Now I tend to read p8ntballer (www.p8ntballer-forums.com) on an almost daily basis ... and the thread above has taken my interest. Have a read, come back - and let's discuss ... something interesting lurks within.

I think re-unification is inevitable. But I'd hate to see it at the expense of X-ball. I think PSP is very viable as they are still getting plenty of teams entering, be it as it may lower division teams.

Talking to Ryan about X-ball in the states he says a lot of teams love playing X-ball but just cant afford the paint expense if they are not sponsored so opt to play NPPL instead. I think the way forward would be to play some sort of X-ball lite. I dont think a hybrid of 7 man and X-ball would work, and I cant see Pure promotions giving away 7 man either.

I think the sponsors would love to see NPPL and PSP merge as it would lower there sponsorship bill.........yet they may spend extra on the teams.

Have seen an article on a trial in Uk Dye on the road I think.. 7 man but quick turn around first to 3 points ..

That was the Pro tour.

Locked league of 8 teams, everyone plays everyone else (twice I think) and it's 5 games each time, 5 min turnaround each game, normal 7 man rules.

total wins / losses added up.

I played that this year, it worked really well.

Hope that format works on a larger scale
