Hey guys I wonder if any of you can help me... I'm writing a short article for our forum on paintball-specific jargon, and not entirely sure myself on some things... If I post up a list of abbreviations, and example of how I've answered a previous one, could you give me a hand?

These ones are about the different tournament leagues, formats and game ideas... If you can think of any other ones, please post them up too... I always get a mental blank when I need to actually think about something...

Cheers in advance!!!

Well for larger, kind of feeder leagues....

CFOA: Carolina Field Owners Association, located on the East coast/southeast part of American. Basically PSP format but played through several states down there.

XPSL: I don't know what it stands for, but it is part of the west coast tourney series. Basically another PSP feeder event, but it has teams all over the US.
