Announced: JT Splatmaster Tournament is coming to Chicago(land!) PSP Chicago, June 2013!

Fresh from JT Splatmaster... they're starting a way to introduce newcomers to league play and competition!

(my original review here: http://foamfromabove.blogspot.com/2012/10/review-jt-splatmaster-z100-z200-and.html)  I was a fan of it then, and am still a fan of it now.  Between the accuracy and the comfortable feel of the Splatmaster line, it's a solid buy if you've been thinking about it.  It's nowhere near as painful as paintball (due to the decreased fps) but tons of fun at closer ranges than you might expect with paintball.

All the rules and regs are listed here:
http://empirepaintball.com/jt-first-shot/. More, after the break.




Players must NOT have any tournament experience!

So there you go.  If you're an adult and not quite sure how you like regular paintball (like many of my friends), a parent with a 13+ child and looking for a fun activity to get into together, or just looking to introduce yourself to the sport or try something new, this might be the way to go!

Nevermind that CPX is known worldwide as one of the best fields in the nation (if not the world) but just to get out there and try something new.  

I do love Nerf and everything that goes along with it, but I also keep an open mind.  I'll be checking this out, and hope to see you on the field.
