This first issue is about the culture of paintball. With articles highlighting the different types of paintball, along with a large amount of the best pictures throughout the year.

THE WORLD PAINTBALL ORGANIZATION 2016 The WPBO is a result of cooperation and discussions between all of the world’s major leagues and UPBF to unify the sport of paintball. The development of a global game has successfully grown to record levels of participation. With the way things are going, paintball could truly become a true world sport. In 2016 paintball will finally be harmonized with the same rules, ID cards, and fields. The new ID system will allow players to use the same ID worldwide as well as allow them to get worldwide.

But before you go to the first NXL event in Las Vegas, be sure to read up on the new rules that are in place. When players are shot out this year, they must a hand on their head. Failure to comply with this rule results in verbal warning on the first offense, and either a minor or major on subsequent offenses, subject to the judgement of a referee. Another notable change is that pre-game marker inspections are mandatory; a team’s failure to appear in a timely manner will result in a forfeit for that match.
