Singapore’s first official paintball tournament, the Singapore
Paintball Novice Series (SPNS) 2008 will be held in the island state’s
largest and newest paintball arena, Red Dynasty Paintball Park on 30
March 2008.
This three-on-three tournament will be open for
registration to all people residing in Singapore. “The aim of this
tournament is to create paintball awareness in Singapore and to allow
more people to take up this activity as a lifestyle sport” states Jane
Koh, who is the President of the Paintball Association (Singapore) and
the Singapore representative in the Paintball Asia League Series (PALS)
which organized the World Cup Asia 2007. As the tournament director,
she points out that paintball is not only an exhilarating sport to
play; it is also one which is exciting to watch.
This tournament
will create an opportunity for like-minded people to come together and
pit their paintball skills against each other, thus increasing the
community of paintball players in Singapore. The tournament has an
expected turn out of twenty teams.
Ben Seow otherwise known as
“King” within the paintball community is a member of the Singapore’s
First Paintball Team, believes that this tournament will allow
Singaporeans to experience playing paintball in a competition format
which will help people to understand more about the sport. He believes
that it will also allow the paintball standards in Singapore to improve
and grow. With more than two hundred paintball teams in Malaysia, he
hopes to see more paintball teams carrying the Singapore flag when
participating in regional paintball tournaments.

be a three leg series which will be organized in the months of March,
June and September (dates to be confirmed) in 2008. Teams can either
choose to play in any leg or commit themselves to the entire series in
