NPPL comes to Germany?

By marketing that leagues should be NPPL sanctioned to use the NPPL format, while simultaneously demanding payment for such sanctioning with few benefits, NPPL drives people AWAY from the format, not towards it.
And yet they are getting peeps on board despite the fact your reasoning is sound which suggests there must be other reasons in play. I can think of two.:) EDIT ADDED: Make that three.

I measure things in bullets. It would take 3 bullets, but if you were a skilled sniper with a very highpowered weapon you might be able to do it in 2. I would still take 3 bullets though, just in case.
Actually scratch that, I would need 2 full clips, as I would likely empty all remaining slugs into the shortest of the three 'marks' just to take out a little extra aggression.

Seems to me the feeder system works once people have to qualify to get into the NPPL proper at Div 2 or 3. Feeder circuits will get guaranteed spots in the divisions. I have to confess I am not up to speed with all the ins and outs, but I think its one of those things where people are spending a little money now because they feel there is value down the line. Of course this may not be the case, but no-one parts with their money unless they see value in it, much less multiple people, and there appear to be more and more people signing up for feeder events, so perhaps the 2 of you are missing some of the benefits, or just ignoring them, or are as unaware of the detail in the program as I currently am.

Overdosing on fudge again, Missy? Or simply struggling with reading comprehension?
I've already said there must be reasons for the feeder peeps to be signing up and stated I could think of three such reasons--one of which happens to be the first thing you suggested. Before you ask what the other two are you might want to think it thru.:)

I see, well then yes, maybe I misunderstood you. But Chicago misunderstood you first. Has HE been packing fudge? I mean, I only followed his own surmisal. Still my fault I suppose, as I should have realised he would be way off the play. Don't know why I keep giving him any credit really....

Well, if it's not the three reasons I can think of, would one of them be offering things they can't deliver on?

For example, from the Walker press release:

"The NPPL Official Feeder Series program offers ID cards, player tracking, ranking, team statistics and many other benefits to both the player and promoters."

NPPL doesn't actually provide any of those.

But it does provide luster by association and, I'm guessing, kickbacks for registering and collecting fees on any players not currently in the system. :)

Luster, maybe, but you'd be guessing incorrectly about kickbacks.
