We have another fundraising opportunity for NCPA clubs/teams. This time no travel and no CO2, so much easier than the Wal Mart one from last year.

Everything you need will be provided, just looking for schools to find spots to set up a small shooting booth near major events (particularly sporting events).

If you’re interested (and didn’t get the email blast) email ncpa@college-paintball.com.

The 2012 – 2013 NCPA Season is almost upon us, and we would like to share several exciting items with you!

Class A News
We need to hear from you if your team is interested in participating in Class A this season!

School Name

Number of Active Tournament Participants in your program

The sooner we hear from you the sooner we can put together conferences, but please send your school’s response no later September 13, 2012 at 12 PM EST.

The conference season entry fee remains the same as last year at $3,800, including entry to the National Championship tournament.

11th Annual Collegiate World Cup

Don’t miss your chance to play College Class A at the PSP World Cup! Collegiate World Cup is the longest-running XBall tournament in the world.

Entry is open to all teams. Play on Saturday and Sunday. Entry fee is $1,900. Top team wins entry and a BYE into the National Championships Playoffs, with an additional entry fee and spot to be awarded with 6 or more teams competing.

As a bonus, we’ll be interviewing players for the PSP webcast! Don’t miss your chance to represent your school!
Jersey Requirements Change – Friendly Reminder
Jersey Padding Prohibited
As a reminder, as announced September 2011, starting this season padding in jerseys is not permitted at NCPA events. Make sure your players are aware of this rule and have a non-padded jersey available for playing in. Full details can be found in the NCPA Rulebook, located on our website: http://ncpapaintball.com/rulebook/

2012 NCPA Layouts
Just like last year, we will be releasing several NCPA-specific layouts in the upcoming weeks! Keep an eye on our Official Layouts page for them!

The rulebook will be updated to include an official field size of 120 feet wide by 150 feet long. Additionally, events should use one of the official NCPA layouts when a suitable bunker set is available. Exception: Events may use a PSP layout on PSP dimensions if PSP has released a layout for the next PSP event.

Empire Paintball is a leading paintball manufacturer and distributor of paintball equipment, apparel and paintballs. We are currently looking for a Product Marketing Manager to oversee paintball product lines. This role is responsible for developing and managing product lines from creation to development to production to post launch analysis.
