like i said i dont care bout having to wait its the other impacts of having to wait that im getting at here if u actualy read what ive put youl actualy see that my points are more for getting it as a legitmate sport so it can access funding that airsoft cant get it and also for bringing in new players,it also sets out a basic rulesety that sites can use so all sites conform to same standards rather than this site is 360 buit the one down the road is 350.theres a bigger picture to it but u just seem to be focusing on the fact i said about being shafted

funny that as they have a governing body so therefore is a recognised sport in the uk hence y they can operate ;)

Having a governing body does not mean that they are recognised as a sport.

That governing body's website states the following and I would rather take their word as to whether paintball is recognised as a sport than yours.: 

The UKPSF is also leading efforts to secure formal recognition of paintball as a sport in the UK and the opportunity that provides to raise public awareness of paintball as a sporting discipline. Such increased public awareness and understanding has the potential to lead to greater participation, mainstream media coverage, access to development funding and, in the long-term, even inclusion in multi-sport events (such as the Olympics).

Yep, which sort of destroys the "they have a governing body" argument.

Apart from they seem to have at least two.

Just because a group claim to be the governing body or the national body does not mean that they are.

UKPSF state that: 
 

The role and objects of this Federation are to carry on any non-commercial or not-for-profit activity, or any industry, business or trade so as to:

(a) Act as a representative national body for all paintball sports.

the same can be said about your link then just cause they say there is or isnt doesnt mean there right either bud think we need to agree to disagree haha

AND here we have an example of the exact reason why when ever there’s any kind of problem involving airsoft then Airsofting will always loose , one play makes a statement another disagrees and an escalating argument follows where basically the same point is being made over and over again but it starts getting heated as it goes on . Wether it’s due to the type of person airsoft attracts (appealing to your Alpha type) or the fact it is a combat sport and is definitely based around winners and losers a lot in the sport just can’t or won’t agree so we never do get a united front ?

Yeah I agree. Agree to disagree otherwise I'm gonna feel like I have to dig a fire break trench an cut down loads of trees to stop this spreading.lol

I kinda feel like it was my original comments that sparked the tinder.

Some good points raised on both sides though. ??
