=== Great Western Series (1997–1999) ===

Bonebrake became a partner in the Great Western Series in 1997, joining its founder [[Russell Maynard]].

Established in 1991, the series organised regional tournament competition throughout the western United States, including events in California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii.[1]

The competition primarily used five-player and 10-player formats with restrictions on the quantity of paintballs players could carry.

The series also permitted teams to bring their own paintballs, reducing costs compared with competitions requiring the purchase of event-supplied paint.[2]

In 1999, the organisation expanded its promotional partnership to include Liz Bonebrake and [[Jessica Sparks]]. This restructuring led to the establishment of the Pan Am Paintball Circuit.[1]
