Paintball Sports Promotions is ushering in a new era in tournament paintball. After our annual meeting, we have revised, overhauled, and improved nearly everything in the PSP. We strongly feel that these changes will improve our league ten-fold and are anticipating a great 2006 season.
First off, we are excited to announce that the NXL will be opening up its ranks to other professional teams. The top teams in the world will now be competing head to head for a HUGE cash prize package at each event. These are the match-ups that everyone has been waiting for and will produce the best paintball ever seen. Now everyone will have the chance to witness the battles between such great teams as Dynasty and Trauma as well as XSV and the Russians.
Secondly, there have been several changes to the divisions and formats in the PSP that we feel will offer more teams and players the chance to play Xball with more actual play time. The divisions and formats for the 2006 season will include the following:
NXL ? The top teams in the world will compete in a closed division for the chance at
a HUGE cash prize package at each event. Unlike in the past, there will a tournament winner at each event.
Division 1- This division will continue to play the same format that they did in the 2005 season with the following changes:
Teams will play a round-robin format within a grouping of 5 teams. Teams within a group will play in 2 ? hour sessions over the first 2 days. Top teams will then advance to semi finals, and continue a round-robin format with new groups.
A mercy rule will also be implemented. If at any point during the second half one team is winning by 7 or more points, the game will be called.
Rosters will be limited at 19 people total with a minimum of 10 players.
The entry fee for this division for the 2006 season will be $2650.
Division 2 ? This division will also play a round-robin format in groupings of 5 teams. Games will be played with a 15 minute game clock which will stop after each point scored.
