DeWayne Convirs – Scenario paintball is the single most popular format of the game of paintball . No matter how great you think you look in bright blue , yellow or red , the vast majority of the people playing right now are still wearing some combination of green , brown and black and when they get together , they do it in numbers bigger than any tournament . Living proof is the event put together each year by DeWayne Convirs , Oklahoma D-Day . The largest paintball event this side of Moscow , Russia , D-Day draws players from all walks of the game : regular players , re-enactors , spectators , campers , vendors and sponsors . Either way , DeWayne ’ s game is the biggest paintball event around , not to mention a respectful commemoration of the Invasion of Normandy in World War II and that makes him an important part of paintball ’ s history !
