The event, like the 2001 PanAm finals, will be held at The Sports Center in Las Vegas, just moments from the strip. The Sports Center is a 25-acre event facility specializing in corporate outings, team building, theme parties, weddings and special events. Paintball players will have a blast checking out the 46-foot rock-climbing wall, the nine-hole putting green, the world-famous Slugger Stadium, and for the ultimate in speed…the Thunderbolt Go-Karts!

The facility has both indoor and outdoor fields that will be used for this year’s tournament. All of the outdoor fields will be right next to the Sports Center and two will be under stadium lights. All players are asked to bring and wear kneepads, because the lighted fields are part Astroturf over concrete and part grass. The other outdoor fields will be in the backyard of the Sports Center on a grass surface.

The inside of the Sports Center will house an indoor field and the vendor area, which will be full of booths occupied by the industry’s favorite paintball companies. The group of vendors will make up one of the largest paintball trade shows on the west coast.

PanAm will host two special non-tournament events during the five days of Vegas. Once again, in the spirit of Las Vegas, the PanAm will host the one-on-one Excalibur Joust sponsored by AKALMP. Plus, as a special treat, the PanAm will host, and Ricochet™ will sponsor, a Nite Shoot paintball game, with the use of Ricochet™ hoppers specially designed for glow-in-the-dark paintballs.

The event schedule will be as follows (more details to come):

- Dec. 4-5: 10-player rookie, novice, amateur

- Dec. 6-8: 5-player novice, amateur

- Dec. 7-8: 5-player rookie

- Dec. 7: 3-player young guns

- Dec. 8: 3-player stock gun

- Dec. 8: awards ceremony
