What will 2003 Bring?

[Baca Loco]

We got's us a real life PB war, kids, and it's turning into a snooze fest. And I'm bored--so let's start predicting where paintball will be by the end of the year.

Categories--
Best Event.
Best Series.
Biggest Disappointment.
Biggest Surprise.
Television or no television?
Will the NXL survive?
Will RL win an event this year?
Who wins the PB war?

You wanna add a category--go for it. And get to predicting--I will dredge this thread up at the end of the year--and declare a winner. While you're at it you can predict what prize you'll win, too.
