Maybe someday?

I hope scenario paintball continues to grow and develops a classification system too. I think it would be cool to see big games have more than just recognized "celebrities" or leagues like the SPPL continue to develop the competitive side of scenario.

What classifies a person as pro? Just playing 1 pro event? And how do people go about proving that they are now pro?

**John** · 07-27-2007, 10:25 PM

There are two locked leagues in the US - the NXL and the NPPL. If you play in the NXL or in the NPPL Pro league, you are Pro.

Not trying to question the new program or anything; just curious, how do you know for sure if a user is who he/she says they are in the NPPL or NXL?

For example, if a d2 player bumped to a pro team and then requested the green text how would they prove that they indeed went pro?

That has to do with the way we gather the information for the featured team forums.

We know all the teams and most the players by name. How would you trick the rest of the team is the bigger question?

Reminds me of how sherdog puts "Professional fighter" under fighter names

I didn't know that. That's pretty cool.

Does this include all pro players or only pro players whose team has their own forum?

**John** · 07-28-2007, 12:48 AM

We're actually working on forums for the Pro teams who don't have a team forum so everyone is included.

WOW that great. GO nation!

4x4le · 07-28-2007, 03:24 AM

what if one joins new? can we flame them calling them a 2k7er?

JShmoobert624 · 07-28-2007, 09:04 AM

Smart idea. Id hate to be there inbox tho.

stonebag · 07-28-2007, 10:36 AM

I have a suggestion. How are we supose to find these pros, if we are looking for a certain one on the site? I'd suggest having a list of all the pros that have green tags, here on PbNation. Such as there is a Moderator/Admin list, that we can view to see all the mods and admins and such. There should be a list like that, but for the green tagged pros, so we can see who is on the site and pm them if we need to.

Just a suggestion.

kazkid8 · 07-28-2007, 11:18 AM

this is a brilliant idea!

We already have lists. Just go to his team forum and look in the Who's Who section.
