=== Tournament sponsorship ===

Perlmutter was involved in PMI's sponsorship of competitive paintball during the 1980s and 1990s.

PMI partnered with Paul Fogal of [[Skirmish USA]] in Pennsylvania to support the North American Championship Tournament and Trade Show, which began in 1986.[1]

During the late 1980s and early 1990s, PMI and R. P. Scherer sponsored the tournament series organised by [[Jim Lively]] and Sam Caldwell. The companies' names appeared in the series branding during 1991 and 1992.

Perlmutter attended sponsored tournaments and participated in presenting prize money to winning teams. At the 1992 Lively Masters, he presented the first-place prize of US$15,000.[1]

PMI also sponsored several established tournament teams, including [[Aftershock]], [[Lords of Discipline]], [[Sudden Death]] and the [[PMI Piranhas]].

Perlmutter was himself a tournament player, competing with the PMI Piranhas during the late 1980s. Contemporary photographs also document his presence with the Lords of Discipline.[1]
