I have 1 question for Baca are you Baca from Paco.

As far and me and Robbo go I don't think we decided whether it will be a slow dance or a fast one. Especaily on the first date. I am old fashion that way.

See you soon Baca.

C'mon, J. There is only one Baca. :rolleyes: For which you should all be grateful. But yes, you're in the neighborhood however it's the junior member of the firm that reps the 727.

Watch out whatever the dance. Robo insists on leading and he's got three left feet.

Looking forward to it. :)

Tell Billy that now a days they have these pills that'll help that condition. Pumps are cumbersome, very un-sexy, and so outdated.

Better yet, let him go. Sounds like a match made in heaven.
HAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAAAA! Lane, you always make me laugh!
Graham- Is Adam shaking his head because of the NPPL or because Billy is playing with pumps?

As far as the 2007 NPPL goes, I would not be surprised to see Millennium rules slowly take hold in time, although my vote would be for Greg Hastings video game rules- best of three, highest cumulative score wins. As for ramping, as much as I hate to conceded anything the the old crazy cow, ramping might become part of the deal!

* First public statement affirms 7-man paintball is the wave of the future and way more media friendly than Xball.
I would predict the opposite. But that is based on my opinion that a match format is far better than a single game format. Both for player enjoyment, the continued development of our hobby into a sport (and no, I don't think we are quite there yet.), and for the spectator. I've always thought that the NPPL/PP couldn't admit this because it would mean admitting they were wrong. With a change of ownership, that could be re-spun as the old owners were wrong, allowing a change.
Let's hear what you got. Be cynical, Be optimistic. Go crazy.
OK, I'm gonna go nuts with one last prediction: The new ownership of the NPPL reopens the possibility of re-unification with the PSP. :cool:

Steve, this prediction makes no sense at all mate, these guys have gone in and bought the NPPL (for whatever sum) and will be trying to make a go of it under the new guidance of Shawn Walker.
The last thing they are gonna do is throw in with the PSP guys because it would mean giving up total control of what they just bought into, nah, that ain't gonna happen now I'm afraid.

Steve you still miss the point players like Xball because its fast and they get to play / shoot lots. Spectators get board watching the teams do the samething point after point they dont get the suttelties (please sendme the spelling for that) of the changes in the game plan.

7 Man is grate to watch the games are easier to watch everything is usally at a reasonable pace (unless the Raiders are playing then they just run down the field faster then the other team can take off there arm bands) and if you have ever seen an NPPL crowd during finals day its really awsome watching the spectators get behined the teams. And for TV its easy to edit them down to a 4/5 minute game they just cut out some of the sitting back and laneing

I like fast games and won't mind a few more of those this coming year but I'm not counting on it. Top to bottom the competition doesn't get any tougher. You can be sure we will do our best to play an aggressive game regardless.
