Editing Women's paintball (section)

== Media, industry and event organisation ==

=== Publishing and photography ===

Women have held editorial and ownership roles in paintball publications. Jessica Sparks edited [[Action Pursuit Games]], while Claudia Weilikson founded [[Paintcheck Magazine]] in 1989 and organised the Paintcheck Open at [[Skirmish USA]].[16]

Cleo Fogal combined co-ownership of Skirmish USA with paintball photography. At tournaments, her work included photographing players, arranging for prints to be produced that evening and making them available the following day. [[Dawn Mills]] contributed reporting, photography and the development of [[WARPIG]] alongside Bill Mills.[16]

[[Bea Youngs]] combined tournament play with writing, photography, webcast commentary and work for JT Paintball. Her playing career included Femmes Fatale, the Bushwackers and Destiny.[16]

=== Equipment businesses ===

Rose Griffith co-owned Unique Sporting in Anaheim, California, with her brother Al. The business manufactured hand-sewn paintball packs, and Griffith supported teams and events during the early 1990s.[16]

The 2019 ''Paintball.Media'' retrospective also identified Dianne King of [[MacDev]] and Tracy Hatcher of Pro Team Products among women involved in paintball equipment manufacturing.[16]

=== Tournament and scenario production ===

Women's roles in event organisation have included tournament administration, venue selection, registrations and promotion. In 2019, Camille Baker Lemanski was identified as the [[National Xball League]]'s international event director, with responsibilities including team and vendor registration, marketing and assisting with venue selection.[16]

The same feature identified Viktoriya Sarantseva as [[NXL Europe]]'s event manager and the European Paintball Federation's secretary, describing her involvement in organising international teams and Nations Cup competition.[16]

In [[scenario paintball]], Diane "Mother" Howe progressed from playing in Wayne Dollack's events to directing games herself. With Patrick McKinnon, she established Mackz Xtreme Sportz in 1996.[16]
