Paintball Sports Promotions is gearing up for the 2008 season. Our schedule includes a return to some tried and true locations as well as a few new ones. With the most popular formats, the best referee corp in the world, and the most comprehensive ID and classification system available, we’re looking forward to another successful year.

For the 2008 season, paint may be purchased onsite at each event from one of the PSP sponsors. Numerous companies will be offering a wide selection of the most technologically advanced paint available on the market today. Featuring tournament grade fills, consistent accuracy, and proven performance, you’re sure to find top quality paint at competitive prices.

While teams may still bring their own paint to the event, only sponsor-brand paint will be allowed. Red and pink fill will also be unacceptable.

Staining paint will not be allowed. PSP and our paint sponsors are working together on a formula that will continue to provide high quality tournament level paint without the staining quality.

For more information on rules concerning paint and equipment as well as updates on the 2008 season, stay tuned to www.pspevents.com. We look forward to seeing everyone in 08.

After our most successful season yet, PSP is excited to be moving forward toward an even better 2008 Season.

As always, we are raising the bar for tournament paintball and feel the following format changes will continue to make XBall more accessible to everyone.
