Yes, it could be described as 'speedsoft' but dont in a much more controlled environment. What I witnessed in the states was only the very well established teams competing properly, which also almost eradicated cheating. The main reason being, its not worth the potential damage it could do to your teams reputation if caught. Very small spaces, 5on5, games lasting less than 2 minutes. Basic capture the flag. Fast, minimal gear needed and all you need is a reletively small space with some obstacles. Imagine mixing competitive paintball (yes I said it) into Airsoft. Spice of life is bang on - mix it up a bit.

Strikeforce in Gloucester - probably a bit far for you, but a custom field in an old factory!

So I guess the first question is, does anyone know what SpeedQB is? The current definition in a nutshell is as follows: SpeedQB is a fast paced style of airsoft originally developed by Southern Californian airsoft team SYG Airsoft. SpeedQB is the polar opposite of "milsim" or military-simulation airsoft in that it is a teamwork-centric, aggressive, athleticism based, high-speed style of playing airsoft. SpeedQB foregoes the limitations of realism in exchange for creativity, efficiency, and originality. Basically; competitive airsoft in an indoor environment. Multiple rounds being played, each lasting anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes. I've been playing with SYG across the pond for the past few weeks and it's intense. So my question to the UK community would be; Would it take off on our side of the ocean? What venues would you see it played in?
