Bring your own paint (BYOP) events are pretty damn practical for regular paintballers. Most Big Game events don't sell paintballs by the bag, and force you to splurge on a full case for the day. For those of us who shoot conservatively, or use limited ammo devices like magazines and tac-cap loaders, that means a lot of leftover paint coming home with you at the end of the day. This can lead to pretty large stockpiles in your basement over the course of a season (that's 4000 and counting in the photo above). BYOP events allow you to make use of those leftover paintballs, instead of letting them go bad.
Since most paintball fields make the bulk of their profit on paintball sales, BYOP events are pretty rare in paintball in general. This holds true in Ottawa as well, with most fields in the area being "field paint-only" operations. One exception to this is a field called Ottawa X-Treme Paintball (OXP).
