What format was your tourney? Sup-air?
Dont know if you have a paintball club at your uni but there is a paintball sup-air style league (cup) and day-long championship. The championship was first run last year with Birmingham uni winning, this year the cup was won by Coventry Uni (the final against Birmingham was fab). The next Cup is at Keele on saturday (17th March) - sorry i think the entries are already in.
The information is on the UKPSF website (google UKPSF university and you can find the forums). If you're into paintball competitions and interested in competing against other uni's i'd recommend it.
Site wise this year D7s (Dartford) and Snetterton were used, and the universities involved were (i think) uea, aberdeen, aberwistwith (sorry can't spell), birmingham, coventry, teeside, and another one that i can't think of.

Next year there is talk of having 'starter events' for uni clubs to be able to break into the scene - but i'm unsure.

Sorry if this is nothing to the sort of thing you were interested in, but i've had a great season 'pot b*tching'/'pit crew managing' for my old uni (Birmingham) - unforunatly i can't play competition as my uni doesn't compete :-s (still i get to play rec-ball and a bit of tourney style). Thoroughly recommend it though :-)


Have you ever tried re-ball? It's paintball using paintball markers and reusable balls (you can also get velcro ones), supposed to be fun, and i can't wait to have a go!
