"The long relationship that the Vipers shared with Dye Precision and Proto has also come to an end. We cannot be more appreciative of the last 5 years that Dye/Proto has supported the Palm Beach teams and we will always remain supportive and friendly with our Dye family. We would not be where we are today without the generosity that has been bestowed upon us and we are truly honored and fortunate to have been able to represent Dye and Proto since 2004.
All will be revealed in good time friends. I also would have prefered to have stayed with Proto. We were the first Proto team and it would have been nice to have been the last. But as with all things in life sometimes its just time to make changes. The reason for the departure has nothing to do with not winning, we were with Proto since 2005, sponsorship is a marketing tool nothing more. Highly visible teams are proven to sell branded products better than teams nobody knows that win. The state of the industry creates reasons for cutbacks with all of the companies in the game. I am still friends with everyone at Dye and that will never change, this was a difficult decision by both parties based strictly on business. As stated on the team website, our relationship with Dye was one of the greatest things that ever happened to us. Dye never said no and were always supportive of the organization, and we did the same for them in return. I could never thank the entire staff at Dye enough for everything they did for me and my players.
In the coming days we will be announcing new stuff on the website as we move forward with getting it all up and running.
Be on the lookout for Palm Beach teams playing all over the country not only in national events but expanding to include all the major regional series as well. We will be hosting tryouts for those regional teams that will be comprised of locally based players to play under the Palm Beach name. Our first date will be for a CFOA focused crew on January 10 at PBC Greensboro. I hope to see some of you there.
As always the best way to end specualtion and rumor is to shoot me a message or an email, I'm happy to answer. Sometimes the answer might be "I can't say yet" or "Stay tuned to the website" but I promise to answer.
We will continue to support and be supported for 2010 by Mike's Paintball in West Palm Beach and Gen X Global... more to come soon.

No Upping threads. If you have something to say, please do, but don't post in the thread just to take it to the top of the forum.
Do not post "1st post", "1st", "First post" or anything similar (or with any other number) at any point in a thread, even if you post a comment too. It is really annoying and it will result in a ban.
If you don't like something, say why instead of just calling it ugly, lame, gay or any other name. If it is old, simply post a link or report the post with a link to the older News thread.
Please don't post links for places to buy items. That encourages stores, sponsored players and other people to do it and spam the site.
