Yeah, but 3-man is definitely not what I want paintball as we know it to be. And I was all for 10-man, 5-man, 7-man and X-Ball.

it's another new format and worth giving a try. mainstream television to showcase competitive paintball can only be a good thing.

and lets face it, it's good enough for the Naughty Dogs, Dynasty, Xsv and the rest to show their faces.

I'm with Chi town on this one in that I welcomed the previous changes made to the format and whilst I applaud what has been done here because at the very least, it brings paintball to the masses, I just don't want any WWF style of promotion and perception going on here.
WWF whilst masquerading as a sport is nothing more than a cheesy show with the competitive aspect being completely lost amid glitter, glitz and complete bollocks.
We are a sport, competition lies at the very heart of any sport and Yank TV seems to have this unerring habit of *******ising anything for the sake of ratings.....not exactly where I want our sport to be.
 
World Paintball League

One does have to marvel at the arrogance that can once again create a World League by bringing together a load of American teams and a couple of token Cannuks.......World Series anyone??? (sorry, no johnny foreigners allowed)

Come off it dude - every event in Paintball is tha world this or tha Euro that without any justification whatsoeva. Toulouse was tha 7-Man World Cup way before it actually had tha sort of teams attending to warrant that title - if indeed it ever did. And didn't you Brits used to have a world 5-Man that featured about 30 domestic teams?

It's a Paintball thang and always has been. Personally, given A - tha teams it's got and B - the fact that it is actually on the tube, it has every right to call itself whatever tha hell it likes as far as I'm concerned.

Mick Holdaway used to hold a World Speedball Championship every year in the early 90's that usually featured one french team:rolleyes:
