Michael Brown, the captain of team TOG happily states, “Our favorite thing about USXBL is how smoothly every is ran and how they care about what the players want. They always make sure everyone has plenty of time to let their teams get ready to play and have people out there that always check in on players and staff to make sure they have everything they need. They’re friendly and care about growing the sport in paintball.” The ac: Dallas program will be officiating, and the X-Ball, 5-Man, and 3-Man staple formats have all returned for this year. The Premiere Division will be introduced for the SCR series, that allows D2 players to compete due to many players ranking up this year. One crazy twist that will challenge competitors are the way layouts are released for all events: An assortment of eight layouts have been released and will be randomly chosen one week before each event. Layouts will not be re-used once chosen, and a unique, ‘Superstar,’ layout will be made for the National Championship that will be released 2 weeks prior to the event. To conclude the league’s season, the National Championship will take place October 6th - 7th in Dallas. Go Sports will be returning to film the event live, with special hosts yet to be announced. First place series prizes will be entry into NXL World Cup depending on the division competed, along with cash prizes to win at the Championship event, and of course trophies, medals, bragging rights…the whole hoorah!
