There needs to be info from those in the know.

You actually get the IDs at the site you listed right there ^. So you go there(http://theidpro.com/index2.php), create an account with username/password, then login to it, and that will take you to your player profile. From there, you can create a team, join an existing team, manage rosters, sign up for events, etc. And if you scroll to the bottom of the screen, you will see a area that reads: "Pay Annual Player Registration Fee"(This is the ID) with a box below it for RPL and Great Western Series (no idea what that is heh) - and columns to the right of those boxes with paypal links to pay, respectively. ($40 for RPL ID). Then you will get your physical ID at the 1st event you play.

Enjoy guys. The park, for those who havent been, is made for events like this, and Tina and crew down there do a good job of consistently holding fun, competitive events there, including the RPL.

What he said

[WarpedBaller27]

RPL is great tourney series, I recommend the new up and coming teams take a shot at it!

[MyVtecKicksHard!]

Wish Rpl would used Appa ranking system and go back to PsP format like back in 2011.. And Maybe more teams would sign up.

[Ninj-ew]

RPL is the feeder league to the NPPL and WCPPL is for the PSP so we don't want to try to compete directly with them.

Plus myself and the others who put on the RPL enjoy playing NPPL format a lot more. Not a fan of ramping or sideline coaching at all.

Ramping doesn't bother me as much, but sideline coaching really annoys me..

Ramping
Side Line Coaching

Should be, Jason said if NPPL changed, so would RPL. Too bad the NPPL prizes aren't too lucrative though.

[Ninj-ew]

I'll double check and let you guys know.

Rudz as for NPPL. They haven't posted their prizes yet for the actual major events. The ones they have up for the regional events are going to be different than the actual events such as HB. So they may end up being better than you're expecting.

But still if you get a chance to play Vegas for free that' awesome!

Sorry I'm new to tournaments. Is nppl semi?

Yes. 15 bps capped semi.

What's the deal with the different NPPL event tiers now, its confusing

[Ninj-ew]

There are a few reasons.
The 4 majors are the main events. But lower divisional teams can play regionals to help them earn championship points. So if say you can attend FL but you still need points towards the championship you can attend a regional event and a portion of your points will go towards your NPPL standings. I know the PSP does something similar to that with some of their feeder leagues.

The NPPL wants to set themselves apart from the rest by one major factor.
VENUES!
They have the best venues to play national events. Any one of us can go and play paintball at a field any weekend.
But how often do you get to play on the Beach of HB?
Inside a Stadium in Tampa Bay?
Inside a Stadium in Denver?
On the Strip of Las Vegas?

Not everyone can afford to attend these awesome locations so by creating the regional events, it helps support the fields that support the league and also allows teams to earn those needed championship points.
Those venues are top notch as well. I'm bummed I can't go to the HI event!
But the events at the fields are a little more friendly on the wallet.

[MannyFresh7PB]

HI looks and sounds very fun J.

[billy1234]

damnit wish i was playing this season.

[Ninj-ew]

Don't wish. DO!

[rudz]

How many regional events are they having?

[Ninj-ew]

They are having 4. They have them listed on their website now.

[Ninj-ew]

I was told today that officially the NPPL is going to move the D4 division to 7-man format!

The graphics will be changed by morning to reflect that information.
