Posted by MOATI at Spec Ops:

First of all, I'd like to say Thank You to all the teams that expressed interest in being sponsored by Special Ops. The response was overwhelming and it was extremely challenging to narrow the field down to what we did. I am confident though that all of the teams that we have chosen will represent us well through-out the 2008 season. Make sure everybody gets out to the events these great teams will be attending and play alongside them or against them....but play!

So...here we go....

We chose 8 Recon Teams literally from all over the world.

They are...

Yankee Division Paintball (Northeast US)
Team Krisis (Eastern US)
Team BeBop (Eastern US)
Strength & Honor (Northwest plus events across the country)
Black Sheep Squad (Northeast US)
Team Green Devils (Midwest, central, and Great Lakes)
Adrenaline A (Canada)
Section 8 (Australia)

And we chose 4 Elite Teams.

They are...

Tri-State Special Operations Command (TSSOC)- Northeast US
The Tippinators- Canada and Northeast US
Xtreme Fanatics- Southeast US
Team Forest Fire- Northwest US plus other events through-out the country


Finally, we chose one "Special Ops Rock Star" for an individual sponsorship...

Ed "8-Ball" Mentz! He was our very first Elite player and now he's our very first "Rock Star".

Congratulations everyone!!!!

wonder what their sponsorship packages are...

Are there no Southern U.S. teams worthy of a sponsorship?

Probably something pretty sweet, if they are only sponsoring 8 teams.

Though 8 scenario teams is quite a few players.. so I dunno.

"Xtreme Fanatics - SOUTHEAST US"

Unless I'm mistaken this would qualify as a Southern US team...

I've played with and against XF on many diffrent games they deserve it!!

Yes, I agree XF really deserves thie sponsorship. I too have played with and against them along with Rogue Warriors and the Mayberry Maruaders...all Central Florida teams as well.

Just another note...BeBop and Krisis have my additional congrats as well !!!! (great folks)

and Congrats to all the teams on being selected!

Isn't Krisis from Western North Carolina? If its the same ones "Otto" ran a game we played in at Thanksgiving. Great guy from what I seen that day.

there was one Xtreme Fanatics- Southeast US.

Glad to hear about Krisis and Bebop getting the sponsorship from SpecOps. Two deserving teams.
