Happy New Year Everyone!

We did a webcast yesterday with Mr Stein live from Boston Paintball in Chelsea and we announced some tentative 98% dates for the 2013 Season. We are unfortunately still waiting for the national dates but we wanted to work with Dave and ensure that we had a plan going through the season to avoid any possible conflicts. So these dates will stand as long as there are no major issues with the PSP - they are all Sundays and they are paired as follows:

NEXL Dates are for 3 Man & Xball and NEPL dates are for 5 Man and 7 Man.

NEXL
5/12
6/16
7/28
9/8
10/6

NEPL
5/19
6/30
8/11
9/22
11/3

Update to the 3 mans: Those will stay on NEXL Saturdays (meaning the Saturdays before The NEXL's) So the exact dates for 3 Mans this year are:

May 11th
June 15th
July 27th
September 7th
October 5th

The webcast can be found here to catch up on all of the announcements - Thanks again to Jeff Stein for joining us! We have a LOT of great things going on - so take the time and listen in !

Any change to theses dates? The second PSP event falls on the first NEXL event

[Lori]

Actually its an unconfirmed second event that falls on our first date - we have been working on it since they sent the email last night - should be resolved soon

Seeing how you got a full 20 teams with 2 divisions for Nexl, are you going to be able to play every team for 3 matches plus a finals all in the same day? or would you consider a sat and sun event?

they have the confirmed dates on their facebook page

[EMSGuy24]

That's nexl not Nepl

[Lori]

The NEXL dates (i have edited) are final - the 3rd NEPL date may change due to an NPPL event - as soon as I know I will post.

With 20+ teams - we are thisclose to taking up to 30 teams and running 3 fields - that is a day by day thing and I will not be able to confirm that until it's definite - anyway we are running 2 fields as it is - have run the times and should have plenty of time for a one match playoff on each field (approx 8 - 8.5 hours)

Hope that helps!!
Thanks

The Nepl event on aug 18th is the Sunday of psp event 4...

[Lori]

yes i know..... it is an nppl date as well...... but it is an nEpl date not an NEXL date... so we're working it the best we can

[EMSGuy24]

Oh sorry I didn't know the NPPL dates sorry..

[looosecannon]

i think the dates worked out perfect. there are like 4 leagues to contend with and how many weeks of actual season. theres nexl, nepl, psp, nppl, fox ball, nps, thats a lot to contend with. the nexl does not contend with the psp which its a feeder series for so realistically if your worried about psp you would more than likely be playing in the nexl. alot of dates and psp isnt helping anyone by not confirming half their season thats ridiculous on the psp's part. i have faith all will work by the time its game time :-)

[EMSGuy24]

No its that my 5 man team is planing on Playing PSP that weekend.....

[Lori]

i think it'll work out to be as simple as moving that event to the 11th - just awaiting confirmation... Issue is if one moves because of the other we could be screwed either way but I'm working on it

[GivenRandy]

The Facebook wall has NEPL listed as August 11th now (instead of the 18th), although the "about" section still has the old date.

[Cop3rZ]

when does we will know the real dates ?

[Lori]

I have published them on the facebook pages and on the sites - i will edit my post right now to reflect the final dates

Thank you!

[Cop3rZ]

thx to you Lori !

[FencerSMS]

are you going to update the NEPL site? People are still throwing around the old dates

[Lori]

Really? Hmm - thought i changed it - with new graphics and everything - i will investigate ...

Update to the 3 mans: Those will stay on NEXL Saturdays (meaning the Saturdays before The NEXL's) So the exact dates for 3 Mans this year are:

May 11th
June 15th
July 27th
September 7th
October 5th

Just want to make sure to get this out there!
