The Africa Cup 2011 - Tag and Brag tournament returns in October 2011 and is set to trump the successful 2010 event. The plans are big, the expectations high and the competition will be fierce. The event will be hosted on both the Saturday 29 October and Sunday 30 October. There will be 3-man and 5-man divisions, trade show and other entertainment. We are also looking to welcome some overseas teams as guests to our tournament to show them just how awesome paintball is in South Africa.
The games will be played over 3 amazing field at the Blades and Triggers paintball field in Johannesburg. The layouts for the division will be announced closer to the time but the layout for the 5-man GPPL divisions will most likely be based off one of the Millennium fields, which one will be announce much closer to the time.
The rules for the 5-man GPPL divisions will be the same as the Millennium rule set. The rules for the 3-man are in the process of being updated and the new rules for the 3-man SASP divisions will be announced in the coming weeks.
We are honoured to have Photomonkey (Ole Kröger) coming down for this event and attend to the teams’ media needs on the day.
