If Dynasty, X-Factor and Explicit skip their way into the final 4 then questions will be asked. But this is paintball and we've seen in the past that under-rated teams like CP and TonTon have managed to to stand toe to toe with Pro teams. The bizarre field layout will also come into play I expect. (How I wish there was going to be a webcast!!!!! - even the Russian all girls comp managed to get a webcast going from Moscow last month!!!!)<br /><br />Also, I think Chuck really has to delegate marketing NPPL to someone who can devote more time to social media on a daily basis and not just every 4-7 days. And why don't they delete the FB posts about Hawaii or at least make a statement? <br /><br />For those playing Surf City I expect they don't care about the Pro bracket politics or the poor media management. It's still a great public venue for paintball and I can only hope Baca can coach his new team into a top spot over the smurfs...Grant Hhttp://www.urbanone.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-61113885892645251842013-04-08T19:37:29.998-04:002013-04-08T19:37:29.998-04:00No hype anywhere, not hating, just saying..not a d...No hype anywhere, not hating, just saying..not a drop of excitement and HB used to be the "show"NewPronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-66164765373390361472013-04-08T19:30:58.431-04:002013-04-08T19:30:58.431-04:00Well then lemme help you out.
