IMHO, Dynasty needs to switch to the NXL. Why? Well, let me explain...
With the most recent NPPL event in New Jersey, there were complaints of numerous questionable calls made by the referees in reference to team Dynasty, and several players and non-players alike stating that a Dynasty team member was left on the field multiple times by the refs with obvious hits all over his body. Even with these hits, he ran down the field to pull and hang the flag for the team.
Now, this isn’t the first time that there have been issues raised regarding Dynasty allegedly cheating during a tournament. In 2002, two Dynasty team members were shooting members on the opposing team from the dead box at the Mardi Gras Open.
Now, here's the real beef in the situation:
Chuck Hendsch is the President of the NPPL. On January 14, 2002, Chuck Hendsch registered "National Professional Paintball League, Inc." with an address in Huntington Beach California. Chuck is the only agent listed on the corporation. He is also listed as the President of the corporation. There are no other names associated with "National Professional Paintball League, Inc."
Additionally, Mr. Hendsch is Captain and owner of Dynasty. So, if Dynasty screws up, and is forced to pay fines, where do they go? Well, to Chuck Hendsch, owner of Dynasty. Needless to say, there has been no mention of fines since the NPPL broke away from Paintball Sports Promotions in 2002.
And, lastly, Chuck Hendsch, as the sole representative of the NPPL, pays the referees that ref the games. Now, I'm not saying that he tells the referees to 'overlook' team Dynasty. But, recent and past complaints regarding team Dynasty may bring about that question among other teams of the league.
There is a clear conflict of interest here, and I think Dynasty should probably choose another league to play in or Chuck should step down as the President of the NPPL and turn the reigns over to someone else. The players perhaps? That's what the NPPL was originally created for anyway, wasn't it?
Call it a hunch, but look for Dynasty to win, again, at the next NPPL tournament.
