A few of us are heading to Red Dynasty on Saturday nite to get certified to play without the sissyfied centreline in the speedball field. Below is a blurb from SPNS on the BTO.
The SPNS Basic Tournament Orientation (BTO) is designed to ensure that all participants at Red Dynasty Paintball Park are competent to play competitive paintball. The course will be conducted by the Paintball Association of Singapore (PBAS). In this course, participants will learn about paintball safety and how to handle the marker in order to ensure a safe playing environment for everyone. After the theory lesson, participants will be required to undergo a practical test. Only after passing this practical test would they be allowed to play in the SPNS and train w/o a centre line.
I think it's prolly a good idea especially for people new to the sport but I find it a little strange that it's not a requirement at any another paintball places TD used to play at. Just wondering whether foreigners who are used to playing paintball in their own respective country would bother going something like this if they wanted to take part in the SPNS.
Will this be a requirement for any tournament organised in Singapore? Will find out more on Saturday and update here.

Hi... According to: http://www.spf.gov.sg/licence/PE/Conditions/Paintball_Game_Centre.pdf
#12 - The licensee shall ensure that there is a barrier dividing the play area so that opposing players will not come into physical contact
with one another.
The Paintball Association (Singapore) has gotten permission from the Police to lift the centre line for Tournament players... The assessment of tournament players is done by the PBAS via the BTO...
Hope this clears up any questions! :)
Well every small bit helps. Getting rid of the centreline was a massive step forward.
However, I'm still curious as to why other paintball outlets allow people to play without a centreline. Crossfire at the SDC for example, allows play with no centreline.
One would think it will be more crucial for the centreline conditions be imposed on casual players who may be playing for the very first time.
Not sure what arrangement SDC has with the SPF... but TAG still has the centreline and they don't allow it to be taken away
if you guys wanna talk shop about paintball - can always add me on msn!
