Post World Cup Woes - Now What?
PSP World Cup is over. We have one more national event to look forward to, and then that’s it for the year. I’m not gonna lie, after World Cup, NPPL’s Commander’s Cup just seems anti-climactic. More on Commander’s Cup later, though.
The aftershocks of World Cup are still being sorted out. Miguel Cruz has some of the best photography of the event available online, so take a look!
Prices haven’t dropped as significantly for New In Box items as anyone hoped they might, but used prices are down to record lows, with guns a mere two years old now available for downright painful prices. If you’re going to buy, this winter is the time for it! With fewer events and less time to play, and in anticipation of Christmas, you might want to start thinking about that gun you’ve been drooling over for the past year.
Okay, so World Cup has passed and we are over that. Now, to the future!
NPPL Commander’s Cup promises to be the best NPPL event of the year, probably even rivaling World Cup in its awesomeness. It will take place in San Diego, from November 30th until December 2nd. Registration closes Friday the 16th, so get your information in! An interesting twist to this year’s event is the San Diego State University football game that will take place inside Qualcomm Stadium on Saturday, the 1st. The NPPL seems quite happy to be working with SDSU to cross-promote in what will hopefully be a powerful draw for both crowds.
As for your future, take the winter off! Paintball is an easy sport to get burned out from, and taking a winter off can leave you totally refreshed for the coming Spring. I know it seems like a weird strategy, but even professional players need some time to themselves. At least tone it down to easy practices and relaxed rec games.

Take the winter off? Fall/Winter is the best time to play!

Oh, man, my Ion can’t handle the cold. Most solenoids I know can’t either. Or at least the kinds of cold we get around here during December - February. I dunno, it all depends on when you like to play and when you consider your off season to be, I guess.
