IAO becomes NPPL Sanctioned Event
Pittsburgh, PA. - The International Amateur Open is pleased to announce its affiliation with the NPPL. Chuck Hendsch, President of the NPPL had this to say, “The NPPL Feeder Series program is essential to the standardization of tournament play. I am pleased at the opportunity to sanction the IAO as an NPPL Affiliate event. The IAO is a perfect event for new teams to be introduced to the NPPL format. The NPPL is honored to have the world renown IAO event using the NPPL format, rules and PRO referee program.”
According to Debra Dion Krischke of Team Effort Events, producer of the IAO, “For over a decade there have been discussions of how to align ourselves with the NPPL. We have tried diligently to maintain standards of excellence in production, promotion and hospitality for the teams and industry alike. Currently the NPPL, under the direction of Pure Promotions, is meeting and exceeding those standards so it is now possible for the NPPL to be what it was designed to be—a governing and standardizing body for competitive play within the industry. Players can be assured of regulation fields, standardized rules and qualified referees in a well managed and promoted event.”
This year’s Draxxus International Amateur Open, presented by Dick’s Sporting Goods, will feature NPPL ref training and the ability for players to receive a temporary ID card or join the NPPL Players Association which offers a multitude of amenities to the player. Team Arsenal, an up and coming pro-team, will be offering a players clinic to help out some of the younger team
As the NPPL evolves, players can look forward to authorized feeder series, such as the Pan Am circuit which will further lend to the universal standards for competitive play.
The IAO is the oldest, stand-alone event in paintball and has served as a non-political haven for vendors, manufacturers and players to come together once a year in an atmosphere of acceptance and camaraderie. The Industry Conference offers anyone in the business of paintball the ability to learn from experts, share ideas and meet all the VIP’S in paintball.
