So if you had 1 event to go to for paintball in the USA, where would it be?

I am looking at taking a paintball vacation next year -- So I turn to you all in terms of what is the best event to attend as a spectator. What I am looking for is some high quality paintballing (not neccessarily pro) and a great trade show / vendor stands...

Any thoughts?

Post away as to what you would do for a 4 day vacation with that in mind.

When i went to the World cup last year i had a blast, lots of vendors, plenty of pro teams playing, and they were filming alot of it.

Then there is the other option, go to the DDAY scenario (what i would do)

well if your not necessarily looking at playing yourself, unless you have a team together, PSP World Cup in Orlando, FL is the best bet. ALOT of vendors, killer deals, and hardcore playing. Also, its close to Walt Disney World, so you can have a blast there.

I wouldnt count on having a blast there, My experiances with Disney world outside the Wide world of sports have been dismal and dull. Universal Islands of Adventure is where its at.

Hunington Beach or Comanders cup

NPPL ALWAYS has more vendors then PSP. But PSP has X-ball and NXL...

If i was you, i'd go to Florida 2x and see both

If you want to play and are not doing the whole tourny scene, check out the spring Castle Conquest at EMR. Usually around 800+ players. Large mix of tourny and woods guys. Pure paintball insanity.

NPPL is bigger and more spectator friendly--coming from someone who has been to PSP and a NPPL events.

I'd say Commander's Cup.

-More tension
-More Booths
-More Unrealsed stuff coming out
-NPPL
