The World Cup trade show / vendor village is always something to look forward to as the paintball season winds down . Since the NXL took over the pro / am circuit the ‘ Cup ’ s trade show has gotten enormous . This year ’ s vendors included all of the major players in the wholesale and retail paintball business , including GI Sportz , JT Paintball , Planet Eclipse , DYE Paintball , HK Army , Infamous , Luxe , Lone Wolf , Sandana , Social Paintball , Field One , GOG , Sup ’ Air , Ninja Paintball , Virtue Paintball , Hormesis , Valken and so many more . In all there were just under 60 vendors present .
Side note , GI Sportz paint fairly well , eh ? Looks like a clean sweep of the World Cup and the season . That ’ s literally never been done before !
In addition to the main wholesale and retail vendors there was a food court with Chick-Fil-A , Dily Dily Donuts and a handful of others . One of the big hits at this year ’ s event was the Paintball Museum , which was jam-packed with classic paintball gear from every era of the game ’ s history . Literally all of the gear in the museum is owned by William Bailey and Kenny Stewart — and they were giving tours all week long .
And of course there was the VIP viewing area at the Pro field , the mounds field and 11 X-ball fields .
