Black Watch Refereeing the 2008 Season!!
As a team we have decided to take the 2008 paintball season and give back to the sport we love by refereeing most of the games we will attend. For all of Viper Paintball games at our home field in Mt. Pleasant as well as all of Mad Ivan Paintball games we will provide referee staffing. There will be other promoters / events we will vollunteer for as well. This is a team decision in an attempt to say thank-you to the sport, the players, the promoters and the fields that have given us soo much over the last few years. There are a few exceptions to this in order to fulfill prior committments to promoters and organizers. Plus we gotta have a game or two to have SOME fun!! The Schedule page will be updated ASAP.
Black Watch Scenario Paintball Team
Recently Formed, But With HISTORY:
July 22, 2008. Though our NAME is new, we have a history with scenario paintball. We officially formed July 22, 2007. Most of our members came from another team: the Texas Death Dealers. Our event records came with us. Some of our awards are shared with the Texas Death Dealers because that's who we were with. Some on the team are the original founding members of the A5OG's Southwest Regulators as well. While we may not be the oldest name in scenario paintball by any means, we are also not newbs to the sport either. See our HISTORY page to see where we come from, our VALUES page to see what we believe, our AWARDS page to see what we have accomplished and our TEAM page to see who we are.
