    You can look at the scheduled "big" games. TO going back to Philly, Harrington going back to Detroit on Thanksgiving, etc. to show that they try to boost the drama just by scheduling.

    The problem is I said WWE and too many instantly assumed I meant fake matches... not at all

      so what you were really trying to spin is the "rivalry" matches, try to show the bad blood between certain teams, and push the arguments within teams as well as with the refs or opposing teams both on and off the field? Most sports do try to angle some games like that alot, it could work, and they already have that in paintball too.

        Exactly, promote the drama that is already so prevelant in paintball.

              I can see some of the WWE type of elements beng usefull ... it also needs to be promoted more like football/basketball/baseball ... 1 governing body for all the leagues ... each team belongs to 1 league with a team owner and a roster of people to pick from. Tournaments being played like today but a ranking system keeping track of the top teams ... there would be a regular season of several tourneys, play off season with teams with the best season record/score, and then the superbowl type tournament pitting the best team from the leages against eachother...

                I think that would be taking it a bit far mmm? but still I know that that "SP World Championship" (If it can actually be called that) called the Atlanta/ jacksonville game was supposed to be a "rivalry" match. But I still say they should've bought up more air time and done a pre- and post- game show, to really delve into the history of the teams and their playing styles. you could even get into a "halftime report" with game making and breaking moves, and # of penalties per half, instead of trying to cram a game into forty minutes and skimming over every point you can in that time, like they're doing know. I say Screw it! allow the time to run on and build up the competetion, give a look at the field from both teams perspectives, what they consider to be their points to take.and key players to eliminate.

                  Yes, the one govering "leauge" Idea is a good one, in fact, it seems many feel the same way. This whole idea of over the top promotion could be something that could set a series apart from the others. With how we do tournaments now, generally speaking, what things would we have to add to exploit a XFL style promotion?

                  Example: The XFL introduced that sky-cam deal on a cable that later the NFL incorporated. The whole idea was to literally see the game in a different way... Which brings up the use of a jumbo-tron or something to be able to see replays, up close stuff, etc.
