NXL talk about a suprise!

[SundayPaintball]

another thing to think about...

your clothing line is all about the winners circle on sundays. i like that

xball dosent have that. every tourny, an xball team plays 3 or 4 games tops, and it dosent mean anything until the end of the season

in other tournament series (NPPL, Millenium, etc) you have that week long struggle through the semis, and the best play on sundays to see who is the best team. i like that

regarding that same chris lasoya interview i talked about earlier, he mentioned that he missed that feeling of making it to sunday, that xball was a bunch of meaningless games against the same teams

but if you look at other sports, they are not played the same way. its not like the NFL has 5 or 6 tournaments a year to see whos the best. games are played througout the year

maybe xball is paintballs evolution

That cool that you know what Sunday means. It is what a lot of us strive for every tournament and its a unexplainable thing that we play for.

I think XBall is the future. I love playing XBall every chance I get and its a total rush vs. regular paintball.

I know the NXL had the tournament style set-up this event, anyone know how this went?

i just checked out your clothes, sunday. they are really cool, and cheap too, unlike other guys. free plug for you

sunday, to answer one of your questions in the article....

the new miami effect is the amateur All Americans (All As 2)
their coach is former Philly Americans player Rody McDowell
they were a decent amateur team

i slightley disagree with your article. their has been a huge amount of xball coverage, even now. the slightest changes made are published in magazines and in internet sites.

xball is still a pipe dream, but it may still bear fruit. even if it becomes a regular fixture on some tv station (ESPN 2 will be airing World Cup, as well as episodes for a new show featuring games) the non paintballing public may not like or understand what they are watching

richmond italia's original concept was a form of paintball that could be shown on tv and a non playing viewer could understand it. thats his words.

the problem i have with xball is the fact that there are only nine teams playing. three of those teams only started playing xball this year. i like the idea of having franchises, but the money just isnt there yet

paintball isnt there yet, period. im not talking about the bad sportsmanship, people seem to like that. its about cheating guns that shoot twenty a second. its about the rule changes every month. its about companys owning not only the teams but the tournament series they play under.

if you think about it, the NXL is owned by 3 companys: National, Smart Parts and DYE. although this sounds strange that a whole tournament series is owned by only three companies, think of the NPPL. who really owns and runs the NPPL? one company, Pure Promotions. and who, ladies and gentlemen, owns and operates Pure Promotions??? WDP

i think xball may have more of a chance then nppl. we shall see

Um, you know Dick Clark bought the NXL and is putting it on tv in the next year or two?

[SundayPaintball]

That was said over a year ago it was coming to TV. Did anyone see any of the ESPN cameras?

[Head knight of Ni]

Yes. December 9? on ESPN 2.

[WARPED1]

No, no. Dick Clark productions said theyd air the NXL season in 2 years or so. I got to meet Mr. Clark in July at the Orlando Cup. I forget what he changed the name to, but he said it was coming. But it won't be NXL.

[adt501]

um, dick clark bought the tv rights to nxl, not the nxl itself. big difference

You've got it right. The NXL finals weren't near as fun to watch as the Infamous vs RL game to get to the finals.

the game before OT w/ 45 seconds left was unreal.

that match was a blast to watch.. wish they went on to win the rest of the tournament :[

Poor Infamous was so close to the win with only those last 15 seconds. He was about to get that last guy or the cap., when HOOOOONK OT.
