2007: Coopers Plains company, Battlefield Sports, who run

bunkers and gaming guns has been named Champion Specialized Small
Business at the inaugural Queensland Small Business Champion Awards.

presented Battlefield Sports the award at a gala dinner at the Sofitel
Brisbane.

“We are ready with our innovative inflatable barricades and bunkers to
take the entertainment right to people’s backyards, we aim to provide
the best birthday ever for the kids of Brisbane, our goal is always to
have fun!”
Inspired by popular programs, such as the soon to be released Halo 3,
outdoor Battlefield LIVE is just like a live computer game.
Battlefield LIVE is a fun game ideal for all ages.
The gaming guns use a harmless infrared beam, similar to a TV remote
that tags sensors worn by each of the players.

finalists were judged by an independent panel that considers all aspects
of entrants' businesses, including their achievements, standing in the
community, approach to staff and support of the local community.
