Valken only paint at NPPL.............

Splat7 · 02-15-2012, 10:04 PM

***EDIT***

The rumor I heard about NPPL only allowing Valken is untrue... and also anyone who thinks that GI or KEE have some sort of back deal with PSP are also misinformed. From the facts that are currently presented, both of these rumors are untrue. However If GI, KEE and DXS do not end up attending NPPL HB, I would like to know the reason why these companies are not attending a major paintball event.

From the thread in the news section. They are the only company set up right now to sell paint there. KEE/RPS and GI/DXS are more then welcome to set up and sell if they want too.

This all has to do with the NPPL and PSP fighting i bet you

I know that KEE will be there. They sponsor a bunch of the pro teams.

For the record: The Nppl doesn't fight with anyone. Every paintball company in the world is welcome at any NPPL event.

Still seven weeks to HB, we will be making lots of exciting sponsor announcements leading up to the event!

okay, sorry about that then guys. Should have looked at my info better... I will change context of post

Well sound like most people weren't mis informed as just read on propaintball that KEE will not be attending NPPL HB. Or should i say they will be attending in the form of tech support but will not be selling any products there.

aztek081 · 02-20-2012, 11:39 AM

so how much is paint going to be now.. and are we going to be able to bring our own paint ?

pballerfolife21 · 02-20-2012, 12:12 PM

The best thing Valken did this year was not getting a spot at Galveston.
Now they will be one of the onlyl ones at HB and be making serious bank

did it happen to say why they were not attending anywhere? Like it doesn't make any sense for Empire to be at NPPL for tech support, but to not be supplying paint. If they are going to be there anyways then why not have paint available? I would really like an empire rep to explain that to us. I'm not trying to jump to conclusions, but the two only valid excuses I can see are either NPPL said they can't sell the paint there/gave exclusive rights to Valken or that Empire told PSP they would only sell their paint at PSP events. NPPL has said that they are not "locking out" anybody, and Empire has also said that they are not taking sides to one league.... but if neither of those are the reason then why the hell aren't they selling RPS at HB? It seems like either one person is lying or KEE just doesn't feel like bringing a paint truck to HB will be worth it

Go to pro paintball and read the article with interview of kee's CEO. all your questions will be answered

chevota · 02-20-2012, 01:47 PM

In the article it say the KEE WILL ONLY BE WORKING WITH ONE LEAGUE THIS YEAR BUT STILL SUPPORTS BOTH LEAGUES. ahh Bullsh-it So we (KEE) will be selling paint at the PSP and only the PSP not NPPL but will be there with are tech staff to support are sponsered teams.
I think the article say that they (KEE) have choosen a side and it the PSP.

I heard that Valken wasn't aloud to have a spot at Galveston even tho they tryied to get one.

Everyone Panic

The PSP decided that having an open door policy on paint vendors would only hurt everyone involved so they capped the number and gave first dibs to recurring sponsors. Valken can sell soft/hard goods at PSP events but cannot sell paint.

I am willing to bet that more paint companies will show up than just Valken. Valken redemption paint is great and I'd be happy to shoot it, but I highly expect there will be 2 or 3 paint companies at HB and I would put money on it. NPPL will be sure to announce who the others are once they are confirmed, but that could take time given the delicacy of the situation.

I agree! I dont think there will be only one vender in the NPPL selling paint. Someone else will step up. It's suck's that RPS wont be there. To me the ultra evil is the best paint out there.

I have shot Ultra Evil at 90% of my national events, but I have also shot Redemption Pro and it is definitely comparable. I have always liked it, although I have not used it as much as Ultra Evil. I for one and definitely looking forward to HB and the rest of the season regardless of who sells paint.

Cory688 · 02-21-2012, 04:07 PM

At least if there is only one company everyone will be shooting the same stuff.
