Well, you now know a little bit of everything you need to start and to choose how to do it, so what I’m going to do in this post is to give you a brief description on where to find the best Portugal recreational paintball games.In Portugal when you talk about big games it is unavoidable to speak o the name Paintugal, since that is the great association that organizes at least 4 big games per year, plus a woodsball tournament with limited paint rules.They organize a big game every year in September to celebrate their birthday as an association and 3 additional big games (called the Mega Campaign) that have an innovating format of 1 vs. 1 vs. 1, that’s it, 3 teams competing in the same field against each other for the same objectives and with interesting themes (this year the thematic is the matrix, humans vs. machines vs. viruses).In these games, the objective is not to go and spray paint, the games are organized with timed objectives, bases for each team, and special characters, like the team generals, the medics and the engineers and that’s what makes the game so fun, because you know that it isn’t just a bunch of people shooting at the bushes.
In the last September 18th took place in Mafra the biggest game ever made in the Iberian Peninsula, the Paintugal anniversary game “Band of Brothers” that gathered a total of 660 players from many countries, like Spain, France, U.K., and also we shall not forget that beyond those 660 there were the organization, referees, shop sellers, and the families from players.
Also as I already stated there is the Paintugal Challenge which allows 1 team of not associated members for each competition, and has 2 different set of games.
The arena which is a team versus team game and the Coquest which is like a mini big game, where all the teams compete against each other for a big amount of objectives.
In the current year they started a big beneficence action for the reforestation and a fund recollection for a handicapped people association, so in every game you participate you will be contributing to these causes.
Finally I want to state here that this blog offers full support to the Paintugal association and therefore when they organize games you may come here to know about them.
Check their website and forum for any doubts you may have.
Liked this one, seems like a good place to play, and indeed i'm going to check out that association for more information.
ReplyDeleteCaro Nuno,
ReplyDeleteÉ verdade que vocês aí em Portugal conseguiram mudar a legislação, de modo a diferenciar o paintball de armas de fogo? Aqui no Brasil aprovaram uma Portaria que torna um marcador uma coisa tão - ou mais - restrita que uma arma de fogo. Digo mais restrita porque pela classificação atual, o que importa é o calibre, independentemente da energia produzida pelo disparo. Assim, um marcador é classificado como arma de uso restrito.
Desde já agradeço a atenção.
Hugo
Hugo em Portugal realmente conseguimos realmente marca essa diferença, mas no entanto a lei diz que todos os marcadores que se pareçam com armas reais tem que ser pintados numa grande área com amarelo ou vermelho fluorescente o que está a causar uma pequena baixa na procura de marcadores do tipo MILSIM. Aqui também a lei põe limites á força da bola á saida do marcador.
