Exciting Tournament News!

[Velocity2]

There are some interesting things happening with the PSP X-Ball Tournament play!
Interested X-Ball players should go to the PSP web site. PSP will also be adding some additional updates shortly.
Velocity Paintball will be following the PSP rules, divisions, and formats. This includes the size of the playing field which we will have to adapt to.
Therefore, we suggest that you become accustomed to that.
There is a strong possibility of us doing a 2X2 tournament. Two events would be 3-man and then moving the best 3-man teams into 5 man X-Ball events. By 2007, we would be doing mainly 5-man X-Ball.
Finally, if we can pull this off, Velocity Paintball would like to field a 5-man X-Ball team to the San Diego PSP event in August of 2006.

There are some changes to the X-Ball formats discussed through this forum and through other discussions:
First, there will be no 3-Man X-Ball tournaments at Velocity Paintball.
Second, Velocity Paintball will follow as closely as possible to the PSP rules, formats, classifications, etc., for the X-Ball tournaments.
Third, we suggest that you address questions/inquires, etc. through the Velocity Forum regarding the various tournaments being held at Velocity. The 801 forum use by Velocity will continue, but we can better serve the Advisory Board and others who do not use the 801 forums. The Velocity Forum will be released this evening, 1/4/06.
The forum is basic for now and upgrades on the forum will be ongoing.
Forth, constant new information is being added to the Velocity Website and a lot of new exciting information for the paintball players will be released on that site this week.
Finally, back to X-Ball. We have come up with a program that will help with any questions or mis-respresentations concerning the costs of the X-Ball tournaments, and this includes paint! We invite you to keep visiting the Velocity Website for this, and all information regarding the X-Ball tournaments.
Thanks....

UPDATE:

We now have 3 refs that are PSP X-ball Certified to ref our events. We havent set a date yet, but we will be holding a free ref clinic for anybody that would be interested in learning the X-ball reffing format.

An important note that we wanted to make is that we are altering the time format and roster format (with PSP permission) to allow for A roster of 5-7 people. We will allow a longer time-out inbetween game points, and it will be a shorter period, 10 minutes instead of 15.

For more information, just keep checking our web-site: http://www.playATvelocity.com/forums

We will also be doing an open registration at BadAss Paintball on the 11th of february 1689 North Main, Sunset. We will be there all day answering questions about the X-ball format, game play, and taking registration forms for those teams that have them completed already. We will have refreshments, raffle, and a fun time in a fun environment, so come join us!

I do have a 10 man PSP team will we be able to still roster all 10? Will all of the other teams have to purchace ID cards. Will these be a PSP sanctioned event? BYOP? I ask this because we have a sponsor that supplies our PSP paint. Thanks

skinny,
Yes to the roster. What was the last PSP tournament you played in? Yes, all other teams will need PSP I.D. We are now affiliated with PSP.
However, the PSP has not been fully established in the Intermountain area, and so this year and next is the team formations and further classification period for all interested teams in this area.

I will send you a PM on the BYOP and concerning your sponsor for that paint.

As a note, people have been asking about the airball field and when it will be open for tournament practice. We will not open the airball field until April. Or whenever the grass is recooped from winter.
