And sounds good bro, can't wait to ball it up with you guys out there. I'll hit you up when I get to the island to figure out where the field is and such.

It's okay...same ol same ol..had a tourney recently to support the Guam All Stars on their tourney at World Cup Asia. They are currently ranked 2nd in the series so if they do well they can take the series title.

Some new players, mostly from Air Force and Navy, some new pump players as well, but it's not as big as it was before. Sometimes I'm tempted to call it quits but I think I'm an addict to this crazy hobby.

How's the field out on the island? Cost for paint and what paint brand?

Only one real field on island and it's pretty much only speedball with ramping or semi depending on the group of players. Tourney or league format is based of the Paintball Asian League Series which is a mix of PSP and Millennium race to format.

Paint varies. Right now the field has been bringing in DXS low end brands. Heard that they will also be getting some Dye paint as well. Paint ranges between $60-70 a case. Field fee and all day air is only $10.00

There may be a field on the air force base but it's so small and from what I hear no one goes there so it could be closed already.

No woodsball/scenario fields but I'm sure there are some outlaw or backyard games happening around the island.

Holy crap. 60-70 a case?

A lot of teams out there? Any of them compete on xball?

RLN · 08-27-2012, 06:01 PM

We're on Guam....shipping costs alone can be high so of course the paint costs that much. If you did not know, normally it's a minimum of 1 crate of paint from suppliers so shipping is expensive. Plus the field is field paint only so the cheap $40 case at Kmart won't be allowed. Besides a $10 field fee with all day compressed air isn't so bad.

Handful of teams. They usually only come out if there's a tourney or league going on. Not much players, there are the usual 10-20 players that come a lot and then once in a while they'll be a private group or someone casual rec player. Paintball out here has gone down a bit. There used to be a league of 40 teams..8 years ago. Now a tourney may have as little as 5 teams sign-up.

Like my post earlier the format out here is based on the Paintball Asian League Series so it's a combination of PSP/Millennium rules with a race to format. Normally the ROF for tourneys is PSP ramping 12.5pbs. We did have a mech 3 man tourney recently as well in addition to a Xball race to 3 format.

Sounds good! Just glad there is paintball to be involved in..i'd hate to quit for 2 years after putting so much work in this past year. (by work i mostly mean money). Looking forward to playing out there, may 2013...I'll post again when it gets closer

You'll probably be the first Axe Pro out here. It's mainly Proto/Dye and Eclipse out here with some old Angels, Shockers, Ions, etc. that pop up every once in a while.

Is there any fields that offer rentals? I might be out that way for a work assignment and hope to play.

Yea the field I've been mentioning Xsports offers rentals. Just the basic Tippy 98s with cheap mask and chest protectors. Not sure about the price.

gotta 14 peeps coming out the 17th this month as long as xsports stays in contact with me to tell me were all good... does anyone have guns that can be rented besides the tippmanns?

dukduk · 03-05-2013, 07:46 PM
