Getting support from local paintballers PDF Print E-mail

I spent some time over the weekend trying to garner support from the Singapore paintball community to make some noise on an STB (Singapore Tourism Board) initiated site looking for future tourism ideas. I also launched a new Singapore Paintball Community Facebook group to try and get a better idea just how many people play and support paintball in Singapore. Now the success of my little campaign assumes that 1. paintballers give a shit about their sport   2. they have online access   3. they are linked in to me via facebook or the weplaypaintball website. Support of the little note I left on the Tourism Compass 2020 website has been pathetic probably because this actually involves 5 mins of time to register and submit votes... the Facebook group has been more active but of course this involves less online effort... one thing I haven't seen is paintballers actively jumping to aid me in my little campaign and promoting to their own friends the STB link or the Facebook group... maybe I'm jumping the gun and it's going to take some time for the message to filter out to everyone?

In any case it is this lack of community spirit that is one of the major hurdles Singapore paintballers have to overcome! There is strength in numbers and if the common goal is the support of paintball then there should not be any reason for paintballers not to get involved?

 

Well here was my message last weekend - if you haven't already got involved - take 5 minutes out of your day to show your support...

Fellow paintballers and supporters... I have just added a note on a Singapore Tourism Board site looking for ideas to boost Singapore Tourism. I know it may be trivial but we need to start somewhere... please register on this site and go to the contributions page - find my note which starts with " Sports Tourism...", click on the note and click 'like the idea' and add comments if you want to... Hopefully if we get enough people showing their support STB may just take a closer look at the possibilities paintball tourism can provide.

It's Sunday Night 11pm we only have 37 votes so far? It will be a sad day when paintball is out-voted by someone who put forward a suggestion to hold an annual Cos-play festival or by the economic genius who suggests we should devalue the Singapore dollar for the good of tourism??? Come on and get involved in supporting the sport you love...


And while you're online add yourself to the Singapore Paintball Community Facebook group we've just started:

CHAMPIONS MPOC LEG 1 - Division 3 PDF Print E-mail

Yes we've finally done it. The Damnation senior squad who now go by the name ZOO, set one goal for MPOC leg 1 and that was to come away with the top prize. We struggled last year in Division 3 trying to find a consistent and well balanced team, as well as still learning how to play tournament paintball and to play as a team. With constant line-up changes, the best result we achieved was a 6th place and that was with a lot of help from our Coach Agam. Things finally came together by mid 2009 with a 2nd place podium finish at MPOC Leg 5. We followed this up by winning the Best of Nation (Singapore) award at WCA for a less than satisfactory Top 16 placing in Division 3. With many of the 2 to 3 year veterans of Division 3 moving up to Division 2 in 2010, we had hoped to fair better this season given our current form. I will admit that without a few of the regular Division 3 teams in attendance at Leg 1, our goal was made a little more reachable but by no means were games any easier with the new ramping modes being allowed. This evened up the laning abilities of many Div 3 newcomers and gave them a lot more fire power at their fingertips. With only 2 losses the entire weekend, ZOO stormed our way into the quarters, semis and finals, not dropping a game and ending our last game in less than a minute to become MPOC Leg 1 Division 3 CHAMPIONS.

We couldn't have come this far without the support of many local and international players, shops and fields. You all know who you are so many thanks to all of you who have helped us along the way. This one was for all of you!!!
