ProPaintball.com in 2009 e considerat cea mai buna pagina te internet in domeniul paintball. Aici cred ca trebuie sa mentin ca se vede mentalitatea occidentala, kreativitatea si dorinta dea fi mai bun si unic parallel cu aceasta observatie observ ca la noi in tara e mult mai interesant daca uni lucreaza si alti o copieaza, din pacate e o “competitie” care nu se duce nicaieri…
Evenimentul anului peste tot unde te uiti vezi ca multe terenuri si magazine se inchid, dau faliment dar nu si la PSP – cum zic ei We are the world cu peste 300 de echipe se dau meciuri mari si nasc adevarate nume de jucatori.
Personalitatea anului acest titlu a revenit lui Matt Marshall o adevarat personalitate a paintball-ului. Despre comentatorul american se spune daca paintballul va devein un sport de massmedie atunci acest lucru probabil se va face multumita lui Matt.
Derick Obatake cu 51 ani de a lui este cel mai bun jucator in categoria pump guns.

Justin Rabackoff, 18, of Leesburg, is off to the World Cup Oct. 24 in Orlando, Fla., but not for soccer Rabackoff is going for paintball.
He will be going to the event as captain of his X-Ball team, D.C. Nasty.
The team qualified for the World Cup through its five tournaments during a season that began in March.
In the National X-Ball League (NXL), the top 12 teams earn the honor of attending the World Cup and getting a chance to compete against players from around the world.
Rabackoff has been playing pro paintball for two years now and owes it to his father, who got him interested.
“My dad was big into paintball, so it was already in the family, and I was just sort of brought along into it,” he said. “When I lived in California, I played a lot and when I got into Virginia, my dad started my own team for me.”
That team was D.C. Devastation, a team that moved up from division three to division one before splitting off. After the split, Rabackoff was one of four players, out of the 10, who went pro.
Although Rabackoff is a pro player, he made the step down to division two when he joined D.C. Nasty because the team offered to pay him to play, just like a pro athlete in any other sport.
According to Rabackoff, playing X-Ball is similar to hockey when it comes to the rules. There are penalty boxes, a stop clock and just about everything else related to the rules of hockey.
All members of D.C. Nasty live within two hours of Taneytown, Md., where the team practices.
“There's more experienced players at that field. There's places around here but they don't have as many competitive players so we go to Taneytown to get a good competitive practice in,” Rabackoff said.
Traveling to tournaments and other paintball events means Rabackoff must also miss days at school.
“I've missed five days already and I'm missing another five for this tournament,” the Loudoun County High School senior said.
“I ask for my schoolwork before I leave so I can take it on trips with me, but I'm still getting absences through the school. I do get all my work done and I'm getting straight A's, so I can balance the two.”
When it comes to playing paintball, Rabackoff loves the thrill of winning but also loves the amount of traveling involved.
“I get to go to all of these different places around the nation. I've been everywhere and I just love traveling,” he said. “I love getting up at 4:30 a.m. and getting on a plane to go do what I love.”
On top of traveling, Rabackoff is ready to make the big bucks in the sport.
“My overall goal is to be in the top three. The top three are making six figures, so the money's there in the sport; you just have to go get it.”
