NPPL gets on TV, umh no on webcast…

So NPPL was after its Golden calf the TV and ended up with subscription/pay-per-view webcast on ESPN3.com.  If you live in US and happen to have ESPN trough your cable or ISP provider you can view ESPN3 for free. As for us living in Europe there seems to be the option to pay 15EUR for online event viewing at ESPN3.com. What remains to be seen is if NPPL will be still interesting enough in peoples mind to pay for the service. If the cost would be 10EUR for NPPL then maybe I would consider and if it would have been for PSP then yes for sure for high quality webcast.

Amtrak Classifies Paintball Markers as Firearms in U.S

As of tomorrow the 15th December U.S Railroad operator Amtrak allows unloaded firearms  to be transported on train if pre checked and given at least 24h notice to Amtrak before departure. Requiring firearms to be transported in locked hard-boxes and pre checked sounds reasonable but now both paintball markers and airsoft markers get the same treatment and classification. Sure Amtrak doesn’t have luggage checks when you board so you can carry your gear if you want but what happens if an official decides to check your bag and follow the issue to the letter?

Once again we see how paintball equipment gets thrown in the same bunch as firearms. Even if Amtrak won’t pursue its customers with paintball markers its something that can easily carry ow-er to other similar circumstances and regulations.

You can find full Amtrak press release here or keep reading below.

Rare occasions..

By stumbling around the internet video sites and being a fan of (or liking, as it now goes) everything on Facebook, you get mostly tons of pointless and repetitive c**p, kinda like your million TV channels with nothing good on, ever. Except for Family Guy. On rare occasions, however, something nice crosses your path.

The NPPL 2010 Huntington Beach Surf City Open

So first NPPL event for 2010 has started at Huntington Beach today.  With 120 teams ranging from 5-man pump teams to regular 7-man witch is about the same number USPL had last year for Huntington Beach. NPPL has been advertising webcast for their event but so far there isn’t any feed available from uspl.tv. Also there are no score updates from the event to NPPL schedule or any social media. If you want to take an quick peak at Huntington Beach you find at least beach city camera sarcasm. Hopefully the whole event isn’t just an black hole as to results and whats going on down at the beach.

Pro teams will start their games on Saturday and teams in this year are: Oakland Blast, New Port Entourage, St. Louis Avalanche, Chicago Legend, Los Angeles Infamous, Tampa Bay Damage, San Francisco Explicit, Edmonton Impact, Seattle Naughty Dogs, San Diego Dynasty, Sacramento XSV and Indianapolis Mutiny.

NPPL 2010 Huntington Beach

Looks like Huntington Beach is back for next year. Good to see also that USPL starts to use their more known NPPL brand name for events also.
Going to be interesting to see witch teams invest for 7-man next year. Hopefully they can bring back the reffing stanards also that NPPL was once in a time well known for.
