But basically it's 8 teams:

Baltimore Trauma
Chicago Aftershock
Detroit Thunder (The Crossman franchise)
Los Angeles Ironmen*
Miami Effect LaSoya's
New York Xtreme
Oakland Intimidators*
Philadelphia Americans

So no Strange or Dynasty.

Thoughts?

Woot!
So that means Strange, Dynasty, Avalanche, can all come to play here! Who else does that leave?

Sorta says something about X-Ball when two of the top teams in the world are playing somewhere else if ya ask me....Now I understand all about the sponsors and franchises but it seems to me like they should have tried their damndest to get those teams in.....


:EDIT:And it says Nicky Cuba is playing on the L.A. Ironmen and that teams will be playing against European X-Ball teams...

:ANOTHER EDIT:are they really playing games at this years Toulouse and if they are,WHY??...Can anyone confirm this??Some of it just doesnt seem right

Euro X ball teams at the Cup

That'll be great, seeing the finest Europe has to offer to square up against the big bad ol' yanks in their own yard......hang on, this sounds cool but, correct me if I'm wrong, WE DON'T HAVE A X BALL LEAGUE YET!!!!

Will we ever get one??

If we do, it needs to happen real soon otherwise when it comes to the Cup we will embarass ourselves as the seasoned X-Ball teams from the States will crucify us. And lets realise one thing here that paintball is dominated by the Yanks and it's probably one of the only chances we're gonna get to compete and learn with them from the off, look at the baseball 'World series', Yanks only there. We need to take this opportunity to be a part of a growing sport, otherwise we'll be left out in the cold and we'll never catch up, making X-Ball an American dream for everyone.

Asses handed to us? By who - the NXL teams will only play each other...

 

[acsik]

May I quote?

"In Orlando, in addition to the crowning of a NXL™ Champion, the top teams from the NXL™ will compete against the top European X Ball™ teams to crown a “World Champion”.

and also they will be here in Tulouse


now

Since this Nations Cup thingy seems a bit odd for moi..
And its effectively circumvents mixed nations teams wich would stand a chance......


the rest is easy to figure.

Correct me if Im wrong!!
