Was it Xball lite? or full thing?

Would be great to have an Xball league if it's viable.
Full X-ball, it was trialled in the morning with 7 man teams (carnage) and in the afternoon with the normal 5 man teams.

Paint cost was an eye opener but having played the format now I really wouldn't ever like to play a different format again (but then all those who have played X-ball previously already feel that way).

I think cost and squad size would make it an impossible venture for the entire PA team base for next season. I believe however the PA are investigating all the options at present for the 2006 season.

Agreed, I loved it last year but I hated the amount of organisation it takes, a domestic series "might" be easier.

Fair play, we'll see which they jump.

5 man is certainly the way to go!
The 7 man was alot of fun though, I just can't imagine many teams getting a squod of 20 players for a season, 12 is still a challenge but more achievable.
Having only 8 players certainly made the turn arounds 'tight'!

i thought the whole thing was ace thanks to fat bobs leeds for inviting me and jamie down

5 man would be the way to go the only probs have been mentioned already need at least 10 ppl and you need spare everything also we shot 28 boxes of paint in 2 matches

so between the 9 of us it worked out at 107 each arrrggghh, having said that we palyed more games than like 3 normal tourneys

How about a one off Xball tourney then so teams can join together etc and people would'nt mind the extra cost as its a one off

Xball is something everything should try once it is awesome :p
