Registration Opens for 2008 CFOA Season!

The CFOA, the world’s largest five-man tournament series, is rapidly preparing for the 2008 season! Again offering the two most popular formats in competitive paintball, center flag five-man and XBall, the CFOA will host thirteen events spread across North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee throughout the new year.

While the number of events, states visited and formats offered will remain the same moving into the new CFOA season, 2008 will also be a year of change for the league. The highest level of competition ever offered by the series, the “Amateur” division, will return after a two-year hiatus offering division 1 and division 2 players a home in the CFOA again. More information on the highly exclusive, returning division is available from the CFOA management.

Entrance fees for the new season have been released, and registration for CFOA events via the APPA online system is now open. Even more exciting are the revamped CFOA prize packages as the league has switched from a complicated prize and gift-certificate system to cash prizes offered in all divisions! Thanks to several top industry companies who have stepped up to generously support the CFOA in efforts to provide the very best regional tournament paintball experience for its customers, long waits for prizes or lost gift certificates are a thing of the past for CFOA players! Paintball stores and fields and their customers across the southeast no longer need worry about prizes dumped on the market devaluing paintball equipment prices, helping the local stores and fields that keep paintball alive profitable and growing for the good of the entire sport!

After nearly 8 years of servicing these paintball markers, ICD is handing the reigns to Vaporworks.

Vaporworks was one of the first factory certified repair centers for ICD markers (Freestyle, BKO, B2K, ProMaster paintball markers) outside of the factory. Now after nearly 8 years of servicing these paintball markers, ICD is handing the reigns to us. They are stepping away from the paintball business and we are taking over their service work for them. In the new year, ICD will stop doing all service work on their markers and sending customers to Vaporworks for repair and service work.

We have long been a doing our best to support ICD products and will now do our best to carry on work on their paintball markers for them. You'll get the same service level you'd expect from ICD, only in Kansas instead of Idaho!
