editorial From the Prez issue 60 11/2013 Welcome Something to Build On It’s that time of year when for much of the paintball industry and game begin to slow down a bit. Companies that geared up for the PSP World Cup are getting a quick breather before the busy Christmas season kicks into full swing. Most tournament teams are taking a month or more off before they begin practicing for next season’s early events.
