USPL announces event dates

January 29, 2009 by Bill G.

The US Paintball League has announced Western Conference events in Huntington Beach, CA, San Jose, and our bet would be another stop in Socal. The Eastern Conference series begins in Washington D.C, Boston M.A, and is rumored to hold a grand finale in Miami, Fl. Instead of chasing an entire series around the country (eg. NPPL, PSP), the USPL has set up the event schedule and series to enable divisional teams to play the regional conference series (3 events total). Definitely a nice improvement for national paintball and should prove a much more cost effective way to compete “in the big leagues”.

Bart Yachimec of Edmonton Impact explained “we wanted to make sure teams who couldn’t afford to compete in all of the events still had a chance at earning a championship by only having to travel to one event. Just the same, teams who want to support the circuit by playing in most or all of the events will be rewarded with the opportunity to swap out some of the standings”.
