Why A Flagswipe Sponsored Team:
The unparalled support Flagswipe provides for local teams and non-profit organizations has became a perfect fit to the Glen Morris Mercenaries mission.
About:
We are a Canadian Paintball Rep Team representing paintball and our sponsors through positive promotion of paintball. The team is lead by Tom "Tomcat" Cunningham, a veteran of paintball with fully 17 years worth of playing experience. In short, our membership prides ourselves on playing scenario paintball with the following ideals first and foremost. While engaging in competition and scenario games we have become well known as a more than approachable club that will bend over backwards to help anyone in need of assistance, whether that individual is on the opposite team or otherwise. To stop by the Mercenaries tent is to enjoy social interaction which to us is as much a part of the game as the game itself, and anyone is made welcome. We do not however tolerate egos, we do not tolerate infractions of paintball rules and safety is paramount to our game.
