Hmm… I would play weekly if there was a group that still played. I sold most of my stuff cuz no one played anymore. It was a fun little workout each weekend if you play on a good field or get some speedball games going. ---

Its not that expensive anymore becuase its not super popular. When it was a hot sport, it used to be almost $20 to use the field and air and another $50 if you wanted to rent a gun and $50 for paint for 4 people. Now I heard a lot of places rent guns for $10 and only $10 to play. ---

I figure I will contribute to this thread, mods if there is an issue with this post feel free to contact me: I am currently working on putting together a Paintball event in Dunkirk. I am a volunteer for a camp at Dunkirk Conference Center (East Lake Road, Seaway Trail), and have attended as a camper in the past. We have a piece of land across the road that would be very suitable for a paintball tournament. **About the camp** : For those who have never heard of the property, DCC has been open for roughly 100 years. It is a Christian property, funded partially by local churches and local contributors. Within the last year in fall of the economy, the bank account from where interest was used to maintain the camp went under. The approximate amount of interest per year that was lost (over $100k) is now an outstanding debt. The camp is doing many different events (Walk4DCC on Sept 26, Potluck dinner on Sept 19) in effort to raise money, this tournament will be another one of those events. **Where it stands** : So far we are trying to decide whether it will be a 1 day event, or a 2 day event in which people can spend the night at the cabins we have on site. A date has not been confirmed, but sometime in October is looking solid. Cost has not been determined either. Things we will provide: -CO2 refills -Food and Drink -Lodging (in the event of a 2 day tournament) Things participants will have to bring: -Paintball equipment -Paintballs (aka BYOP) -CO2 tank for the gun (we will have a refill station) -Anything else I might be missing that is necessary. I am solely trying to gauge interest, seeing as I am one of the people on the event planning committee. I will post more updates as they come along. Once again, if there is a problem with this post, mods, please contact me! ---
