Tournament Paintball and the state of Texas have a long and historic relationship . The National Survival Game ( NSG ), creators of the game of paintball as well as tournament paintball , held the first major event in Dallas in 1984 , just one year after tournament paintball debuted in the first-ever NSG World Championships in New Hampshire . Texas was an occasional stop on the Lively circuit in the late 80s and early 90s and for many years , a regular stop on the NPPL tour . Later the PSP and now NXL have made Texas a yearly event .
The National Xball League ( NXL ) held its second event of the 2022 season on April
29 - May 1 at Giant Sports Park , just outside of Dallas , Texas . This was the league ’ s first of two “ Open ” events for the 2022 season , along with its four “ Major ” events this year . With 145 teams entered it ’ s hard to think of this as a “ lesser ” event than the NXL ’ s Majors .
For this event four fields were used — sponsored by JT / Lone Wolf , HK , Planet Eclipse and the Pro field . The modest trade show had companies like Hydra Paintball , Mac-Dev , Planet Eclipse , Luxe and a handful of other companies .
