NPPL cancels Vancouver, Canada event for 2012
I spoke to Chuck and Pev at the Extravaganza earlier this week and it sounded like the NPPL was going to go back to 4 events for 2012 and take Vancouver off the schedule.
It looks like they just made it official:
“The NPPL Board of Directors after speaking to players, teams and sponsors has decided to reschedule Vancouver. The main reasons for dropping Vancouver from the 2012 schedule is the economy is still tight and teams, sponsors have expressed they can only afford to go to 4 events this season. Furthermore, there were concerns about getting supplies and equipment across the boarder. We are looking at the possibility of hosting the event in 2013 which will allow the league, teams and sponsors more time to plan, promote and take care of logistics for running a successful tournament. The NPPL views Canada as a growing paintball tournament market and looks to promote more feeders and teams in Canada this year. The League hopes players; teams and sponsors will respect and support our decision to postpone Vancouver for one year.”

Yeah, we don't allow links in News. It must have gotten the axe. Look through the News rules for the proper way to do it.

Looks like the NPPL is learning from their mistakes from before. I'm glad they took a smart evaluated choice. Over extension and low turnouts is pricey for an event series like this.
Cross the fingers for next year

- No Upping threads. If you have something to say, please do, but don't post in the thread just to take it to the top of the forum.
- Do not post "1st post", "1st", "First post" or anything similar (or with any other number) at any point in a thread, even if you post a comment too. It is really annoying and it will result in a ban.
- If you don't like something, say why instead of just calling it ugly, lame, gay or any other name. If it is old, simply post a link or report the post with a link to the older News thread.
- Please don't post links for places to buy items. That encourages stores, sponsored players and other people to do it and spam the site.
If you have questions, please post them in the Talk to Mods/Admins forum.
