Welcome Paintball Fans. Each year paintball grows in popularity and with it, the evolution of college play. At the Draxxus 2003 International Amateur Open (IAO), eight college teams competed in a first-ever fully sponsored event. An Arenaball Cage and Referees (Brimstone Smoke) were provided by Brimstone Enterprises and seventy-five cases of paint were provided to CollegePaintball.com by Nitro Duck. College Paintball is truly growing. The 2003 IAO was glimpse of the future. College Paintball's current goal is to establish a conference in the North East. Unfortunately, Brimstone Enterprises and Paintball News cannot afford to promote college paintball as they originally desired. When a solid promotional base is established, college paintball will be ready. Special Note While NCPA insignia was prominently displayed by NCPA representatives at our 2003 IAO College Paintball Showcase, College Paintball and CollegePaintball.com are not affiliated with the NCPA. The NCPA did not sponsor this College Paintball event. July 8, 2003 College Paintball & Nitro Duck Ready 75 Cases of Paint for Delivery Nitro Duck will deliver 75 cases of paint to the International Amateur Open (IAO) play site this week in anticipation for College Paintball's showcase events. The paint will be safely stored on location until the start events on Friday, July 18th. "After testing the samples (paintballs), there was no doubt that College Paintball would say "yes" to Nitro Duck sponsorship at the IAO." - Jason T. Black © Copyright 2004 FlagRunner, Inc.
