I think the most important thing to keep in mind is your perspective on the game. You have to be able to have fun without having all your expenses covered. I am not going to say that you shouldn't think about tournaments and want to live the dream.
However, you have to earn it. Don't ask for sponsorhips.
If you have no faith in your ability to be seen and sought after by companies wanting to support your team to some extent, then you have a bigger problem. Chances are that it is your conscience telling you the truth, you aren't worthy of sponsorship and you have more work to do. Focus on improving yourself. In reality, you don't have to have tournaments to get better. That is one thing that bothers me. Get physically transcendant, learn to move. I don't care who you are or how big of a stud you are at rolling your gun...a guy that has superior physical ability to move as he pleases is going to be the most saught after icon in paintball. Study fields and angles, watch as much video as you can and learn to recognize the tendencies of pro's(strengths and weaknesses). Your physical fitness, a sharp mind, and an emotionally controlled focus is what you need, granted tournaments help you further develop those qualities. But figure out ways to do things. That is what is important, NOT SPONSORSHIPS.
I know I have rambled on, but remember one more quick thing. A sponsor who is coming to you will get you a lot more than than if you are crawling to them via resume, email...blah blah blah.
