Jack found this on a paintball forum posted up by ‘nostayhome’ and wanted to share with everyone. These are pics of his sons Halloween outfit….. Nice Work !!!

I would like to think that everyone that works at Planet Eclipse loves the company (I could be slightly deluded) and we know and love that fact that we have Eclipse Fans around the world. Some people are happy just being fans, some go the extra mile. At Campaign cup this year I was confronted with this bunch of… well… fans……. If you have any weird and wonderful Planet Eclipse stuff going on or know of anyone that goes that extra mile then send in your images. I tell you what, let’s make this a little more interesting. Lets run a competition every couple of months (don’t bother holding me to every 60 days) where the best photo of someone ‘reppin’ Eclipse in a cool way will win a prize. Depending on what they do will depend on their prize…. Impress me and the prize will get better!! It can be anything so use your imagination! Get Eclipse stickers on some super stars, tattoo’s, crop circles, even risky stuff will be very well excepted… Whatever your weird and wonderful minds come up with

Every now and again we get an e-mail that makes us smile. Some weird, some wonderful and some well, not publishable.. Here is one that we received recently: I am a Police Officer in California and I play on a Police & Fire Paintball Team called 187. We have three (3) 5-Man Teams that compete in the Western States Police & Fire Games. I just wanted to share my story with you about our experience with Planet Eclipse markers and products. In July of 2009 our team was shooting a variety of different markers. Later that month we competed in the Western States Police & Fire Games in Southern California. Out of of three teams, we finished with two 2nd place and one 3rd place finish. Not bad considering we were using a mix of non Planet Eclipse markers that gave us a bunch of gun problems throughout the event. In August of 2009, we took one (1) team to compete in the Police & Fire World Games in British Columbia, Canada. Prior to the event, we purchased six (6) Ego m

Congratulations to team Vicious and their coach Greg Pauley for their 2009 PSP World Cup Semi-Pro First place win!!!!

Everyone out there that has every played a tournament knows the amount of weight and pressure Sunday holds. This morning, Vicious took on Aftermath II in their first of three rounds in the finals of the 2009 PSP World Cup. With the cup in striking distance Vicious came on stronger than ever. Vicious quickly took a harsh lead over Aftermath with a score of 6 - 1, but Aftermath returned the push and evened things back up with a 4 point run, making the score 6 - 5. Vicious's coach, Greg Pauley pulled the team back together for the last point, and Vicious secured their victory in the last round with a score of 7 - 5.

The E-TV crew is hard at work producing a demo with Jack Wood featuring the 50 cal ego drop in kit. It should be posted on this blog by tomorrow at the latest!! Stay tuned!!!

In their 3rd game of the semi-finals, XSV and Vicious battled it out for the right to play in the final round of World Cup. Despite the tremendous heart put forth by XSV, Vicious won with a score of 7 - 5.

XSV just took on Vicious in their 2nd match and it was a game to remember. Just like the first game, it looked like Vicious was going to run away with it, but SXV pulled it together. As Thomas Taylor lays in the pit with PSP medical staff, his team takes the field for the last point of the game. On the verge of heat stroke, Taylor musters as much air as he can and screams,"WIN!!!" XSV went on to win the last point of the game and is now one game of way from making it to the finals.

This morning at 8:50am, Vicious and XSV went head to head in their first of three rounds in the semi-finals of the PSP 2009 World Cup. Vicious came on incredibly strong and scored seven straight points. XSV will have to beat Vicious the next two games if they want to make it to Sunday. But... Remember what happened at the last event... Vicious Smashed XSV in the Prelims 7 - 0 and then Vicious returned the favor in the next round handing it to them 7 - 0 and getting sweet revenge... What's going to happen this time??? 12:00pm is high noon and time to separate the men from the boys!!!

After a bumpy start, the Sand Baggers have made it through to the next round!!! Unfortunately due to PE booth demands, the team will be forfeiting their spot on the field to support all our fan's tech and merchandise desires. -natalie

X-Factor's first game of the quarter finals was a very intense back and forth game against Red Legion. In the end the Russian's pulled off the win with a 7 to 6 victory over X-Factor.

Its getting hotter here, I think the heat has gotten to me as this is an offer not to be missed. At the World Cup, Team Edition Markers and Flag Edition Markers are $1095.

YES A FREE GEO WORTH $995....... There are ONLY 1 of each EGO9 in this offer (1 x Stars and Stripes = American National Anthem and 1 x Union Jack = British National Anthem).

Two of Planet Eclipse's top teams went head to head today for their first of four prelim games. In their race to 7, Chicago Aftershock and the Hurricanes battled it out in their fight to make the semifinals. Aftershock started out strong with two points, but their momentum was challenged with 6 straight Hurricane wins. On the verge of defeat, Aftershock managed to pull it back together and almost tied up the score at 5 to 6 with 3 minutes left on the clock. Despite strong Aftershock team moral, the Hurricanes were the first to see 7. Frank Connell of the Hurricanes stated, "The game was evenly matched. We controlled the snake side by eliminating the snake corner 70% of the time allowing Billy to work his magic in the snake" This was the first game Frank "The Tank" Connell has played with the Hurricanes. With his addition to the team, we can expect to see a lot from the Hurricanes at World Cup and the upcoming season. After not winning a single game in C

Brad who has not played competitively since 2004 has been seen training with his old teams mates and rumour has it his nickname ‘Beastman’ is still quite apt. All he has to do now is drag 4 or 5 drunker Operation Sandbaggers out of a bar in time for the first game. Welcome Back Brad and Welcome to the Team.. Strap in Pal, it’s going to be a ride !!!!
