Ultra Evil. Nppl please explain

Truck full of ultra evil was at the event, not just being shot by the pros. It was my understanding that only valken and the fyre stuff was to be used at the event.

1. Why was it there, and who exactly was it there for
2. If it was being sold there why was it not made available to the divisonal teams
3. Dont say it was ONLY for the pros and ONLY the pros shot it, because thats bs, there was aton of this stuff on fields 2 and 3

Anyones more than welcome to comment on the matter, but i would love to hear an explanation from NPPL. Did you make another typo error, or do you not like enforcing your own rules?

Cant wait to hear the response, thanks!

GI and KEe shared a paint truck to supply their PRO teams with paint...all other divisions shot Valken or that other stuff.

Divisional teams shooting kee or GI would have been kicked out of the event.

As for evil being on field 2 and 3? how do you know it was evil..... Valken pro and ultra evil have the same fill and shell color......

as far as i know, the evil was specifically for kee's pro teams, and pro teams only. you had to be on a list in the truck for them to even talk to you about getting paint. i assume the only way divisional teams could've gotten it would be kick downs for helping pro teams.

Did you have paint problems? I know in the mornings we had some trouble with the top level valken paint getting chewed up in rotors but for the most part we shot the mid level stuff and it seemed to break fairly well (not great obviously) but not so bad that it was unplayable.

The word at the event was that Evil was not for sale and was only for the Pro's sponsored by Kee.
And that anyone other than Pro's "caught" shooting anything other than APX or Valken would be dq'd, key word, "caught".
I do know some of the divisional teams were shooting Evil, Pro hookups I'm sure.
I also know that many of the teams shooting APX made it to Sunday.

Valken, APX are quality companies.. I shot Evil because it is what was given to me, I would of been more than happy to shoot Valken and APX... If you want to shoot Evil at a NPPL event, Go Pro.

I believe this is being brought up not because people are upset that they didn't get to shoot their preferred/ sponsor paint. I'm pretty sure this is being brought up because there are divisional teams clearly defying the rules and when it came up the NPPL did nothing, notice there is no statement by the NPPL clearing this up. I had no problems with the paint but my team is a KEE team and my captain was told by chuck himself that only the pro's were aloud to shoot KEE paint. It's just another way that NPPL is shooting themselves in the foot and slowly but surely killing 7 man. The NPPL needs to remember that there are only 16 pro teams and that the rest of the divisional players and teams pay their bills and get treated like they will keep coming back to them regardless.

The XSV Division 1 team was shooting Valken and Davey came over and was making sure it was shooting good for us and he had 2 different skids of the Pro, one that was kept cold and one that was slightly warmer. It shot amazing for the squad and everyone was real happy with it. They did not try the APX.
We played against Dynasty 2 on Friday afternoon and I am fairly certain that they were also shooting the Valken.
Did anyone get any pictures of the divisional teams shooting it/having it in their pods? With the amount of photographers we should be able to go back through and find out which teams were violating the rule.
Also, did anyone bring this up to Tony or Pev at the event? Or at least the referees on the fields?

More frustrated than anything, every single nppl event ive ever played ive shot ultra evil, and in my opinion is hands down the best paint out there.
Paint shot decent, but it was nowhere near comparable to ultra evil, i kept finding multiple balls that had tiny pin prick size holes on the seam. Im paying all this money, spending all the time to practice to come to an event and shoot the BEST paint, its even more frustrating when other divisional teams, mot just pros are using this paint.

Divisional teams WERE shooting ultra, and were not kicked out, nor was the issue even addressed.
You obviously have never shot ultra evil, each ball has a giant E on it, and the shell color is slightly different, more of a metallic blue(at least this event was) and the fill isnt even comparable to anything else, its amazing, thick, ultra bright

This was brought up to refs, and higher ups in nppl and the word was"theyll keep an eye on it"
