Join us Sunday, January 29th on the Mountain for a day of tactical delight.

Read all about it here on the event thread…

Stay with me for a moment, as I am going to explain some obvious things before I reach my true question; Paintball has struggled to find its identity on the main stage. Paintball has failed over the past 30 years to find some sort of uniformity other than its simplicity… point the gun.. I mean marker, pull the trigger and eliminate your opponent. For such a simple concept, much like throw a ball, kick a ball, score a touch down, or score a goal, we have failed to agree on the sports “mainstream” version we’re going to promote. NPPL, PSP, Macaroni and cheese, what have you, we have one sport, with many different leagues contending for center stage and what’s the big difference?

Are there two NFL’s? How about NBA’s? MLB’s? Why on earth are there 2 national paintball leagues and about to be a third? Where have we gone wrong here? The image paintball portrays on a national level (my opinion), is that paintball is confused as a whole. One minute it’s this, playing under these rules and the next it’s something else, kinda similar but not. Where are you paintball?

I hope this new league is as great as everyone claims. I hope it either is so amazing people switch to playing it with a sense of urgency or on the flip, it fails quickly instead of slowly drawing more and more people and the sport apart.

We need, the sport needs, uniformity if we ever want to play in the real big leagues, where money is made, where people want to watch and companies actually pay to advertise, then we need “A” standard. Until then, national leagues and the majority of “professionals” of these leagues will continue to be part time desk jockeys during the day and 30,000 dollar millionaires at night.

So, in the future, I hope someone can answer the following questions: What does this league bring that’s so different? Is it the format? Is it the cost? Is it the giant financial backing that will bring it to the mainstream? Is it the sound business plan, market research and management team thats going to develop it into a mainstream market? Is it a little different from most, just “more” fun? (which there’s nothing wrong with). Or is it truly what tournament paintball has been waiting for?

Given this is PbNation, I’m sure someone is going to read my post in a malicious manor, call me a dirty name and tell me to mind my own business (being that most know me as a figure in the outlaw ball community). I assure you that this post is not meant for that reason. I wish everyone luck, I hope it succeeds if it’s what’s good for the mass and ultimately stabilizes the tournament scene.

“Surrender or Die”
It’s been 5 years since it happened. It was talked about for a long time. Many dedicated their entire lives to try to warn the world of its coming, but not even the best experts knew it would come this soon. Everyone just wanted the dream to last forever. Now were living in a nightmare.
It took us less than 12 months to exhaust our security oil reserves. Not nearly enough time to change the ways of more than 300 million Americans who grew up with the comforts of SUVs, McDonalds, IPods and American Idol. Humans relied on oil for so long that once it was gone, they didn’t know how to live without it. Most didn’t know what real work was and never realized that a gallon of gasoline is the equivalent of about 600 man hours of work.
Suddenly, the air was still and quiet. Huge airport terminals were empty and now just graveyards for these giant birds that once ruled the skies all around the world. There were no more stock markets. Ferrari’s and Hummer’s were now just pieces of scrap with little if any value. No big screen TVs, Xboxes’ or PC computers. That world was gone.
Tractors ran dry on farms and we weren’t able to transport food to grocery stores anymore. Who grows their own food? Not many people even knew how? Famine set in quickly, and millions starved. Hospitals dried up in medical supplies to fight the diseases that quickly followed and killed millions more. Blackouts became commonplace and all struggled to keep their homes warm. Many couldn’t and froze to death. Chaos quickly ensued, and civil war broke out in every country, especially in the bigger cities around the world where the land could not provide what was needed to live, and millions more were murdered in their struggle for survival. It was every man for himself. Only the Strong Survive.
In Oregon, 2 Militia’s formed, the Militia #1 one controlling the Northern half of Oregon, Militia #2 controlling the Southern Half, Central Oregon was designated the DMZ. Now, after a recent rumor that there is a secret Military Facility with an abundant amount of supplies disguised as a Town hidden in the High Desert of Central Oregon, the 2 Militias will once again square off in the DMZ and fight hard to be the first to get their hands on it. There’s just one thing standing in their way…The “old” military…Only the strong survive.
