Tippmann Sports LLC and Shoreline Events Ltd are excited to announce the launch of
The Tippmann Challenge UK

The 4th leg of the Super6 series.

In 2010, The Tippmann Challenge UK broke the British record as the biggest brand new paintball game in the UK. No other game had come from a standing start to over 400 players before. This year, we've put the event on steroids!

Our aim for the 2011 Super6/4: Tippmann Challenge UK is no less than to offer the UK's best event of 2011. The Tippmann Challenge will offer players more value, more quality, more activities, more game time, more competitions and more prizes than any other event in Britain this year.

The Super6 events to date have set a new bench mark for Big Games in the UK, the Tippmann Challenge UK will be raising the bar far far higher.

Here's what we've got in store:

"We're very very excited about the Tippmann Challenge UK this year. Last year was a great start for a new event, but the sheer scale of the plans for this year look enormous. Tippmann will be pouring a massive effort into this event to make it one of the premier events in Europe this year."
Paul Banks, Tippmann Sports

"The Tippmann Challenge UK is looking like it'll be the biggest show that Shoreline have ever put on. We're literally throwing the kitchen sink at this event to ensure that the players get more value and more quality that they've ever had before. Super6 has set the bar high, but we'll be aiming at nothing less than a significant raising of that bar to produce an event that'll put the UK Big Game scene firmly into the top of the world standings for quality and value for money. The next few months are going to be quite a ride!"
Tim Barnett, Shoreline Events Ltd
