I've got the same. Bit cheeky though, if you check the small print you have to pay £12.50 per person as a "not turning up deposit" you don't get this back, plus you only get a small amount of paintballs, so will have to pay out for a lot more as it is an all day event. Really good prize if you were going anyway but not so much if you thought it was going to be a free paintballing prize.
I am so grateful though for all the people who post these comps, just wish the prize givers were a bit more open about the prizes!!0 -
I once entered a comp and had a "runners up" prize like this. I dont think you were a runner up, its just a marketing tactic. 25 x £12.50 + 25 x £20 (extra paintballs) There making their money back, and then some... I dont want to discard it, but I wonder how many people get that congratulations letter0
