The NPPL annouced that grandstands are free all weekend. This comes right after the PSP started charging for grandstand tickets. The usual price for grandstand tickets are $10 or $5 for the young ones (12 and under) or NPPL members.
If you have already bought tickets, they will refund your money by going to registration.

Or a strategic alliance. Whatever you want to call it, they’ll have some sexy children.
Basically that’s it. They manage to pad that out to 7 paragraphs in their press release by saying Greg is really cool and popular, mostly due to those badass games in his name, and that they’re also cool like him [...]

Splat Magazine’s Sports Book is a page where you can pick the order which you think the teams will finish. Good idea, but horrible execution.

So the site paintballguns.net (yes, their name includes the .net part), acquires PB-addict.com. Not sure what the whole terms were, but I think it went something like this:
paintballguns.net- Hey, I’ll give $50 for pb-addict.com

paintballguns.net- No, no, they’ll be more likely to leave them. Let’s just [...]

 His comments were very similar to [...]
