Paintball Rules need to change if the sport expects to reach new heights

One of the most critical events of the Major League of Paintball season has concluded, and the results could have massive implications on the season championship race heading into the Champions Cup. Going into the event, San Diego Dynasty boasted a massive lead in the Pro standings behind their two event wins to open the season.

The Major League of Paintball is officially at the halfway point of the season, and the NXL is preparing for its third event of the year hosted in Royersford, just outside of Philadelphia.

The 2021 NXL season has seen a battle in the semi-pro division that has come down to the wire. With multiple teams all in contention to win

After yet another exciting event at the NXL Windy City Major, I begin to look back at everything that occurred this past weekend. Beneath all the incredible stories that emerged throughout the weekend; Dynasty's win in dominant fashion, Columbus LVL going 4-0 and making their first Sunday, major programs like Impact and Heat missing the finals, or even the cinderella run from the short-handed Baltimore Revo roster, I find my mind elsewhere. Even with all these astonishing st
