Paintball Teams

[Toad]

I know we are talking about becoming a more organized team with membership requirements and all that jazz a while back. What if we get some sponsors to make the "new team" has benefits? Check it out: Pinnacle Paintball

Copied from the link

This is what we can offer teams for sponsorship:

10% all regular priced items from our site, or booth at events
Waive all Special Order fees
Free test gear, with the expectation that testers will give us feedback for the store
Free tech for markers, just pay shipping
Subsidized paint when attending sponsored events
Wholesale (+ fees) pricing on team/bulk orders
Display space in our booth at events (for used marker sales, Team banners, etc!)



What we expect from our sponsored Teams:


Play with sportsmanship and honour, promoting fun safe play of any format
Assistance with promoting and growing our business through word-of-mouth and social media
Assistance with promoting sponsored events
Occasional assistance with setting up/running/officiating special events when the team is attending



If you run a pump team and would like to ask about sponsorship please contact us at info@pinnaclepaintballsupply.com

I would proudly wear a pinnacle patch anytime. Dave is a friend and a good guy.

I would to but don't need or want the sponsorship really...

We already pretty much do what is asked. But do it out of love of the sport and the fun of it.

I won't stand in the way though.

Love pinnacle!

Love pinnacle!

this is kind of how I feel I guess. If Dave is cool with sending us patches I would stick one on a jersey. I would also hang a banner at OXP.

Hi All, just curious why no one from Featuring Death has asked O.P.S. for sponsorship....

I know it's not my place to ask, maybe talk to CJ, MAr or Stilgar?

1) O.P.S. is great!

2) FD began more as a group of friends who enjoyed a similar play style. We never really thought of ourselves strictly as a 'Team' in the sense that 'Teams' usually enter some form of competitions (tourney's ect...) with the intent to win agains other 'Teams'

FD was more about friendly competition, playing hard but ensuring that FUN was paramount to anything else.

3) This may be my personal opinion, and the others in FD are certainly entitled to form their own, but Sponsorship in my mind usually comes with some form of responsibility attached. Not that responsibility is bad...however when I am playing for fun, I don't want to feel like I have to also 'work' at the same time.

For example, I often get asked advice at the field. Most of the time its little stuff like "where did you get that item X?" I always like to give the person an honest answer that is accompanied with a number of options for a)the item in question and b) where said item can be procured. I do this because maybe the item I have is not exactly what the other person wants and maybe where I got it from may not work for that person.

I don't want to feel I have to limit my answers to those places where I may have a sponsorship to. This might seem kind of silly but it is true. Paintball is my passion/happy place/stress outlet...whatever...I don't really want to change that.

3) Again this might be personal to me, but I already promote most of the places I might even be elegible for a sponsorship on my own. I do it happily because I want to. I have no insentive and recieve no gain from it and really I don't want that insentive.


Does any of this ramble make sense to anyone other than me? I don't know.


4) As MAr stated above, if a Store that I like, use and respect wanted to give FD a banner to hang at the field or if we go someplace... well I would have no problem with showing support like that.

Hey Pat, thank you for your oppinions and feelings on sponsorship. O.P.S. will alway's be here to help serve our friends from Featuring Death and OXP and if there's anything we can do and we're able, we'd be happy to help. Hope to see you all on the field in the near future.

Cheers,
Bryan

No worries!

What I really want to know is more info on this rumored big pump event you may be having this season?
