Wayne Dollack – If you ’ ve ever played a scenario game , you have Wayne Dollack to thank for it . That ’ s right , the most successful type of paintball currently , the scenario game , with events like the Grand Finale , Living Legends , Invasion of Normandy , Fulda Gap and Oklahoma D-Day , can all trace their lineage back to the concept of Wayne Dollack , who came up with the idea of the role-playing scenario game in 1985 . Wayne , his wife Jackie and a loyal following of family and crew continue to promote big scenario games like the Grand Finale at their home base , Wayne ’ s World of Paintball , in Florida to this day .
Giovanni D ’ Egidio and Dennis Bukowski - When the game of paintball was not even five years old Dennis founded Sat Cong Village ( later known as SC Village ) in Corona , California , which would quickly become one of the best known , busiest , and largest paintball fields in world . Often the focus of southern California paintball coverage in Action Pursuit Magazine ( APG ), SC Village was a breeding grounds for many of the top paintball teams and players throughout the 1980s and 90s . Later Giovanni ( Gio ) entered the picture and together he and
Dennis have created a southern California magnet for paintball players with their SC Village fields , Hollywood Sports , Giant Paintball Fields and with their events like Decay of Nations games , Bear ’ s Cup , Cal Jam , and the various NPPL / PSP events they have hosted over the years .
Paul and Cleo Fogal - Owning one of the largest and most successful paintball fields of both the past and present is certainly enough to get you onto this list . Paul and Cleo ’ s little paintball field , Skirmish USA , covers hundreds of acres of pristine Pennsylvania Poconos and features everything from thick brush and rolling wooded terrain to villages , forts and castles . Some of the biggest and best-known paintball games in the world have been held at Skirmish , including several incarnations of the World Record Game and the Invasion of Normandy scenario . Perhaps more importantly , Skirmish gets so many large groups and so much recreational business that they literally bus the players in ! That ’ s all very good for paintball , and everyone who is anyone in the paintball industry has spent at least some time at Skirmish .
