The Great American Paintball Tour - 2011 Schedule

The American Paintball Tour (APT) is a coalition of the biggest and best scenario paintball events in the world. For the first time ever, the largest scenario game producers have come together to form a year-long tour that combines the production and marketing efforts of the top scenario events and combining it with a brand new ranking and points system that will allow players to accumulate points throughout the season which can be used to improve your league ranking and earn other benefits.



The APT exists as a way to streamline the marketing of large-scale events, and grow the number of recreational players that participate in these games. Together, all APT events will be work as one to increase the camaraderie that players experience at quality paintball productions.

The APT will be rewarding players for participating in APT-affiliated events by distributing points for various achievements that range from entering the event, dressing up in character, making a prop, forming a league team, being a part of an event-winning side, etc. Players will also be rewarded points for forming teams and playing APT events together as a squad throughout the season. At the end of the season, the top players and teams will be awarded prize packages. There will also be one APT player at each event that will be recognized and rewarded with prizes during the end-game ceremony.
