Can You Be a Professional Paintball Player?
Are you good enough at paintball to get to the big show? Chances are if you have all the most expensive equipment and spend all your waking hours either thinking about or playing paintball, you are a candidate for the U.S. Paintball League (http://www.uspaintballleague.com).
Sixteen Professional Teams put up their own money to form the US Paintball League (USPL), now headquartered in Huntington Beach, California. The US Paintball League has purchased all the trade marks and rights to the National Professional Paintball League (NPPL) Super 7 World Series, recognized as one of the world's best paintball leagues. The redesigned player-owned league under the USPL banner is dedicated to growing the sport of paintball across the United States by offering 7-man play from Division 3 to the Professional level in addition to a division of 5-man play.
The following teams will be competing in the 2009 Pro Division:
• Chicago Legend
• D.C. Arsenal
• Edmonton Impact
• Indianapolis Mutiny
• Los Angeles Infamous
• Miami Rage
• Oakland Blast
• O.C. Bushwackers
• Phoenix United
• Sacramento XSV
• San Antonio X-Factor
• San Diego Dynasty
• San Jose Explicit
• Scottsdale Elevation
• St. Louis Avalanche
• Tampa Bay Damage
U.S. Paintball League is a player run organization that governs Paintball tournaments and play. The USPL in conjunction with the Pro Team Association hosts yearly events in the U.S. where Paintball teams compete and are awarded points in four divisions (Professional, Division I, Division II and Division III) to determine an overall Paintball champion in each division. The USPL is committed to setting rules, standards and guidelines for safe, competitive, fair Paintball competitions worldwide.
This year's remaining events include the West Coast Open in Corona, California July 24-26, The D.C. Challenge in Aldie, Virginia August 28-30, and The World Championships in Las Vegas, Nevada October 16-18. Competitions are sometimes aired on ESPN2, so if you make it on a team you might make it on TV, too. The USPL has some serious sponsors, but you will still have to pay to register a team if you want to get a shot at making it to the professional ranks.
Prices range from $1,100 for a Division 3 5-man entry to $2,350 for a Division 1 7-man entry. Early bird specials are available up to June every year, so if the fees are a problem you might want to think about registering for next year when those early bird rates come around again. You can save up to $350 if you plan ahead. Professional players are added to teams by invite only, so you will have to prove yourself first.
The Eastern and Western Conference titles for every division will be determined by each team's top three scores (The DC Challenge in August must be included to win the Eastern Conference and the West Coast Open must be included to win the Western Conference). All 16 Professional teams will be competing in each event this season. The top three pro teams going into the West Coast Open are: DC Arsenal (21 points), Dynasty (19 points), and Oakland Blast (17 points).
For more information about getting involved or attending an event, call 714-858-1923, or email info@uspaintballleague.com.

Hopper $14.99 Now in rich color, thirty of American painter Edward Hopper’s masterpieces with critiques from acclaimed poet Mark Strand. Strand deftly illuminates the work of the frequently misunderstood American painter, whose enigmatic paintings—of gas stations, storefronts, cafeterias, and hotel rooms—number among the most powerful of our time.   In brief but wonderfully compelling comments accompanying each painting, the elegant expressiveness of Strand’s language is put to the service of Hopper’s visual world. The result is a singularly illuminating presentation of the work of one of America’s best-known artists. Strand shows us how the formal elements of the paintings—geometrical shapes pointing beyond the canvas, light from unseen sources—locate the viewer, as he says, “in a virtual space where the influence and availability of feeling predominate.”   An unforgettable combination of prose and painting in their highest forms, this book is a must for poetry and art lovers alike. From the Hardcover edition. |
