The more fields you have, the deeper into the ref talent pool you have to go. But you don't want to run your refs 14 hours a day either; that hurts on-field performance that event and talent retention over the longer term.<br /><br />It's also a little bit about schedule - four race-to-5 matches in one day is a bit much for anyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-30693510282140368592012-05-19T01:28:56.773-04:002012-05-19T01:28:56.773-04:00Anon #1

If there was something else or something more you had in mind let me know.<br />Regarding what I've seen I think it's mostly a free & easy way to try and promote the event and create some buzz. Does it work? Does it help? I am inclined to think it probably works for anyone already sold on the NPPL. And of course some info about what's happening is better than none.<br />I'd say it has zero impact on the players but it may depend on whether they're getting online with their phones at the venue. ;)<br /><br />dan.<br />Most NPPL 3.0 events have been two fields.<br /><br />Reiner<br />Perhaps but the question is at how much additional cost to the league?<br />Beyond that a weekend event isn't excessive.

The NPPL is posting small and almost non-sensical pieces of information. Totally ineffective media practice.<br /><br />Is this method of inundating Facebook pages valuable to your team/players? What do they think about this approach?<br /><br />Would it not be more valuable to save this information for a later date? Do you have a suggestion on how the NPPL should handle their media as it concerns the team?<br /><br />You do quite well my Baca friend in delivering a message- so why does the NPPL, driven by the professional paintball media, do so poorly?<br /><br />Is it a difference in presentation? Clearly- but what makes that difference valuable? Is it the environment of the MPL? Take a few moments and I'd love to hear the response.<br /><br />Interested to know what the team thinks as a whole unit. Are they seeing this media while at the event? Does it inform them between games? Is it worthwhile as an overall media approach?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-16505304469777054242012-05-18T11:10:29.081-04:002012-05-18T11:10:29.081-04:00Being that DYE and KEE are supposedly not interest...Being that DYE and KEE are supposedly not interested in sponsoring or supporting the NPPL, it seems strange their trailers are closest to the NPPL side of things.<br />Will KEE be selling paint to NPPL teams at this event?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
