Alright, as I posted elsewhere...while it's not much, if the NXL *is* paying each team $20,000 to go to the players, then they are paying something and the exclusivity contract is valid.
I take back what I said earlier.
I take back what I said earlier.
I don't have to like it, but...
I suppose NXL does have the right to say where "their" players can play. I just hate to see Millennium or NPPL get a whole lot less American pro teams because of all this. Whatever the case, I hope NXL does have the media breakthrough that we all want. Maybe some short-term sacrifices are necessary for the long-term success. (I hate to say that Chris Raehl is right about anything!

Chris- in regards to this statement....
2- The teams have to live up to the league's requirements, that's part of the franchisee's contract. In that sense, they HAVE bought the teams - a McD's franchise owner does not get to also own a burger king.
Number 1, I don't know for sure if you are correct in that assumption, and number 2, even if it is so, it is not to say that the the employees of the franchise owner cannot eat anywhere they want to.
As burried in paintball as I have found myself, will I spend my alloted paintball funds paying to watch X-Ball, nope, so I don't know how many people who are not "into" it will pay.
For the last almost 20 years I have been involved in youth sports and I was hoping this split would be similar to Little League vs Pony baseball. Painful for the first year or 2, but in the long run better for everyone. At different levels and for different players, one is better than the other (ie, if you are a pitcher, the rules in Pony are more like "real" baseball, and it is difficult enough for a kid to get the ball over the plate, without worrying about runners stealing, hence Little League is a better choice until they develop). There is no saying you must play this league, it is the players choice, as it should be in paintball.
Sadly, I am with those of you on this board who believe this is done in spite. From a sponsors point of view, I would have to think the more exposure from all events, the better.
Fortunately, we are a West Coast team, with sponsors who are not making us choose. We will play the first 4 events, and then decide who is giving us the best "product" for our dollars. In the meantime, our sponsors will benefit from having our team all all 4 events, instead of only 2.
I promise to take a trip down to Huntington next week and let you all know how it's looking!

Oh Steve!!!
Maybe you should bump it up when it actually reaches 70
But this week should see the final influx of teams making thier payments for the event..Im really hoping the reports of Nexus and the Legion going to HB are true..it would definately make the Pro div. at HB much much better...And maybe even Strange will be getting into the mix...Either way its gonna be good...
-6
And if Nexus shows up maybe Robbo will run into Raehl..Now wouldnt that be fun

My NEAR VISION ain't what it used to be. I wonder if one team didn't drop by the time I cut and pasted it. DOH!Originally posted by headrock6
