IAPTE, Inc is proud to announce that David Zinkam, the renowned NPPL
scrutineer, will be providing his skills along with "Robo-Ref", the NPPL
Robot, as the Official Scrutineer for the XO Industries International
Amateur Paintball Tournament and Expo Presented by Vengeance Paintball
Distributors, scheduled to take place at the Florida State Fairgrounds
June 16-19, 2005.

Mr. Zinkam's robot has served the NPPL for the past two years aiding
event officials in catching prohibited markers and providing them with
an unbiased way to determine if a marker was firing in an enhanced mode
or not.

"When we started this project, one of the things that I insisted on was
that we find a way to have Robo-Ref at our event.” Dale Ford, Vice
President of IAPTE, Inc. stated. “That way, there will be a balanced
way, without human presumption, to determine whether or not a marker is
in compliance with the rules.” He continued. “I'm ecstatic to have Mr.
Zinkam associated with our event."
