Frequently Asked Questions

The Association for Competitive Paintball is a a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and hosting competitive paintball tournaments. 

The Association for Competitive Paintball was born out of the frustration of playing in too many poorly run, poorly organized tournaments. 

Anyone! We do not utilize or submit scores for APPA rankings.

In the spirit of competition, there are no restrictions on who can be rostered. Former pros? You bet! Bring the best you can and fight for glory!

 Our primary goal is to host highly competitive tournaments. To that end, ACP is woring to provide:

• A dedicated non-profit organization - Every dollar goes directly to the costs of hosting the event and the event staff.

• Extremely high standards - Working scoreboards, fill stations, buzzers, competent and engaged refs. These are just the basics that players should expect, but somehow most tournaments still get these things just plain wrong.

• Certified reffing with direct oversight, feedback, and video replay - No one likes it when a call gets missed. It's 2023. ACP is committed to using all available technology to make sure we get it right!

• Independent of any field -ACP will only work with fields that agree to meet our high standards, but we are free to move between multiple facilities. 

• All formats available - We know you want variety. Let ACP be your guide to quality mech, x-ball, and more! Each event will generally be focused on a singular format, but the ACP brand will run multiple events for all types of play.
