Special Ops Paintball announced today that the Special Ops Brigade, their online community of paintball players, reached a landmark 100,000 members. Spanning the entire United States and more than 70 countries worldwide, the Special Ops Brigade is the largest organization of its kind in the paintball industry.

Described as the ‘MySpace of Paintball’, the Special Ops Brigade is a revolutionary online community that players join at no cost. Through the Brigade, members access a personal web page, where they can upload photos, log their game play, and earn rewards for free gear and discounts on merchandise. Players earn points towards rank by playing paintball,
logging their stats, and sharing information. Other Brigade features allow players to share ideas, and to organize informal games through Game Locator.

“With the Brigade, we have created the coolest free thing in paintball, period,” said Chris Serfustini, Director of Public Relations for Special Ops Paintball. “I would have killed for something like this 20 years ago when I started playing. Today, the internet makes it possible to connect over 100,000 paintball players across the world, where they can share game experiences, playing tips, and, most importantly their love of the sport.”

“Unlike most sports, in paintball it’s ‘the more the merrier,’” quips Special Ops Co-Founder Jayson Orvis. “My favorite form of play is to grab my gear bag and drop by one of the Game Locator games going on all over Salt Lake City on any given Saturday. This easy-going and informal side of the sport harkens back to the early days when I played as a kid. The Brigade really puts the fun back into the sport by turning the reins over to the players who really know how to have a good time (and not take it too seriously!)”

The Special Ops Brigade benefits members by allowing them to:

*Organize games through Game Locator. During the prime paintball season, there are over 400 Game Locator games going on all over the U.S. and Canada. Currently, over 11,000 Game Locator games have been played. This is, without a doubt, the best way to organize a game or to simply jump in and play

* Create an online personality. Brigade members start by creating a Brigade account, where they build a personal profile that includes their location, specialties, interests, and more.

* Meet other players. Players can invite and connect with buddies, as well as search for members based on profile information to find new friends within the sport.

* Win free stuff and incredible paintball play opportunities. The higher the player’s rank, the better the benefits including free stuff from the Special Ops store as well as amazing paintball opportunities such as invitational events like the Special Ops Elite Weekends.

* Log their experiences online. Players can create a play log to keep track of their game experience; stats and graphs let them chart their progress.

* Discover what’s new. Through the forum and email, players learn about exciting new gear, events, games and strategies.

* Be heard. Players can post opinions, questions, and advice in community-wide discussion forums.
