He is accompanied by an amazing pair of masterminds in Travis “Sparks” Bonner and Tyler Albright, who both have the creative spirit, love of the game and a true enthusiasm for creating scenario events. Pittsburgh, PA is where the magic was first created and has now stretched to the Midwest. They have been producing paintball events for 14 years and show no signs of stopping. This unique game style has become a sought after treat for all who experience it, one that they cannot stop talking about. They have their own following, players that would travel across the country and possibly beyond to play their games. With extensive storylines, advanced field mapping, props true to the story itself, the constant in-your-face battle and real time and player-provided feedback that is closely monitored, they are forever enhancing each experience for the player! The Mission Masters brand speaks for itself, all anyone One exciting hope of playing some of your favorite fields is the chance to experience the entire field and Mission Masters provides this opportunity. The MM team travels to perspective fields months before the game begins, to map the field, not only using the field owners’ maps, but by walking the field and using GPS locating on each of the fields’ attractions/buildings. This provides accurate distances between spawn points and main missions. Equal distances for all sides gives everyone an equal chance. They go even further, after the field has been mapped and the game has been written, just a few days before the game begins, they walk each mission using a measuring wheel. They make sure that every point is equal as possible. Another Mission Master feature that is provided out of this advanced mapping is how they use the field. What allows a player the chance to experience the entire field in just one weekend? Mission Masters sections off the field, highlighting and utilizing all of the attractions in different missions. This means that in each mission you are playing a different section of the field, effectively experiencing everything your favorite field has to offer. www.paintball.media 0101
