A s I write this it has been announced officially
that the NXL (National Xball League) has
acquired the assets of the Millennium Series
and will be hosting four European events in
2018, essentially replacing the Millennium
Series. Surprisingly, at least to this French
paintballer, the NXL’s European events will
remain limited paint, while the American
version will continue with unlimited paint.
The thought of one international league
with one format and one set of rules will be
put on hold for at least another year. In an
interview set for our next print magazine
coming in early November with our Editor,
John Amodea, Tom Cole, President of the
NXL said this: “We are going to continue
with the limited paint format in Europe. We
haven’t decided on how that will exactly play
out. We may increase the amount of paint
a player can carry but it will definitely be
limited paint.” He also said, “The leagues
will have their own set of rules and formats,
at least for the 2018 season. In Chantilly we
met with many of the Millennium players
and they made it clear they love the limited
paint format and we want to give the
players what they want.”
