Day two I awoke to the sound of my
alarm again and this time it was more
of a reasonable hour - 0630. I made my
way to the site with great anticipation
of what I would see, with all 4 divisions
running (Elite to D Four).
a podium finish. Needless to say there
was a lot of interest with this team from
a small place in the heart of Scotland
after they made a 10 hour round trip to
show what they can do taking 76 points
out of 100.
The elite filed, comprised of 22 of the
best teams in the UK were going though
their final filed walks and their team
talks. This year there was a twist in that
these Elite and D2 divisions will become more of a Champions/Challengers
group, with the bottom team in Elite
getting demoted each event, and the
top team in Division 1 being promoted.
This will keep things exciting at the top
and at the bottom, as well as ensuring
that Elite is truly “Elite” in 2014.
A team to watch out for...

in the elite division.

I came across a team from Falkirk in
Scotland going under the name of Mad
Sqad Rebels. They decided to try their
hand at tournament paintball as they
are a team of woodsballers. They were
looking for a chance to see what they
can do on the tournament stage for a
team that never played or trained in
tournament and they just missed out on

I also came across Ultraviolet all female
team formally known as the Banshees.
These young ladies play in D3 as well as
the Millennium Series and a few of the
team head over to the ECW East Coast
Woman’s league.
