This summer has been a hot one, and even when the temperatures rose to near triple digits (Fahrenheit) and the humidity hovers at 100%, people are still hitting the fields to play paintball, and so am I. It's was this big... honest !!! My summer started with one of my favorite paintball experiences each year, the Line-of-Fire Celebrity Paintball Camp .  This year they decided to focus on the growing interest in scenario paintball, so they asked me to come coach a three-day scenario paintball skills camp.  I brought games designed to teach everything from first ball accuracy to field awareness to formulating then executing a plan of attack.  We ran drills, missions, and simulations of common game situations, and when the heat got to be too much, the field owners cooled everyone off with slices of ice-cold watermelon and freeze pops.  We capped off the experience with an awards banquet where I got a chance to speak about the amazing progress each student ha...

At Planet Eclipse we've been working super hard to support as many of our players and teams as possible, regardless of where in the world you play. We're proud to have a global tech team that is there for you, no matter how small the problem may be to keep you and your team running like clockwork. 2014 has been a strong year for our teams all over the world and this year we've managed to have a consistent support crew at the CXBL. Running the full XBall format means players and gear takes some serious abuse and needs to work flawlessly, all of the time, so our guys have been there to make sure it did just that. For those who we've worked with this year, it's been a blast, which is why we're committing to another full CXBL season in 2015. Let's do this! http://xball.com/

For those who don't know the story behind this beauty, we auctioned off our very last GSL in all its pure, naked and untouched glory, with two agreements in place. Firstly, the winning bidder could submit whatever design and colour options they wanted, as long as it was achievable, and they would then work with our design and printing team to create their dream GSL. Secondly, we would donate a chunk of the money to a charity of the winning bidder's choice. What you see below is the outcome and all the guys involved with the project, especially its new owner, are all super pleased with the results. Thanks again to all those involved in making this a very special GSL. http://www.mercuryone.org/
