A year after the merger of Bulgaria's leading online media Novinite.com and the largest private radio network Darik, the teambuilding skills of the top journalists were tested on the paintball front.

The team, called „On Air News", joined Saturday the biggest paintball tournament in Eastern Europe, hosted by Sofia, and took on their colleagues and professional rivals from the national state-owned radio station BNR.

Following a seven-minute intense fight the team, led under the deft guidance of Novinite.com Managing Director Lyudmil Karzhilov, withdrew with dignity and one member "shot dead" in the forehead.

Novinite.com editor Alex Bivol grabbed the opportunity to unsheathe his paintball gun in the second clash of the contest and it was nothing but bad luck to blame for conceding to the "Crazy Telephone Operators" after running out of bullets.

The guys say they enjoyed their day of paintball and are looking forward to the next challenge to put their skills to good use.
