Known best for their presentation and showmanship, the NPPL has finally released the schedule for the 2008 season of seven man tournament paintball. One of the positive items about last year’s season was the Kansas City event featuring indoor play. Despite the poor reffing and biased calls, everyone had positive things to say about playing indoors.

NPPL has taken these comments to account and placed all events, except Huntington Beach, in NFL stadiums. Currently, the schedule seems open and somewhat well planned. There are currently no conflicts with the PSP’s 2008 schedule, however some players have already begun griping over event locations.

The NPPL is pleased to announce the confirmed venues and dates for the 2008 season - these superb venues will include four NFL stadiums plus the most popular paintball event in the world - Huntington Beach. All events will use the high quality artificial turf that the NPPL has provided for its players. The 2008 season will see major events in Texas as well as New York, with a strong draw from Toronto. Many more exciting announcements for the 2008 season to come!

One of the largest complaints is the lack of coverage for the middle states. The events are placed at the far East or West sides of the country with no mid-state coverage.

The only thing that is left to be determined is whether the new schedule from NPPL will conflict with the European Millenium series, which has yet to be released.
