== Skyball 1999 ==

=== Return to Toronto ===

Team Internet returned to Skyball in 1999.

The event attracted more than 170 five-player teams.

WARPIG reported that Team Internet was again competing using stock-class paintball markers.[5]

The team's equipment choices distinguished it from most competitors.

=== Stock-class competition ===

Stock-class paintball generally involves pump-action markers with limited paint capacity and restricted air systems.

By 1999, most tournament teams used semiautomatic paintball markers.

Team Internet's decision to compete with stock-class equipment attracted attention.

The approach emphasised playing ability rather than equipment performance.

=== Documented roster ===

WARPIG's official 1999 Skyball roster lists the following players under '''Team Internet'''.[6]

{| class="wikitable"

The roster reflects registration information for that event.

It does not establish that all eight players competed in every game.

=== Additional Team Internet squad ===

The same roster also identifies '''Team Internet Project #2'''.

Its listed players were:

|-
| Matt Drown

| David McCann

| Mark McCann
|-
| Jim Johnson
|-
| Kwokwai Wu
|-
| Jim Bartus
|}

The roster also includes an entry for '''Tip Two''' with the same six players.

The entries appear to refer to the same group under alternative names.

They should not automatically be counted as separate teams without additional evidence.

=== Tournament performance ===

WARPIG's contemporary report states that Team Internet competed with stock-class equipment.

The report does not identify the team among the tournament's leading finishers.

The event's amateur championship was won by Jacksonville Warriors.

=== Equipment philosophy ===

Team Internet's use of stock-class markers was a deliberate contrast to the increasingly equipment-intensive tournament environment.

Its participation demonstrated that players continued to value pump-action paintball.

The team's approach attracted attention from spectators and other competitors.
