NCPA Player Badges FAQ

dymium · 12-01-2010, 03:10 PM

How many different NCPA Badges are there?
There are currently three badges: a player badge, a high school regional champions badge, and a Nationals Champs badge.

Who can get a player badge?
NCPA Player badges are available for any person that has played an NCPA event.

Who can get a championship badge?
Why, those who have played on a championship team, of course!

Can staff members of teams receive a badge as well?
No, only those who are rostered as players on a team can receive badges. They are player badges after all.

I'm signed up for an event next month, can I have my badge now?
You will receive your badge once you have participated in an event, not before.

What if I'm and older player, from before 2004?
If you have played an NCPA event prior to 2004 and aren't seeing your badge, please e-mail ncpa@college-paintball.com with your name, PbNation screen name, and APPA Player ID, so we can set you up for your badge. Before e-mailing, please make sure that you have completed the steps in the 'How do I ge t my badge(s)' section.

How do I get my badge(s)?
You will need to link your APPA Player account and your PbNation player account.

Start by going into your user CP on PbNation, and clicking on the 'Edit Profile' option (link). Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, and enter your APPA player ID number here. Be sure to submit the changes here.
After you have submitted your APPA ID number, follow the the link out to APPA (link). Once you've logged into your player profile, you should get a message saying that your accounts have been linked.
Once that is done, it will take between 1 and 24 hours for the systems to sync and get you your badge. You will see the badge in the 'Edit Badges' section of your player profile (link).

My badge shows up in the 'Edit Badges' section, but is not displayed in my posts. What happened?
PbNation limits users to showing only four badges at a time (six if you are an Annual Supporting Member). You may need to deselect a badge to get your NCPA badge to show up.

I should have a championships badge, but it's not showing up in the Badges Control Panel. Why is that?
If you were a player on a championship roster and your badge isn't showing up, please e-mail ncpa@college-paintball.com with your name, player ID, and the team/year that you played on, and we will look into the issue.

Can we have a (coaching|season champs|other) badge?
At the current time, there are no plans to offer any additional badges.

How about a "Coach" badge? Some of us coaches are very dedicated to the NCPA and our programs and give a lot of our time towards them. Some of us have logged as many hours towards coordination and practice as the players. (Alex from Rutgers for example). It would be nice to show off our love of the NCPA as well.

Just saw the email regarding High School National Championships, and noticed the new Regional Champs badge.

Is this badge only for HS or will it apply to college regional champs (Class A teams that win their conference)?

Also if your team hasn't payed their dues yet you cannot get the badge even if you have played in an event...had to learn this one the hard way!

Probably not the best place to ask this. There is a high school forum. Also you could make your own thread with a title that asks your questions people looking for NCPA badges wont really know or care about High school events

Edit: There it is.
