This summer Team Fight Back Design packed our bags once again to go south. More specifically to Thessaloniki in Greece for Anthrax Tropical Bootcamp and Med Cup. This event is a weeklong experience of sun, beach, friends and paintball. This year it was a mixed crowd of Germans, Norwegians, Netherlands, Bulgarians, American, Malaysian Turkish and Greek players. From Tuesday to Friday, we lived in bungalows at the beach. We could choose between the different activities and there was something for everyone. Don’t let the term Boot Camp scare you. Most of the classes this year was theoretical or low physical intensity so we would be well rested and prepared for the tournament. The classes were a variety of fitness, nutrition and stretching, combined with some relaxing yoga and workshops for improving your everyday physical condition. There were something for everyone, not just paintball players. Inspiring professional trainers taught every class. There were also some cool ...

The Turks have been around for years, I mean YEARS !! Forming in 1987. When Supair took over the scene the Turk sort of went into hibernation until the woodland scene started up again. The Turks were a force to be reckoned with in the early days winning several big titles including Mayhem Master in 1992 and 3 Campaign Cup titles in 1991, 1992 and 1994 and staying at the top of there game for many years with their 'Unique' brand of Paintball. If you know them, you know.... Lets just say that they are called the Turks because they all used to drink in a pub called the Turks Head ! Anyway... Enough of that. We intercepted an internal team message that made us smile so we thought we would share with the World. This is a breakdown of the Turks (antics) at round 3 of the UK's Woodland Pro Tour: Enjoy. Written by: Ollie Widdowson So in lieu of Mel’s usual next day debrief I have volunteered to write up this little report as to yesterday’s activities and I’ve been ...

The Mech revival has certainly taken hold in the United States but not so much in the UK. Why is that? Is the Mech scene in the UK too small to ping on the radar? Are players scared to get back out and play again? Are the current crop of Mech players old and grumpy? Is there nothing for the Mech guys to get there teeth into? If you’re in the UK and fancy playing a Mech event (or Electro’s capped at 5.5bps) then here is your chance. Played in the Woods and the  EPIC  Hyperball field at Skirmish Nottingham. If you want to get involved with a team or even on your own then email: mechmarkers@hotmail.com What you waiting for???

We love a good story... Who doesn't?!?!? When it involves some old school ballers getting back into the game after hanging up their cleats a few years ago, and now find themselves back in love with Paintball, and also happen to be kicking some ass while using only Planet Eclipse markers.... Well... We love it even more :-) "DeMarco Photography”  That's the story of  'The Chain Gang' three ex NPPL/NXL players coming back for more. All over 35 years old and they took 2nd place at the 2nd leg of the Seeds 3-man event putting them into 2nd place in the season standings and teaching the new dogs some old tricks along the way we are sure :-) https://www.seedsseriespaintball.com/ They are already booked into the Iron City Classic in August....Good Luck guys and we are glad your back on the scene and shooting Eclipse :-) "DeMarco Photography”  https://www.seedsseriespaintball.com/ Huge thanks to  "DeMarco Photography” for the Picture...

2ND EVENT PORTUGUESE NATIONAL CHAMPINSHIP 19/20 TH May 2018 https://www.facebook.com/Beira-Mar-Paintball-Team-464070616999868/ The second event of the national championship was very important for us.  Beira Mar were currently in first place in Spain and we wanted the same result in Portugal as well ! The first game of the prelims with Benfica was a close match which could have ended up in a win . However, an insignificant mistake by itself snowballed into a grave drawback. Losing by 1 point with only 13 seconds of play, risked it and suffered a penalty, finishing the game 2-4. Benfica wins. After talking about the previous game we faced Nest Paintball. It all went as expected: we were able to win our fights and keep control, the result ended 5-1. Next up Estoril. The game was even more relaxed, maintaining calm and communication. We won 4-0 The semi finals against Sporting CP was of particular importance since they are the defending champions and a team...
