How does it not have organized practices? You don't think paintball teams practice?

Organized games would be anyday some team plays on a field against another field. Or just a group of people playing.

Bring Dad out to play... if he can take the heat he'll get hooked and your problem is solved.  If on the other hand, he is a big puss, you are out of luck.  I apologize in advance if he is like in a wheel chair, 85, or blind...

...my carma is takin' a hit for posting this one... ouchy...

With Fathers Day tomorrow this is actually a pretty good idea. A lot of fields run specials for dad/son together and it's a good way to "spend some quality time" with each other. If you can get dad hooked he is more likly to support your habit (just ask my son...)

98% of ion owners think ions are better than any high end gun. If you would like to bonus ball these idiots put this in your sig.

Why not?  It can be a family thing.  Some people here said their moms have guns.   Still it's a sport, because they do practice, and others come to watch the game.  It's an organized sport where it's just not televised a lot.

www.webdogradio.us had some video of an old ESPN paintball game.  They didn't even have full face masks.
