable
accommodations and will try its best to keep the game
costs down to make trips less expensive and more fun.
