NPPL/PSP/X-ball

[pito189]

Which do you guys think will make it the most this year? From what I have been reading, and the pictures I've seen. The NPPL at Hunnington beach is going to be tough to beat.

Just thought I would ask everyone else.

I still think the NPPL is where it's at
but there will be alot of talk of xball this season

[pito189]

I wonder if one series will bite the dust, or if they all will continue.

[spazzed]

Good question Pito... I think they'll all be around for awhile, but eventually, one will outshine the other.. and the "lesser" will either crumble & fall, or be absorbed into the other.. Ironic, eh? :)

I think it would be better for us players if they are separate, but it divides the teams, and the manufacturers.

One of complaints of HB, was that some of the major companies weren't there.

I'd like to see XBall dominating as it's more spectator friendly, but it looks klike NPPL super 7 is where it's at.

I actually like the idea of x-ball

I went to the NPPL in Vegas and it was awesome.. It was the first big time tourny. I'd ever been to, so I don't know what else to compare it to. From what I saw it would have been perfect for TV, quick games, alot of games a ton of hot chicks, in general a great time.. AGD Lions didn't do to well, but it was cool to see them play.

At the same time, there were a lot of complaints that some of the major companies were not at MGO as well. I hear that X-Ball is crazy expensive, entry fee wise. Not to mention the increased Paint and Air expenses.

As cool as X-Ball is, and I have had the chance to see it first hand, I think the economics take us back to Super7. However, I do like the spectator friendliness that X-Ball lends to the mix.

I played the Huntington NPPL and got a chance to watch the PSP event in Pamona. X-ball is O.K. But I got bored after 2-3 games. They are very fast and they get repetitious. The player always go to the same bunkers and make the same moves. When I had the chance to watch Some Super 7 games what I noticed was they are also fast and with the different fields there was some variety. They also did not stall like 10 man games. Just my thoughts
