Actually Mr X Division is $80 per case. CXBL is BYOP. I think the paper you are talking about is being rolled up and smoked. Good luck at the event.

Xball or not,the debate is always emotional for "some" people. MR-X and MXL are both 80 per case....

MR does give back $5000 per event in cash at the end of each event....everytime no matter what.... Almost half the teams win some cash, and you play about 5-7 games "per" weekend.No DJ though....

MXL pays 15 cases "per game" the following year as a season prize for 1st place, and you get to play in the CXBL....I believe the fees are 350 per man/women x 15 minimum......MXL gives you 7 games per year......and there is a sweet DJ at each event.

Anyways, they are both great options for western Canadian players. The BCPPL has announced a X-division for 2009.....modeled on the popular MR X-Division, we feel it gives the best value to the player's of BC,and is the current game of choice in the PSP,NXL,and Millenium series. Real value is something we were very concered about....as X-Ball can be ridiculously expensive, and out of reach for most player's......unless there is a fruitful sponsorship deal in place for the team.

The vast majority of player's in BC prefer 7man, unarguably it is the best game to develop skills in all areas of paintball and is the most challenging. But we are very happy to be able to give the choice to those looking to play highly organized Xball!

Stay tuned for announcments concerning the availability of 2009 BCPPL X-Division spots and dates!

Ooops....couple of mistakes in the above post.....MR gives away $7000 per event....$4000 alone for first.......

Sorry about that ,my issue is not with the cost but with the paint provided for the cost.The Xball series is a solid brand,but Silver for $80 would be a great value vs Bronze.
