[MikeE]

Ok all the 2008 season is drawing near!
The NZPPL has few plans for the 2008 Season

We will be hosting the New Zealand X-ball light series
Four events nationwide.
The NZPPL was formed to make tournament paintball in NZ structured with a solid set series and firm prices with all players benefiting these events. Our events will now be structured events so what ever the location and who ever is hosting the event must stick with the NZPPL X-ball light guide lines…..

Guide lines and info for hosts of New Zealand X-ball light series

Registration $500(Capped)
All four event registration $1800 start of year
45m by 38m field sizes
Minimum 38 barriers
Maximum 12 teams Minimum 7 teams
Prizes set for each tournament and agreed by all hosts
NZPPL Medals per event
All for hosts will pay an equal amount towards the 2008 X-ball light trophy
Minimum 2 chrono’s at events
All paper work done for the hosts, score sheets, waivers etc
NZPPL X-ball light music starts will be supplied
Set rules as on the NZPPL website with NZ changes
Hosts can design the field or we can design it but must be sent to us for field formatting so all teams to download 5 days prior to the event.
Set event layout so each event has same layout
Two pits at each end of field.

We would also like a sold 5-6 man ref team who are willing to travel to the events to Referee at the cost of the host of the event. Maybe Terry and his lads are up for the job.

Event dates and locations

From the other site where I'm not allowed to post..

Heading in the right direction so far as I can see. Good to see that they're taking into account a lot of the things we've been talking about.

Here's hoping I'm rich enough and unnocupied enough to play!

[Icharus 461]

If this is what I think it is then "YEAH BABY!"
But I'd say that about any chance to play some proper xball.

[Jawa_nz]

Its x-lite which is a lot of fun to play, but can be a bit of a wakeup call when you first start playing it. My teams first game, only two of us made it to the start gate in time for the start of the match. The 2 min turn around can be quite challenging, but a good pit crew and the fact of how many games you play makes it all worth while.

Just make sure that your wallet is fat enough to pay for all that paint :D

[PBDykie]

*about to wet pants* This is aweeeeesome!! VIJIL you start saving biatch! Got heaps of time! I've got an account especially for balling now :P Just gotta get heaps together so i can get a new ego next year with custom anno; Pink of course, with butterflies :D

[Parabol]

Hellz yeah I'm there! I just need to find someone who makes custom gogs.
I want ones that look like one of those old school gas masks! *drools*
Yeah Jawa our first game wasnt so hot haha. I almost made it. You shoulda called time >_>
If I'd a been the one who made it im pretty sure I could've taken out Invictus no sweat....
Well I would've tried....

Event One February 2008
Event Two May 2008 - NELSON
Event Three August 2008
Event Four November 2008

Does this mean there will only be one nelson event?

[appleby 15]

im keen for a kumeu event.

first time i ever watched a paintball event a few years back. didnt mean much then but itd still be wicked to play there.

[Parabol]

Yes Dane, Unfortunately New Zealand paintball does not revolve around Nelson...

[Jawa_nz]

I think the idea is that wellerz hosts one and chch hosts another... One in each city, It would kinda work like the NPPL series in the states.

Depending on who the 4th is, it may be another one in Nelson. Good venue, good weather and smack bang in the middle of the country :D

[.:TODDY:.]

That would be cool!

[B2]

..
Whats wrong with NPPL in NZ ..Whats wrong with Wellington NPPL..I fail to see why we need another series and different format
But I will hold my hand and hold it in Dunedin..watch the teams back off then.
If we are gonna be totally National..bring it on

[conan]

B-2 your startin to sound paranoid, better watch it or someone will steal your dead body :)

[JustinIntonga]

Ya'll are definitely on the right track bro! I played a season of X-ball with my Uni, best season I ever played!
