Trying to increase intrest in Paintball. The national league is the NPPL, and the collegiate league is the NCPA. Anybody interested in the sport, SPEAK UP, please

I didn't know there were (I assume pro) leagues around. I sometimes see it on ESPN and it looks fun.

Are there any widely recognized top players in the sport?

I've watched a lot of NPPL tournaments on ESPN, and found them to be quite entertaining. Personally, I think they should change the shape and size of the "battlefields", but I love watching the teams pull off successful strategies. Very cool.

Ollie Lang. Last year he lead the San Diego Dynasty to yet another national championship. This year he is with the Los Angeles Iron Men.

There are also some European teams in the NPPL. The Stockholm joy and the London Tigers to name some.

There is also a European league. The US has been alowed to have one team in this league, just to make things fun. The Philly All-Americans.

I know just enough to be dangerous, thanks to my co-workers...yesterday I learned its not a gun...its a "Marker"...and they have World type Tournaments for this...also you are best to fire diagnally across the field, not really head on...etc...like I said only enough to be dangerous...

The shape of the feild changes with every event. It makes things more interesting. The World Paintball Championships are to be televised on ESPN2 this Sunday.

Sounds awesome. But, I'm not sure if I can watch it on Christmas.

I'm recording it. I realized that it's at 2 in the morning or something. but they usually show a lot of reruns, so it works out both ways.

I would love to try it. I see it on ESPN, and am intrigued. It would be really fun to try although I never have.
