Scoreboards. Points. Clocks. Pits. Announcers and stands full of fans. That RaceTo format you’re playing now. Ever wonder where all that came from and why we’re not still playing with twenty guys on the field? Turn the clock back to 2002 and watch as the very best professional paintball players in the world came together to battle it out under their country’s flags at the Nations Cup. Hosted by the International Amateur Open, one of the largest and most influential paintball events of yesteryear, the Nation’s Cup was the showcase event for XBall, a format that was quickly embraced by the paintball world as the future of the sport. Enjoy the Angels, Impulses, Intimidators and Matrix markers too!
