No JT, nppl prizes actually arent that good.

The biggest winnings I think was the 5 mustangs at spyder cup a year or two ago.

90% of pros do not make money playing paintball, they just play for free.

I can't wait until paintball becomes a big sport. Then the Pros can get a lot of money. Then i can turn Pro and get a lot of money.

Yeah, it's just that easy. :rolleyes:

"Hey, ballers are making money now, I'm gonna go pro."

You have to have game, and lots of it.

There were 5 mustangs won somewhere. I knew that eclipses were won at a spyder cup, but I think mustangs were too (maybe a different year or something? Hell it could have been am open...I dunno).

Screw the domestic cars, the only good ones are vipers and 'vettes, and their screwing over the new viper. It's all about the Porsche baby, and if u call that a girl car, well then I'll take my 0-60 in 3.4 secs and u can slap me around and call me Susan.

Um....Susan....let's try to stay on topic, we've closed enough friggin import/domestic cars threads.


BTW, you're right though, I just like the name Susan.

really (about the domestic/import arguments)? Neways, on the one hand, I like how paintball is currently kind the official sport of the lowlife, no offense, but I just mean that since there's no big money involved the people who play it play it because they love the sport. On the other hand, it would be nice if paintball was more widely recognized as a sport, in which case paintballers would start getting paid more and then it would eventually become like football or baseball. Oh well, hopefully paintball will retain at least some sense of love of the game no matter what.
