I can get cheap low grade paint if that is what everyone wants??? I can get whatever brand we need or the teams want.
The point is this...teams that elect to play x-ball tournaments will be getting a whole new experience and format.
If you play a standard 5-man NPPL tournament, how much paint do you use? You use what is necessary to eliminate your opponent! If your opponent is using a higher grade of paint than you, does that change the possible results of the game? Of course it could! If you have the desire and you are fortunate enough to play NPPL or PSP x-ball tournaments, they may have requirements about using field paint. At the present time, it would be hard to get paint sponsors to come to Utah Tournaments. If that would happen, then we could do a BYOP tournament. Can't do it right now! But you give us another day or so, we'll tell you how and why a lot of this BYOP will not be necessary!!!

I stand corrected on the BYOP issue. A lot of affiliate tournaments require the FPO because they may be faced with the same issues as we are - sponsors!

Sounds like a well thought out tournament. As u know I'm an advocate of trying to put teams in divisions by their ability. As I always said, why do u have to move to a better classification if u can't compete in the one u are already in? Good Job.

15 bps cap ramping all the way!!!

[Ozma_adam]

i say 15bps cap and full-auto.

no not full auto thats gay...i just think the standard 3 pull then ramp to 15 balls per second is fine....but do u have the equipment to enforce it?? if not then just make it normal regluations.

[TheDarkone]

Ya if you cant enforce it...that would be a problem, but if you can normal 15 bps rammping rules

[Ozma_adam]

full-auto... bc that way i can tell kids my gun has full-auto.

[Pale Rider]

Geez (heavy sigh) if you want F/A and ramping then how about letting me play with Thunder and Lighting. Caps at about 30BPS...it looks like 2 guns but really it's only one 😁 😛

In all truth the gun should not make the player. But the player make the gun. Semi-auto walk it as fast as you can. mY 2 BITS

[C Dawg]

the gun sure does help the player though.

[Ozma_adam]

are thunder and lightning two a-5 put togther. i dont know if you would want that in x-ball though.
