PAINTBALL PENETRATES THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA

We are very proud to announce to all the official formation of PALS China which consists of Mr. Michael Tan and Mr. Michael Whybrew, and the establishment of the China Cup as the 1st leg of PALS 2011 in Hainan, China.

As of now (Aug 2010), the China Cup is set for the 24th – 27th March 2011.

We would like to commend PALS China for their achievement in getting the go-ahead from the strict authorities of China to carry out this historic event for the most populated country in the world.

China, with its population of 1.3 billion, is the largest untapped market in Asia, making up a good one-third of the Asian population. PALS China will be bringing paintball to a mind-boggling number of people, in a country famous for executing events on a grand and massive scale.

We sincerely do believe that this entry into China will bring about significant opportunities for both the global paintball industry and have significant impact for the recognition of paintball as a mainstream sport.

PALS, together with all her partners within the Asia Pacific region, and from Europe and US, will be doing their utmost to ensure the success of the event.

We would like to call upon all players and teams in and outside the region to do their part to support this momentous occasion.

Pending the release of official information, those who would like to obtain more info about the event can get in touch with us, and we will keep them updated with information as it is obtained.

Congratulations to the two Mikes of China, and major kudos from the rest of us.

Sincerely,
PAUL WY LAM
Founder,
Paintball Asia League Series (PALS)

Hundreds of paintballers will be gathered at Padang Merbok all this weekend to continue their fight to emerge as the champions of the Malaysian Paintball Official Circuit (MPOC) 2010 season, held annually by the Paintball Asia League Series (PALS).

With a total of four divisions, there’s a spot for everyone, from the pros in Division 1 to the beginners and rookies in Division 4.

Over 40 teams will be competing this weekend, including local favourites such as team Xfox, Xtioneers, Demonz Red, Dark Angels, and Kejahatan, media teams from Malay Mail and 8TV Quickies, and regional teams such as Australians Perth City Trauma, and Singaporean Red Sevens.

Fans of celebrity host Henry Golding will be delighted to know that he will be playing in the 8TV Quickies team.

This weekend’s tournament is the fourth instalment in the local paintball league, which has a total of five legs held throughout the year. Usually held in Xtion Paintball Park, Bukit Jalil, this will be the first time in two years that the league has been taken elsewhere.

“We’ve received a lot of feedback from players about wanting to try out new fields,” says Allan Phang, Assistant Tournament Director of PALS, “and since Xtion Paintball Park is now under renovation and DBKL has been kind enough to help us with Padang Merbok, we thought this was a perfect opportunity, especially with our new Sup’Air arenas.”

Sup’Air, based in Europe, is known to make the best speedball fields in the world, and Sup’Air arenas are completely inflatable, self-supporting structures, negating the need for the usual metal poles.

The MPOC will be the first ever tournament in Asia to use these arenas, which will also be used for the paintball World Cup Asia in November.

Simon Fournier, of the R&D team for Sup’Air (Europe).

“Our Sup’Air arenas are very structurally safe, and have been used for years for the Millennium Series in Europe,” says Simon Fournier of Sup’Air. “We’re very happy to have tied up exclusively with PALS to bring the best in paintball arenas to Asia.”

Fournier, as part of the research and development team for Sup’Air, is here in Kuala Lumpur to assist PALS in setting up the arenas for this weekend. Paintball field operators who are eager to learn more about Sup’Air fields will be delighted to know that Fournier will be holding an open tech session at the MPOC on Sunday at 1pm.

This leg will also feature the introduction of sports radars for the marshals to use in-field to ensure that all markers are shooting within the regulated speeds of 300 feet per second for all games.

The tournament village is open to public, and visitors can purchase tags which allow them into the player’s areas to mingle with their favourite paintballers. Visitor tags are priced at RM20 and valid for both days.

Dear teams, players, sponsors, friends, guests ….

After the great success of Lviv event (the pictures will be posted shortly), Vienna event organizers try to keep the high organization level and offer you even more surprises then it was last year!

…Without the flood and T-storm this time

In the Austrian Department on the Grand Tour web-site you will find all the information about the location and the recommended hotels.

And remember, if you have any questions you are welcome to ask me!

WELCOME to Vienna!

DYE Precision Ltd. announced today that their UK headquarters were broken into and resulted in the theft of over 150 high-end, tournament grade paintball markers.  Most of the paintball guns stolen were NT’s and DM10′s.  The police have been called and a full investigation is underway.

At this point in time, we are confident that the stolen merchandise will start to show up and be available for sale online, at local paintball sites, etc.  These guns, not purchased through authorized dealers, are stolen property and serial numbers have been flagged as such.
If you do come across DYE or Proto guns from an unauthorized source in a deal that seems too good to be true, please call DYE Europe’s home office at +44 (0) 208 649 6330 and speak with our management team for instructions on how to proceed.  You can speak with either Ellcie Conway at extension 203 or Jeff Abbott at extension 211.  A list of serial numbers and gun descriptions will be circulated online and shortly and available on our website http://shop.dyepaintball.com/eu_gb/intro/.
In this small, tight-knit industry, we call upon our customers, friends, industry colleagues, and all players to keep their eyes and ears open and send any leads or information you have to DYE Europe.  All information will be treated in the strictest confidence and if it proves to be key in finding the goods and those that stole the items, you will be rewarded appropriately.
We thank you for your cooperation and understanding at this time.
