Just to clarify, the paintball masks are a requirement because of safety reasons. After over 18 years of hosting games, Airsoft Hawaii has found that paintball masks provide the best protection.
The games will be alot more scenerio based and less paintsoft. One goal of the BASH is to show that airsoft can be played in many types of forms; not just full on milsim.
Many sponsors are planning to attend the event and while I cannot disclose who is coming, all I can say is that in the past we have had many american, japanese retailers and hong kong retailers show up. The amount of prizes given away at last years ASH BASH totalled over $20,000.
I can say from the past 3 years I attended the event (as a player and not as event staff) that the gameplay was not the only thing that brought me back; it was the overall atmosphere of the event.
More updates are coming soon so I wouldn't let one little requirement deter you from the event.
