Kevin Donaldson - Kevin is the current captain and lifetime member of the Master Blasters ( powerhouse 1980s and early 90s team ) and former owner of Action Sports Outfitters paintball store . Kevin was the creator of the ASO Players Tournament Series in the 1980s and current producer of the Woodsball World Cup . The Blasters are back playing Classic paintball .
Dynasty – No most influential anything list in paintball would be complete without including Dynasty . In the history of paintball , no team has won more than 25 ten-man events in the pro division . Dynasty has won more than 50 . And no team has done it longer , through more types and styles of games and certainly no team has ever been as popular with fans of the pro game as Dynasty .
Rafe and Bart Farmer - While Marcus Davis and his UK Predators put the world on notice that Americans didn ’ t have a patent on great tournament paintball play , Rafe and Bart Farmer ’ s team , Bart ’ s Stud Crew ( one of the very early UK tournament teams ) were the first team from the UK to head across the Atlantic to face the U . S . super-powers head to head on their turf . The year was 1988 and the event was the National Survival Games Championships in Nashville , TN . This opened the door for teams like the Predators , NAM Wrecking Crew and many other that would follow in the coming years . Later the Farmers put together another excellent UK team called The Eagles .
Joe Fortin - When Team Xtreme Captain admitted to throwing a final round NPPL game it was the first time that a team made public this type of confession — although everyone knew it was happening regularly . Extremely harsh penalties are now in place if someone is caught throwing a tournament game . Joe has also been a paintball field and store owner for many years in the Atlanta , Georgia area .
