We at PaintballX3, as graduates of the PCRI (look it up) school of paintball reporting, love looking for trends, statistics and other “between the lines” information in the world of tournament paintball. To this end we’ve been keeping track of the manufacturers supporting the teams that are winning in the pro ranks of the NPPL and PSP in 2010. As it’s mid-season, with two events down for each league, we figured it was time to bring you up to speed on where things stand! With teams like Edmonton Impact, Los Angeles Infamous and Tampa Bay Damage having outstanding seasons and Dynasty, Aftershock, the Red Legion and Avalanche around to keep things interesting, manufacturers like KEE, Planet Eclipse, Dye and Bob Long are dueling to see how many podium finishes their products like the Ego, RP paintballs, the NT, the Rotor, the Prophecy and the Victory can stack up!

The PSP Chicago 2010 event, which moved to its historic home at the Badlandz paintball facility for this season, has been struck by severe weather. The entire facility is in poor condition with both parking areas and the playing fields inundated and extremely muddy. This has forced the PSP to delay Thursday’s games, pushing their start times back from 8am until 10am or later.
We at PaintballX3 wish the PSP the best as they push through some terrible weather to promote the event and wish the attending teams luck.
