ULTIMATE = Kicked out of NXL ???

blackryan · 02-14-2008, 05:41 PM

Is it true. Since NE Canes are not playing and that makes the number odd, are you guys getting kicked out since you are last in rankings? Just curious?

Custer-Steve · 02-14-2008, 06:39 PM

probably

Of the 16 teams that started playing the NXL last year, 5 have stopped playing paintball entirely: Legacy (16th), LTZ (15th), Ultimate (14th), Trauma (13th), Raiders (8th) and Strange (7th), although a lot of those players have moved onto other teams, making them stronger. Hurricanes (12th) are apparently only playing one league next year, and have chosen NPPL, where they finished the season 6th. Seems like a smart move by Hurricanes.

NPPL had one team leave due to poor experience (Joy, 5th) and one that is out of paintball entirely (Image, 9th). Bad Company, LTZ and Rage all got relegated, and A-Team, SD Aftermath, and Bushwackers got promoted. That leaves, last I saw 'officially', two empty spots in NPPL, while NXL apparently turned away a team or two to stay at 12 spots.

As for whether 7-man or XBall is 'better', neither is better, they're just different.

(Except, of course, that XBall is better.

Thats what im saying, itd be totally unfair for Ultimate i thought they were going to rip 2008 apart.

smartparts786 · 02-14-2008, 09:11 PM

lane just confirmed that there will be 12 NXL teams...

Can someone who is on Ultimate please comment no this? I totally think its ****ed up, and im going to raise hell if it was that they just called you and said your out or is there another story?

AEFP!! · 02-15-2008, 02:01 PM

are you guys going to play open?

897Rusherkid897 · 02-15-2008, 02:20 PM

There is no open anymore, its D1 is the top and even then you can only roster 2 pros

Chase12 · 02-15-2008, 02:32 PM

^^I think in this situation Lane would allow it

TrOjAn MaN665 · 02-15-2008, 06:39 PM

yea i dont think anyone would care if ultimate played d1

junkeezballer01 · 02-15-2008, 07:07 PM

from what I've heard they will be playing D1 , just wait it will all be posted by Ted on what the plans are for the 08 season I know what's going to happen but it's not my place to tell mainly speacking of the roster and who keeps there pro rank and who loses there pro rank I peronaly think there's more to the deal than just keeping the NXL at 12 teams regardless where they play this year I wish them all the best

Danny43Wilson · 02-20-2008, 02:50 AM

Well if they are playing d1 and they get to keep all players it is going to be hell for other teams in d1 no one would stand a chance so no one may care now but as soon as Ultimate hands out some A S S kickings **** will hit the fan then what they place 1st for the year and then can they go back to the NXL thinking about this hurts my head.

_Slightly Stoopid_ · 02-20-2008, 01:03 PM

i no it really doesnt matter but my veiw on the situation is this....

ultimate got the short end of the stick when it came to the NXL and their decisions, but i know that ted and everybody on ultimate are great guys and girls(abby) and that i'm sure they feel cheated by this, expecially with all the hard work and effort put in by ted and every single member of the team, but they are going to make the very best of it and Ultimate is going to wreck fools in D1. i look forward to seeing you guys on the podium and i know its all goin to work out for u guys just keep ur heads high and show em that u deserve that pro spot back and make them regret dropping you down to D1...

cockerman1417 · 02-20-2008, 01:19 PM

The hell with all these problems. Drop both and lets take it back to the woods
