If it is X Ball or if it is some variation of the format I've heard discussed then let me suggest some obvious drills:

finishing the game quickly

planning and implementing power-plays

one on two or three and two or three on one, with short time left and not letting the clock run out without doing something

and most any basic gunfighting skills

The point here, like Robbo keeps saying, is to practice offensive PB, not counter-punch.

Keep that principle in mind and you will be safe for any format that's likely to come.

I havent read the whole thread so forgive me if im just repeating somebody else..

I am totally in favour of a Pro vs Pro superleague, not only does this allow for better spectating but it means that AM B teams will have the chance to play an Am A team or 2 to see how well they play against them.

If they put up a good fight against them - maybe go Am A next season or stick around Am B for another season.

If they destroy them hands down - Step Up.

If they get their asses handed to them on a stick - Stay Am B.

Its a big risk for an Am B team to step up to Am A if they are not completely sure whether they are good enough for it, so if we play it like this, it gives them a little taster of Am A.

Your thoughts?

i disagree with you, its not as if the drills/training that a team does would change when whats happening next year is announced. Its still gonna be 'shoot the other guys out as fast as you can'. All the drills are gonna be the same, snap shooting drills, breakout drills, sliding, etc..... . Everyone just wants to know because we are all impatient.:D
sorry mate, but the finer details that could change are where games are won and lost too, like were the breakout is started (infront, behind, guns touching, guns down - some examples), if the flags are going to be centre flag, one at each end or both, can you win the game without shooting all just by grabbing the flag! are there points benefits if you win early? loads of rumours of things such as this and these are areas that give you that 1% if you practice them, and you know what 100 x 1% equal!

plus it is always easier to get motivated about the following season and yor training during horrible wet and cold days when you know what you are doing it for!

Sorry I'm late posting on this thread, teams like mine really need this superleague idea to work. I think the NXL is full of talented players but just because you dont play the NXL doesnt make you a second rate team or player.(We proved that by winning the 5 man world cup by competing agaist some NXL teams)
I'm tired proving that we are a legit pro team that plays in a legit league.This is why Teams like dogs,dynasty,nexus,legion,tontons,company,joy,uglyducks,storm ect........
should jump aboard and commit to something like this.

I completly agree. We need to form a super league! I think the format taking the scores from the best of 6 could work. We will travel over seas next season.

There needs to be some kind of qualification to turn pro, maybe taking the top 16 teams and at the end of the season the bottom 4 drop and that lets the top 4 ams get a spot.
Also in the pro div there needs to be a contract that will state a TEAM will make a certain number of events.

IMHO:
Better format (similer to x-ball or robbo's proposal)
Pro vs Pro's (this can be good and bad, some lower class teams come to events for a chance to beat up a pro)
Pro Teams need to travel to overseas. (5 us 6 EU) US teams need to make at least Euroupe events and vise versa for the Eu teams.
Pro Player need some kind of rule where guesting on other teams for events that there team is either reffing or NOT attending is strictly PRoHibitED.


My 2 cents.

Thanks
Roc
