John Dresser of PBnation pointed out earlier today that the NXL has updated their 2017 rules to include the following: 10.3.4 – Players will be eliminated if their chinstrap becomes unfasten during gameplay. 12.1.3 – Eliminations: Failure to wear or fasten goggles chinstrap during the game period. This whole chinstrap business started at the NXL Great Lakes open, that took place in August of last year. Trevor Resar of Infamous, collided with Chris Lloyd of Boom. The…
Paintball news for the week of January the 23rd. ohhh yeah..Dalton went to Impact. Oops. NXL Mechanical Division – https://paintballruinedmylife.com/2017/01/23/nxl-mechanical-division-weird/ Fedorov Head to Breakout Spa – https://paintballruinedmylife.com/2017/01/28/fedorov-heads-breakout-spa/ Archie Montemayor to the TonTons – https://paintballruinedmylife.com/2017/01/24/archie-montemayor-tontons/ Eddie Painter Joins AC Dallas – https://paintballruinedmylife.com/2017/01/23/eddie-painter-joins-ac-dallas/
Breakout Spa just added perhaps one of the best free agents on the market. Free agent for the Millennium, anyway. Fedorov’s move to Breakout Spa will be for the Millennium Series only and he will remain with Houston Heat for the NXL. Houston Heat will not be playing in the Millennium this year, thus allowing Fedorov and other Houston Heat players available for the European series. Breakout Spa lost Archie Montemayor earlier in the week.
My memory is a bit blurry on this…so take most of what I say with a grain of salt. The video above was from the NXL/PSP World Cup in Orlando. I think in 2004? The sad part is that I was at the tournament 🙂 The NXL then was backed mainly by a Dick Clark owned production company, and the above video was a first attempt to get the NXL televised. It obviously, failed.
Dave Bains of Edmonton Impact is set to be Impacts full-time coach. Over the last two years, Bains has slowly been transitioning out of a playing role and into a coaching position. Last year Bains travelled to all the Millennium events, but didn’t not play, he was only found on the sidelines calling plays and giving direction. He did however suit up at the NXL events, but scarcely played. Bains is one of the best players that the sport has ever seen, so…
Dalton Vanderbyl has moved to the beast in the north. Vanderbyl started his professional paintball career on San Diego Aftermath, Aftermath was a power house team that brought up players like: Vanderbyl, Alex Goldman, Marcelo Margott, Raney Stanczak and Bobby Aviles. Playing on Aftermath, Vanderbyl was around the Dynasty player a lot, so joining the team in 2011 was a natural fit. Vanderbyl though never really found his place on the team filled with superstars. Yeah, he would have some good…
Archie Montemayor paintball super star will be leaving his Belgium team and Joining, French team TontTon Flingueur (I don’t think they use the Flingueur part anymore, but they should). The move to the TonTons will only be for the Millennium Series in Europe; Montemayor will still be playing with San Antonio X-Factor in the states. Montemayor moves to the TonTons is likely because Alexander Berdnikov will be playing with Russian Legion in the CPL (Champions Paintball League).…
