This created much off-field excitement
in the players and spectators as well as
called out paintballers that do not always
fancy an all-day scenario. It offered a way
for players to assist their team with points
in a different avenue. Tourney ballers of
all types jumped at this chance to rule the
high seas, and with both teams finding
