Editing Bill Gardner (section)

== All Americans ==

Gardner and his brother Adam formed the All Americans in 1989 at Sgt. York's Friendly War Games in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Bill Gardner became the team's captain.[1]

During the early 1990s, the All Americans developed into one of the leading American tournament teams. Results documented in 1995 included victories at the 1991 International Masters, the 1992 World Cup, the 1994 World Cup in both the ten-player and five-player competitions, and the 1995 ESPN World Championship.[1]

Gardner described the team and Smart Parts as closely connected. All Americans players tested equipment produced by the company and supplied feedback during product development. He also emphasised preparation, communication between playing squads and detailed knowledge of equipment as parts of the team's competitive approach.[1]

Gardner remained captain of the All Americans during the 2001 [[National Professional Paintball League]] season.[2] The team won the professional ten-player competition at the 2001 Chicago Open.[3]
