Watch World Cup Online
Saturday, September 27th, 2008
PSP tried this once before, I think it was at PSP Chicago last year, but this time viewers must pay an unmentioned price to be able to watch the feed. The PSP webshow will be online from Friday Otober 24, 2008 to Sunday October 26, 2008. The layout of the show is pretty much like the NPPL webshow; pro field footage, interviews with pros, and sneak peaks at new products. The hosts of the show are Patrick Spohrer, maker of MWAG films, and Matty Marshall, pro player and the face of paintball on tv.

2008 PSP World Cup Premium Seats
Thursday, September 11th, 2008
PSP is bringing back their Premium seating for World Cup 2008. The seating is covered platforms that have been raised 10ft in the air and are located on both sides of the NXL scoreboard. Each box has a maximum capacity of 8 seats that are away from spectator coaching. In addition to the shading seating, premium seat ticket holders get an event t-shirt and on Saturday and Sunday, get complimentary beverages and snacks that will be distributed by the PSP girls. Wifi will also be available with these seats.
Another perk of getting these premium seats is that you can stay up to date with NXL scores even if you aren’t in your seat because you can recieve the scores immediately after the match on your cell phone. (I assume it’ll be via text message.) Not only do you get all that was previously mentioned but you also get a back stage pass to the players pit, where you can mingle with the pros and divisional players.
There’s even more of a bonus with the purchase of these premium seating tickets. One, you get special coupons for some of the major vendors. A great way to pick some of the new items for 2009. Two, you get comlimentary bag check-in service. And if you buy two premium seat tickets, you get reserved up-front parking for the whole week.
Private box seating is also available for those big spenders. Private boxes get four extra seats in their box, making it a total of twelve seats total in your private premium box seating. With a private box, you may hang a company sign on it for some extra advertising. Contact Keely Watson at keely (at) pspevents (dot) com for more information or to reserve your private box today.
Tickets may be available on site on a daily basis
Wednesday - Friday - $60 each
Saturday - $75 each
Sunday - $100 each
Sounds like it’s definitely one-upping the grandstands at NEO
Procaps Caps the Pros
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008
Procaps Direct, the parent company of Draxxus, Vforce, and Archon; like any company aims to make to money whereever and whenever possible. In this case, pro paintball teams are going to be a source of additional money by making them pay for paint at events. Pro teams only have to pay for paint once they have exceeded the allotted amount of paint they are given which ranges from 3-5 million paintballs. Teams in both the NXL and NPPL will be affected by this arrangement. Teams possibly undergoing this arrangement are All-Americans, Arsenal, Aftermath, Bushwackers, Naughty Dogs, and Avalanche.

It’s Official… Avalanche is Out of the NXL
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008
I guess it’s official now, Avalanche is out of the NXL and will concentrate on NPPL.
After considerable thought I, Ed Poorman team owner of St Louis Avalanche, have decided to no longer compete in the NXL. In a time when the costs are ever increasing for teams to participate and attend both the PSP/NXL and NPPL, the time has come to make this decision and concentrate on just one league. Although Avalanche would love to compete in the NXL the cost just out weights the rewards. As owner of the team I could not handle all the extra expenses when sponsorship dollars have decreased this season. All the players of Avalanche have done their best to help raise revenue by holding clinics, but it is still not enough to be able to attend both leagues. The entry fee alone for the NXL costs the team $6000.00 per event. That breaks down to $1200.00 per match or $40.00 per minute unless you make Sunday. The team has chosen to concentrate all of its funds, efforts and focus on the NPPL Super 7 format, hopefully this will allow Avalanche to become a top 3 team in both the Pro and Semi-Pro divisions. Avalanche wishes only the best to the league and the teams who continue to compete in the NXL.
