Breaking paintball news and ProPaintball.com exclusive; Mike Hinman formally withdraws San Diego Aftermath from the USPL league.
Thank you for allowing us to play in your league. We will not be attending anymore of the USPL events.

San Diego Aftermath
Rest assured, San Diego Aftermath will continue to compete in the PSP raceball format. Any thoughts on what team will fill the vacant pro franchise in the USPL?

Someone said SDA was missing skills to play 7 man. Was it not just a year ago the won the Jax event?

ben brown you are dumb kid. aftermath had some problems with uspl staff when they got some gun penalty and they didnt want to hear hinmann out….something along those lines, thats my guess why they are out. if you were there you could see they were pissed.

My guess is they only intended to play this event. It was close to home and cheap. I highly doubt Hinman had any intentions to play the rest of the series. Regardless of what he told the USPL.

Dan Perez is an idiot. He lied straight faced to Tom Cole and said one of our guns was shooting three balls per trigger pull. Why would we put ourselves in the position to get fcked by this idiot again? We wish all of our friends in this league the best of luck.

it is what it is so don’t expect anymore out of it. what M.H. said is all we need to know. the why of it is between the so called league and M.H.
paintball is going to have hard times untill all of us stop acting like we know everything. let the sport breath again, if it can.
lets hope next year we have better paintball.
as for me this is only a wish but i would like to see M.H. run some sort of pro league even if it is small to start.at least it will be run professional.

There are 3 reasons that SDA quit the USPL.
1) The Dan Perez reason as listed above. I guess that he also said that because M.H. owns WCCPL doesn’t mean he can do what he wants.
2) The refs were underqualified
3) The league said that they wanted to put the PSP out of business, as well as other leagues.

The gun penalty was legit, I was standing right there
The fat mans gun on sda was shooting 3 to 4 shots every trigger pull, alot of bounce
That shouldn’t be a reason why they quit it was there fault
