If it were called PBTV, I'd confuse it with Public Access television, or PBS.

Dude I was watching a phat video exactly like that. Gog cams and everything. I'll try to find the name next time I'm at the shop. I would like to see regular coverage of tourny action on tv. That would get more people to play and support it. If it were more excepted and people understood what it really was, it may have a chance to become a huge success. What ten-twelve year old kid isn't gonna wanna play a game with phat looking guns, a phat darth mask and body armor running around a field shooting other ten-twelve year olds. And in some cases older kids and adults. Putting a spanking on someone twice your age gives you kind of a thrill. That's what I like about it and I'm 21. Parents would support it more if the kids could show them. Some parents hear "gun" or "marker?" they ask and when told they hear "gun". This causes parents to be a little iffy, but they never saw a game in action. Just have a visual picture of kids playing guns in the woods. That's the mental picture of a lot of people who have heard of paintball, but never actually took the time to find out what it was. You have to see it to understand it and in some cases you have to play. I hear paintball is going over badly in canada. I feel for you, but it's our own fault. Show people what is going on. Show them warpig, after all it is the world and regional paintball information guide! They have chosen to inform people about paintball. Invite friends and family to tournament or rec games. Most fields have somewhere for spectators around the speedball coarses.
Anyone else heard the rumors about Fox Network wanting to follow a team to the spyder cup! That would be great if they actually do it.

I know it might be interesting to watch it. But do you think it would be that way to other people? It could develop more people into the sport but I dont think the show would last long. Come on the game isnt supposed to be wtached its supposed to be played. Am I right?
A damn fool

people who arent into the sport wouldnt like it. What i dont understand is why paintball manufacutrures dont advertise on tv? I would be nice to have some comercials with intense paintball scenes in them, jst short things to get people interested, not bored with an entire show, and then supplies could sell theyre stuff, and people would become interested, buy stuff, and play. Thats the way to start, have paintball supliers advertice on tv, then when people become acustomed to it, start the tv shows.

That's a good idea. I think working it in would be better than just saying, "next week the paint season starts", but I still would like to see it. I think it would go over better than xfl. It's a brand new thing, and I think it would be more exciting to watch than football. You see, the problem is, I don't think I feel the same as most people on this subject. Ever since I started playing paint, I've wanted to see it played. I like watching almost half as much as I like playing. I love to watch it. I get into watching two teams battle for control, seeing someone who's about to make a mistake and then do it and the other guy capitalizes on it, that sh*ts funny. That's just me though. I got into watching paintball when I was the guy being tagged every game in the first minute. I had nothing better to do than to sit on the sidelines and watch and learn. They don't let no one back in at the field I play on. If you get tagged you go sit till next game! This encourages people to try harder.

i know i'd watch it but before i was interested in paintball i probly woulda clicked right over it when i watched it for 3 seconds and saw a guy sitting behind a bunker and not see the strategy or the paint flying. its sad but true.
