When you hear the season is starting for paintball, it’s like the breakfast club of the peculiar sport that we know and love, getting back together and getting ready to compete in their favorite events. It’s another highly anticipated season for the USXBL for competitive paintball players in the Midwest and Southern states. The dates have been set for the three regional series that make up this year’s league which include the Great Plains, H-Town, and ever so popular, South Central Regional Series. The Interstate 10 (I-10) Series has been discontinued this year due to a concentrated number of events in Louisiana. New to the season is the H-Town series, which is home to the Houston area. Each event will take place at Paintball Zone, one of the many fields that were affected by Hurricane Harvey in August 2017. After many months of recovery and restoration, Zone has swung open its doors and is fully ready to host the H-Town events, offering a brand-new field along with growing their home team, Houston Zone, that will be competing. “We are excited to bring a new series to the Houston area! We have worked hard to make sure we give teams a premier paintball park to match this new premier series.” Says Jim Hensley, owner of Paintball Zone. The season opener will be Saturday, March 17th for Race to 2, D4 and D5 teams, an incredible opportunity for beginner level players to gain more tournament experience. This league has been built on the philosophy of truly growing paintball. Over the years, the staff at USXBL has been constantly improving their infrastructure on how they can better provide their players. www.paintball.media 051
