The sport I think as a whole is growing leaps and bounds. When I started in 05 the average weekend game day had like 40 people. Now the fields by edmonton and calgary putting on just a generic skrim day are getting hundreds. The problem at least in Alberta has been the death of all the clubs. None of the clubs that grew the sport and put on games teaching the next generation are around anymore, doubt the average player even knows the name of one. Its just paintball fields running games in the style of paintball, short, fast, no tactics. I play little just because I want long games with emphasis on tactics and communication. Wish that would come back.
Very much agree on the website, forums need to make a comeback. Discord sucks, and facebook is trash for event organizing.
