Farside was formed in November of
1988 in Illinois by the late Forest Brown.
The team played in the Open and high
level Amateur divisions for more than a
decade with much success. The current
incarnation of the team has deep roots
in the squad that played the World
Cup together in 2000 and the Farside
Kids team of the same era. The team
disbanded in 2000 for a short time and
got back together with some new blood
and a better attitude and the team took
second place at the NPPL ten-man World
Cup that year. That Farside team featured
John Rathbun, John Dresser, Jamin
Kuhnke, TJ Harback and David Zorn. The
Farside Kids team featuring Kyle Pikrone,
Andrew Zorn, Andy Horvath and Ben
Chewning later joined some of the above
Farside players to form Evil Factory. Brock
Jolliff, Grant Butler and Ben Frederick
were also part of Evil Factory.

From John Dresser, “The current Farside
squad is really just a group of friends who
used to play paintball under the same
name close to 20 years ago. We haven’t
gone searching for more current players
since first playing ten-man together once
in 2014 at the PSP World Cup. Many of
us hadn’t played as Farside for most of
a decade at that point. And we wouldn’t
play again together until the mechanical
ten-man event in Atlanta in 2017 run by
Lane Wright. We won that and the Fight
Club event. We also won the Trade My
Gun mechanical 7-man and placed third
at the recent event at Gator Paintball.”
