Please! We’re Begging You!

July 29th, 2009 | Category: One Shots

Dear paintball producers and field owners,
We, the players of the world’s greatest sport, have only one recourse left. Outright grovelling and begging. We’re not above it and not ashamed to resort to it. But for the love of Tippman, please get it together and figure out what you’re doing.  Two words: “game scheduling”.

July 09th, 2009 | Category: Events

BT Global GameOne of the best kept secrets in paintball is the world’s biggest game. Well, at least, it wants to be the biggest game when it grows up, and being a secret is not such a good thing when it comes to advertising. But on Saturday, August 8th, BT is sponsoring their Global Paintball Game. BT has been conspicuously quiet about the details and Tango Alpha2 is proud to be the first to provide you with some of the details. In part one of this exclusive “scoop”, we will go over some of the details of the local game at Boss Paintball in Locust, NC and in part two, (in a day or so) we discuss the missions and who’s playing.
