What separates CPS from other leagues or events? Why should players attend your events? Tournament paintball in Europe is boring to me... same paintball, same things just different quantities.

Everything is about good game fun and great times which we spend together. We are putting the fun back in tournament paintball with a very friendly party atmosphere. WWW.PAINTBALLX3.COM
