Central Florida Paintball Series

The Central Florida Paintball Series is the best paintball league in Florida. The CFPS features unmatched competition, prize packages and media coverage of all paintball leagues in the state of Florida.

Central Florida Paintball is synonymous with tournament paintball. Paintball tournaments have been held at CFP for years. 2009 marks the inaugural year for the Central Florida Paintball Series. Late in 2008, CFP decided to create a tournament series catered to the tournament player’s needs. Being players ourselves we understand what players look for and want in a tournament series. The CFPS has been able to provide a complete tournament experience by offering:

Affordable Pricing

The CFPS, being created by players with the players in mind, has been able to keep the cost of entry and paint low while still maintaining a great staff and some of the best prize packages in the state.

Players are also offered food, hot off the grill and drinks to keep hydrated.

Experienced Staff

The CFPS has been running tournaments for years and now has it down to a science. We boast having on staff one the best Ultimate Referees in the industry, Patrick Flood, former NPPL Head Referee. His experience and resume speaks for itself and the CFPS could not be more pleased to have him on staff. The referees include national level players from well known organizations like Tampa Bay Damage, Fierce, Static and CFP Factory. You would be very hard pressed to find a more experienced group of refs as these players play on a national level and have won world championships. As players they know what to look for and how to deal with certain situations.

Rules

The Central Florida Paintball Series has adopted the PSP Rulebook, minus the Race2-2 format, in an effort to standardize the rules and prepare our teams for the World Championships.
