Singapore’s first official paintball tournament, the Singapore
Paintball Novice Series (SPNS) 2008 will be held in the island
state’s largest and newest paintball arena, Red Dynasty Paintball
Park on 30 March 2008.
This three-on-three tournament will be open for registration to all
people residing in Singapore. “The aim of this tournament is to
create paintball awareness in Singapore and to allow more people to
take up this activity as a lifestyle sport” states Jane Koh, who is
the President of the Paintball Association (Singapore) and the
Singapore representative in the Paintball Asia League Series (PALS)
which organized the World Cup Asia 2007. As the tournament
director, she points out that paintball is not only an exhilarating
sport to play; it is also one which is exciting to watch.
This tournament will create an opportunity for like-minded people
to come together and pit their paintball skills against each other,
thus increasing the community of paintball players in Singapore.
The tournament has an expected turn out of twenty teams.
Ben Seow otherwise known as “King” within the paintball community

this tournament will allow Singaporeans to experience playing
paintball in a competition format which will help people to
understand more about the sport. He believes that it will also
allow the paintball standards in Singapore to improve and grow.
With more than two hundred paintball teams in Malaysia, he hopes to
see more paintball teams carrying the Singapore flag when
participating in regional paintball tournaments.
The SPNS will be a three leg series which will be organized in the
months of March, June and September (dates to be confirmed) in
