The primary purpose is to provide a means of verifying a player's identity and event participation history in an easy, convenient, automated manner while preserving each player's and promoter's control over their own information. Additionally, as the APPA ID System database grows, APPA will begin to acquire a significant amount of aggregate information on the people who play paintball. APPA hopes to leverage this aggregate information to promote the sport to interests outside of the industry.
You will need an APPA ID Card to play in the CFOA 5-Man, CFOA X-Ball and PBC 3-Man Series. Players are urged to register for an APPA ID Number and purchase an ID card before the date of the event!
Players first obtain an APPA ID number by registering online. Events using the APPA ID system will require each team to provide a roster of the APPA ID numbers. Once a team is registered, their roster is checked to verify eligibility for the event. The promoter is provided with a list of each player's APPA ID Number, name and birthdate so that each player's identity may be checked against the roster on-field.
Your identifying information will only be shared with other parties when you use your APPA ID to register for their events (you'd be giving them this information anyway, this just saves you the paperwork.) Additionally, aggregate data about APPA ID Card holders will be made available to the industry for general promotional purposes. Your Name, Player Class and Event History are considered PUBLIC INFORMATION.
If you already have an APPA ID Number, you do not need to re-register for an ID Card. Anyone who played in the CFOA in 2005 should already have an APPA Number. You can register for an APPA Id Number, Purchase an ID Card and Register for events by clicking the links in the menu to the left.
