In just under 24 hours the Bolingbrook Aquatic Center will be swarming with paintball enthusiasts and sounds of buzzers and flying paintballs. The 2008 Chicago Open is a national paintball tournament hosted by the PSP, and will take place June 25th-29th. Last year the Chicago PSP event consisted of over 2,400 players in the tournament, and this year is expected to be even bigger. The Chicago PSP event has historically been considered one of the bigger tournaments of the year, so you should expect to see some real competition on the field. Dynasty, Ironmen, X-Factor, Red Legion, and all the other big team names will be playing at the event among the rest of the lower divisions.

The Chicago event is ironically located in Bolingbrook, IL, a close suburb of Chicago. Its location is perfect for anybody of any age to come and watch the games for FREE. Personally, I was first introduced to the sport of paintball by simply watching the tournaments at events like these. It's truly something you need to experience in the first person, especially while it's summer.

For the people curious as to what the teams are playing for, here is a list of the prizes for each division:

Paintball-online is giving away a brand new 2008 Planet Eclipse Ego ($1,250). The giveaway only requires your email address to enter and nothing more. The winner will be drawn on June 30th, 2008 according to their giveaway page. All it costs you is a valid email address that you can opt-out of at any time (wait until after the winner is drawn though, of course).

You would think that giveaways like these are flooded with entries, but people usually glimpse over them when browsing the web in my experience. So why not enter - may as well be one of paintballguns.net's visitors that wins it . If you do enter and win, make sure you contact me so you can brag to all the other visitors that lost or didn't enter. Best of luck to you all. Below you'll find a short informational video on the 2008 Ego.

The 2008 PSP Phoenix event is just around the corner. It is the first of 5 events being held this year between March 13th to 16th (2008 schedule). For the noobs, the PSP (Paintball Sports Promotions) is a paintball tournament venue in the United States. Admission is free. Personally, I've been to about 5 or 6 of the PSP events over the past few years and had a great time. They're tons of fun. Watching the games at the PSP are short and sweet, but extremely aggressive.

Teams should register ASAP, space is limited.

Even if you don't have a team, definitely mark your calendar 'PSP' with a big red marker on March 13-16.

Team Ironmen won last year. I predict Russian Legion to take the gold for the 2008 season.
