How different is it from Paintball tournaments?
I am only familiar with two types of paintball tournaments and will attempt to address this question based on my knowledge.Standard paintball tournaments are none military and operate in a series of 10~15 minutes games based on capture the flag or speedball. Each team is usually made up of 5~6 individuals.

Lion Claws series tournaments are based on military style missions with a military style command structure. Each scenario could run anywhere from 90~180 minutes; including full day scenarios. Each Squad is made up of 12 trooper, each Platoon is made up of 4 squads plus a Platoon Lt. and a Plt. Sgt. Depending on the size of the event, each COMPANY could consists of 3~4 platoons. Each COMPANY is led by an event VIP Commander.

What kind of people take part in these events?
Attendees range from accountants, bankers, business owners, clerks, corporate types, current and past military/law enforcement, designers, to lawyers, models, programmers, students, teachers and etc. Remember this is NOT about "war", it's about "Team Effort".

Is it safe?

What physical condition is required to attend?
Varies from the terrain of each operation.

Do women participate in these events?
Female attendees are commonplace at our events. In fact, statistic shows that women are better shots than men (arguably so..he..he..) and women make better snipers since they are (again, arguably so) more patient than men.

How about food and accommodation?
Since our events are usually two-day events, camping is popular with most attendees while some prefer the comfort of local motels. A food vendor is generally available from the local area or folks may chose to drive to local diners or stay in camp and cook.

Toilets and light?
Port-a-potties are provided at all our events while light towers are provided at our two-day events.

BB showers and box mag okay?
Neither bb showers nor box mags are allowed at our events (unless the mag is for a squad weapon) since our focus is more tactical and less "spray and pray".

How does one become a leader at the events?

Are cheaters punished?
Cheating is penalized by both deduction of points of the cheater's unit and by PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT. We believe in Public Humiliation.more fun that way.
