February 22, 2008:
Over several weeks of personal debate and careful
consideration, I've come to the conclusion that from this
point on, PaintballTourney.com will be taking a new path.
Since this website originated about six years, its
primary focus was to list paintball tournament and events in
every state in the United States and several countries from
around the world. The new path that this website will be
taken is directing all its focus and attention on the Kansas
Paintball Community.
One reason for this
decision is because of the lack of time on my end. The
intent for listing tournaments and events is that field
owners and event promoters would use the "online submit
form". However, very few choose to utilize that form which
requires me to go out to websites, forums, and to read
email-list messages and manually type in the events that I
find. With my recent licensure in my profession and with
the Midwest Paintball Series getting bigger each year, I am
having less and less time each day to go and find
tournaments to list.
Another reason for
this decision is with all the traffic the website currently
receives and the messages that are posted each day,
a majority of that traffic and messages comes from players
who are from Kansas. I've discovered that most other states
already have a state-wide website which attracts those
players from those states and therefore do not need to visit
PaintballTourney.com. Kansas does not currently have a
state-wide website and thus the reason why
PaintballTourney.com will now be a "Kansas Paintball
Community" website giving players, fields, and stores a
better communication tool to those who live and/or play in
Kansas.
