Editing WARPIG (section)

== Growth during the 1990s ==

=== Early online paintball journalism ===

WARPIG developed during a period when paintball news was primarily distributed through printed magazines.

Publications such as [[Action Pursuit Games]], Paintball Sports International and Paintball News covered equipment, tournaments and industry developments.

Printed magazines often appeared weeks or months after the events they described.

WARPIG used the internet to publish tournament information more quickly.

This provided players and spectators with access to results and event coverage without waiting for printed publications.

=== Tournament reporting ===

By the mid-1990s, Bill and Dawn Mills were travelling to major paintball tournaments.

They produced written reports, photographs and tournament results.

WARPIG's coverage included major American events and international competitions.

The publication became particularly associated with detailed reporting from NPPL tournaments.

=== 1996 NPPL World Cup ===

WARPIG's tournament archive includes coverage of the 1996 NPPL World Cup in Orlando, Florida.

The archive contains event reports and results from the professional and amateur divisions.[3]

The coverage is an important surviving source for the final years of the traditional professional 10-man era.

=== Expansion of coverage ===

During the late 1990s, WARPIG expanded its reporting to additional tournament series.

Its coverage included:

* National Professional Paintball League
* Great Western Tournament Series
* Pan Am Circuit
* Northwest Tournament Series
* International Amateur Open
* Skyball
* Regional tournament competitions

The website also published articles about recreational paintball, equipment technology and industry developments.
