Who can play?

In order to play a NCPA-sanctioned high school paintball tournament, all players on your 3-man team must go to the same high school. There are a few exceptions to this if you get approval in advance by emailing ncpa@college-paintball.com.

- You can play with kids from a junior high school that will attend your high school once they are done with junior high.
- You can play with kids who are attending a private school or who are home schooled if they would attend your high school were they to switch to public schooling.
- Kids from exceptionally small high schools (less than 100 students total) may combine with kids from other exceptionally small high schools in the same area. This exception will get the most scrutiny.
- Teams from the same private school are OK.


Remember, you only need three students to play. Don't worry if everyone on your team isn't a seasoned tournament player; every other school is limitted to students from their school just like you are.

What events can I play?

If you have an eligible high school team (see above) you can play ANY events you'd like to. If you live in Washington, you can fly to Georgia and play the high school event there. You can play just the Regional events. Or you can skip the regional event and just play the National Championships. It's all up to you.

Do I need my school's approval to play?

NO! - The only requirement is that all of your players go to the same school (or meet the other criteria above). You don't need to be an official club or team in order to compete, we just want you to get out there and play!

We have 6 players who are interested and can't fit on one team - now what?

Enter two teams! Each school can enter as many teams as they would like. We encourage you to get as many people involved as possible. The events are inexpensive, and all the other teams are high school teams, so everyone should have a lot of fun regardless of whether you win or not. It's a great chance to get some other students at your school interested in paintball and paintball tournaments.

Ehh, awesome idea but 3-man is ick!

[PaintballerFourLife]

Why is the HB one so much more expensive? I would love to play this but my team would probably get owned and it would be a waste of $400...

[coolrazer]

Because it's at HB?

[[!]ns4niTy//[M]0tiV3]

[adambarrack]

[Nalayah]

This event will be ON Huntington Beach, on the same turf fields with the same NPPL refs that are used for the rest of the NPPL Huntington Beach event and is priced the same as the NPPL Young Guns 3-man. 400 is more expensive than the other events, but when you consider 7-man teams that play the very same fields in the very same location pay thousands of dollars to do so, it's a steal. Who'd pass up a chance to play Huntington Beach, WITHOUT having to be a D3 or better 7-man team?

And you might be surprised how well you'd do - remember that all the other teams are high school teams too.

also what is the ranking for this like can we have d3 players play with us from our high school

edit 2
also how many games do we get

[raehl]

Ok, we will match Young Guns, so $350. I will update that ASAP.

High school players can be any NPPL division - the important thing is everyone goes to the same school. If Ollie Lang was still 16, he could play.

I can't guarantee a number of games without knowing the exact team numbers, but we would be shooting for 8. (Could be 7, could be 9, but probably 8.)

NPPL ID is *NOT* required for the high school play. You will need an APPA ID number to complete the roster on the NCPA website though. (APPA ID numbers are free; no cards will be required.)

high school is 3-man no alternates i believe...if i was d3 id play d3 7-man rather than the ncpa-high school...i think this is more for friends who know each other through skool and wanna get a bit more serious...this is for scholarship money if you read further.
