To someone who said the only significant pump events are the PSP and NPPL, there is the NEPL that is striving as a league itself and then the Pump divison that has been growing the last two seasons. We had competed in this divison the last two seasons (Top Gun Garden State Pump) and they do a Fantastic job!

The EPL would only be able to run 3-man pump events on Saturdays when we host 2 day events due to the costs involved. However It is something that we are going to look into this year. We are still in the preparation stages of the year and we have been discussing pump events. We will release information as soon as it becomes available. In the mean time please carry on with the discussion, I read all of the posts.

Thank you to everyone who has posted their opinions and interests,

Crispy pretty much laid it down how it is! the Regional scene is comprised of 3 man tournys, entry not more then 100 or 150 and open class (no paint limit, auto trigger allowed.)

I will say this for pump tournaments, and the east coast scene. Most of the pump players on the east coast (with notable exceptions like Chrispy's Rock n Cocks, and i humbly include Top Gun Garden State Pump in this,) play open rec., Big games, and Scnearios and couldn't give a wild crap about playing in tournaments. The culture for the Pump players isn't really based in countering the tournament scene but there is definalety a subculture in it. But for those who do compete, crossover love it, and there is alot of younger players just doing the pump thing. It is growing, just at a painfully slow rate! The NEPL has a great scene starting, and I and my team really enjoyed ourselves out there, and it would be great to have something a little closer to us, like here in PA.

I can't commit us to playing this series the entire season, how ever in a 3 man format I am postive i can get a squad or two to make it to a event or two.

Sorry forgot about the NEPL or the Gravity League for that matter. Never played ether, but I think the point is still about the same.

Also I'd personally love to play some ball with the FP&PL guys again!

Our team has some hybrid players (woodsball/speedball), but we are all very excited to get out onto the Airball fields with our pumps, we could put 2-3 3 man teams in easy. I think it has been pretty well laid out by the 2 who seem to be more knowledgeable about this stuff. But im looking forward to meeting RC and some of the other established pumpers on the field this year
