PaintballX3 Magazine Ultimate Paintball Field Guide | Page 8

8 From the Editor Version 1, June, 2014 I’ve Seen the Best & worst Anyone that has been involved in paintball for a number of years realizes that many of the hardest working people in this industry and usually the least appreciated, are the paintball field owners. Yet they are the most important aspect of the game. It’s the field operator that provides the game experience for the player and whether that’s a good or not so good experience has everything to do with the success and growth of the game we all love. On the other hand those that play our game week in and week out are its lifeblood. Without the players there’s nothing left of the game of paintball. So it’s with those two things in mind that we put together this first annual Ultimate Paintball Field Guide. Our hope is that you (the player) will use this guide to learn more about the various paintball fields around North America--what they offer, what they feature, their playing fields, amenities and what you should expect to encounter in a day’s play. We also hope that this guide will serve as a sort of visual paintball field directory so that fields can show the best of what and who they are--and with that will be an increase in business and growth in the game itself. For paintball field operators there’s a modest cost to be included in this guide. We hope you’ll see the value in a professionally designed and published paintball field guide that we believe will grow into the go-to directory for paintball players and future paintball players alike.
