About the Competition
While US Paintball has the likes of Keely Watson, Lisa Harvey and Michelle Chavez to represent the sport, girls on this side of the pond have been less visible. Combat Games, the UK paintball news provider, has teamed up with some of the biggest names in the industry to find these girls and bring them into the spot light.
Paintball is one of the fastest growing sports in the UK, with thousands of participants heading out every weekend to battle. Far from being the preserve of corporate team building, the sport has developed a unique culture and regular following. With over 300 paintball sites now open in the UK and the formation of professional UK paintball teams, such as Nexus, the support for this sport shows no signs of diminishing.
The development of professional paintball in the US gives some indications where the UK scene is heading. It is only a matter of time before UK paintball receives the same recognition. With this competition we decided to help promote the sport by highlight some of the up and coming female stars of UK paintball.
Judges
A panel of industry experts has been assembled to judge this competition. Combat Games wishes to send our sincere thanks to all the following, who have donated their time for this event.
