| So we know that Paintball PSP is hosting the | | | | paintball famous, I really don't know. |
| world cup final on 22nd-26th October at Orlando. | | | | Another division is the NXL can be a trouble |
| As you know PSP was one of the top three | | | | maker for PSP. As you know the X-ball style |
| paintball leagues from NPPL and the Millennium | | | | matches make for longer events and nobody has |
| Series. I was wondering how PSP is doing. How | | | | a better idea by saving the company's cost by |
| are they going to stop the merger, increase the | | | | either playing at night or set up more fields (not a |
| number of paintball teams...etc? | | | | bad idea huh?) So if PSP can break even from |
| Before that PSP was not doing that good | | | | their profits and cost or earn a little profit by not |
| compared to other leagues. What I mean is, are | | | | having NXL, why are they having it? |
| they making any money or are they doing a real | | | | NXL is always been a showcase for the PSP just |
| good job in promoting the events? So, seeing | | | | like the PRO divisions in another paintball league. |
| there is a problem in this, they hired Keeley | | | | But as far as I concerned other paintball leagues is |
| Watson and Lane Wright. I must say it's quite a | | | | doing very well by just having the PRO division. |
| good move! | | | | Another reason is when I said NXL could be the |
| Right now, this is their strength. The company is | | | | trouble is that if the paintball industry is having a |
| working very, very hard to running better events | | | | down turn now, sooner of later not many paintball |
| and controlling what happens inside the net. | | | | teams are not going to participate. |
| As you know they allocate a large portion of $$$ | | | | It is all about the cost! |
| to get the best refs, get a good commissioner, | | | | Setting up an event like NXL could cost PSP at |
| etc. I would say the biggest strength is their X-ball | | | | least $100,000 and due to the economy |
| format! Be careful guys, your biggest strength | | | | downturn, many teams will not be able to afford |
| could be your weakness. Now talking about X-ball, | | | | playing two teams, will cut off from NXL. If the |
| it's quite new as you know. People are crazy | | | | NXL paintball league is not going to make money |
| about it. A lot of paintball teams spend a lot of | | | | for PSP, many of the vendors like those who set |
| money on it when it was first introduced because | | | | up mini shops on the event selling their goods, will |
| it is quite easy to learn but of course it was | | | | have cut-backs. Cut-backs will amount to NO |
| before the industry went rough. | | | | profits! |
| Now PSP spend lion's portion of their budget on all | | | | Paintball is a competitive industry that I would say. |
| of these and they just ran out of money when it | | | | Although PSP has their own strengths, I am sure |
| comes to promoting the events like other leagues | | | | PSP is smart enough to see their weakness and |
| did pretty well. I am not sure what strategy they | | | | work on it. |
| are up to by sitting their or just try to make | | | | |
