European Paintball Federation
Firstly, we can only apologise for the delay in getting this season’s information out to you. Last week we held a meeting to decide the structure for this year, and also spoke with NXL who are kindly allowing us to use their venues in 2018 to host the Nation’s Cup events.
The order of events will remain the same as last season, this being Veterans, Ladies, Men’s and both the Under19s and under 16s at the final event. We have reduced entry fees for both affiliate and none affiliates and this year we will hold each event as a World Cup once again for 2018.
The biggest change we are making is to that of the structure of the Ladies event, which is moving to a dual format event. We will be running a 3man, race 2 division and also continuing the 5man, race 4 division. This will hopefully allow greater access for more countries and become an amazing showcase event for ladies’ paintball. Larger nations can also enter both a 5man and 3man team if they so desire.
Furthermore, after talks with NXL, we are now going to run all nations events on the Thursday and Friday evening ONLY. We want to give the event more focus, not only for the players who often also play on their domestic squads, but for the spectators and webcast viewers, with a whole day dedicated to Nation’s Cup games. In the past there have been issues with conflicting schedules, and two evenings of very late games in order to squeeze everything in. We hope this will be a better solution for all.
