Full points for creativity - but your marks for transparancy are unfortunately just as high :D

Be carefull though - someday a curious Mod will check your IP and out you......... maybe you should try Smacktalk instead - people on there will believe anything..... :p

Nick, there is a rumour that Dick Clark has sold his paintball interests to Disney and a programme will be made concerning itself with two teams readying themselves for the NXL, it takes no great leap of the imagination as to exactly what two teams would be used.
In 3 weeks time, we might know the full details of this, if in fact there is any substance in this but I certainly wouldn't disregard it just because 'intheno' has hinted at it, he has very good sources Nick, believe me.

I think gyroscope touched on this issue but I see a very simple solution. Take the players that you think it will take to win 7man (and possibly div1 xball) and at the same time use the NXL as a training camp for the coming season(s). Since you have to prepare a team to participate in the NXL, make it a team who is learning. After that 1 or 2 years when they have finally secured a TV deal bring all the old NXL players back and mesh them with your newly devoloped NXL talent. You now have a larger pool of players to pull from to form your new NXL team that will rake in the money.

Some more positives:
1) You have a team that is not as talented as your old NXL team competing against current NXL teams. This doesn't allow lower end NXL teams to have such a great learning curve as they would have had playing the best NXL had to offer. It will also turn the learning curve around. You'll have players learning from the better NXL teams who stuck around.

2) The fans/readers won't forget who your big name players are by the time the NXL goes to TV because there are a lot of new paintball players out there and they don't exactly know what happened with paintball in the 90's.

3) They would be able to save money by not paying the NXL players a salary when the teams aren't pulling in any money from the events (NXL). But they'd also be spending more on playing more events but You wouldn't really need to carry an NXL roster of 15 either.
