Xballlive.com. It’s time.
Per our story yesterday – this is the league backed by Bart Yachimec, Richmond Italia, Mike Hinman, Dave Bains and Steve Rabackoff. This league will be a direct competitor to the Paintball Sports Promotions (PSP) league and the 2015 season will be a very interesting battle for your attention and support.
Long time players will recall that in the early 2000’s another league existed with the name “NXL” and the format played was X-ball. This league was kicked off by one of the current NXL owner’s, Richmond Italia.
Giant X’s in center field, full auto guns, and long matches were how the game was played then. The NXL was run at PSP events and acted as a pro division while the PSP ran an open/semi pro division. After the 2008 World Cup, ProPaintball.com broke news that the PSP parted was going to part ways with the “NXL”. In 2009 opted to brand the professional division as “PSP Pro”. The game has evolved considerably since then with multiple rate of fire, match time and format changes. While the NXL of old was fun to play, and the current PSP Race-To format is a blast, we can assure you more change is in the works.
This is only the begining. Be sure to stay tuned to ProPaintball.com for the latest paintball news, gossip and gear.
