is your ranking in uspl gunna change your ranking in psp? ive heard that there using appa?

[sidneyng]

Yeah, also like to know if you play one tourney in D1 USPL will you be rated D1 in PSP?

[Ches7er]

that the big question.... but i guess you will have to ask psp, they are the ones who choose what rankings to consider and which ones they dont.

[undrdg]

according to the uspl site, if you have both, the ranking that is higher takes precedence.
from the uspl site.

CLASSIFICATIONS
Teams are ultimately responsible for policing their own roster. If they are found to have an illegal roster, they will be disqualified from the event.
Divisions, Rosters and Classifications
There will be the following divisions in the 2009 US Paintball League:
Professional
Division 1
Division 2
Division 3
Division 3 5-man
D1 may have unlimited D1 players, unlimited SP players and up to 2 Pro players
D2 may have all D2 players, up to two D1 players, no SP or Pro players
D3 may have only D3 players (for both 7-man and 5-man)
National Classification Conversion Chart
(If you have both NPPL and PSP classifications, your USPL classification will be whichever is higher)
2008 Pro NPPL = USPL SP (unless listed on a 2009 NXL or USPL Pro Roster)
2008 SP NPPL = USPL SP
2008 D1 NPPL = USPL D1
2008 D2 NPPL = USPL D2
2008 D3 NPPL = USPL D2

Pro NXL = USPL Pro
SP PSP = USPL SP
D1 PSP = USPL D1
D2 PSP = USPL D2
D3 PSP = USPL D3
A professional player is someone who is listed on a 2009 USPL Pro roster or 2009 NXL roster. Anyone who played pro in 2008 but is not on a 2009 pro roster (USPL or NXL) is classified as SP. Any player who takes one year off will be reclassified down 1 division. Note: No player can ever be reclassified down to D3. After five events playing Division 3, players will be reclassified as Division 2.
To have your case reviewed, you can request a reclassification for a $50 fee (no matter the outcome of the league’s decision) by emailing info@uspaintballleague.com

hopefully this makes it clearer?????

how many d1 events does it take to become a D1 player? I member if you played 3 dIII events and has a certain score you bumped to DII...So what the bump to DI going to be? I mean PTN has been playing DII forever

[minipaintballr02]

You need to play 2 d1 events in psp in order become d1.

[undrdg]

unless the psp bumps you up because of points and such.

[little_pballer]

meh i personally think there should be a 1 divisional bumper. Cause i have a DI team for this and a DII team for PSP...lamesauce

[**GP**]

I think if you are good enough to play in a division twice in the same year you should be ranked at the level. It would be nice to see the APPA/PSP/USPL work together to get players ranked the same in both leagues.

[undrdg]

how do you do a 1 to 1 comparison of different games?
Does that also mean if you play Professional woodsball you should also be a professional XBALL/7man Player?

It is difficult to do after all the USPL has 1 fewer division that PSP does.

[P4IN7 B4LLS]

well and the fact that the uspl can't cross reference player rankings with the old nppl system, so it becomes completely irrelevant and has to rely on the psp ranks anyways. i know a lot of people who are d1 or semi pro in nppl that are playing d2 because of their lower psp rank... theres no way to check it
