Obviously I appreciate your enthusiasm and I think Champions could relatively easily be extended in the way you suggest. That was the original intent behind xball too. League(s) that replicated the game of the week formula like football.<br />Today, however, we have the same problems with Champions that exist for xball or any extended, multi-point paintball. It's expensive to play. Paint has been the great divider at the pro level and that isn't changing all that much or the time being.<br />I don't see Bacaball resolving any of the cost issues--I think competitive paintball at the highest level is always going to be fairly expensive--but I think it might resolve some of the watchability concerns and still be fun to play--and be flexible enough to fit any future requirement. Who knows? :)Baca Locohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13014510414015288907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-22237357500253041252011-01-25T03:15:10.218-05:002011-01-25T03:15:10.218-05:00I like the six player idea, the extra options it g...I like the six player idea, the extra options it gives. but maybe the extra insertion points dissolute those options. <br /><br />with champions bacaball you really could see the strategy of the game, previously hard to see, as the teams change strategies constantly and the game just continues evolving as you watch. that would be cool. a good coach would really matter here. ebb and flow. <br />let's have 2 hour games and 20 man rosters (six on the field per team). big games like that would feel more rewarding in the end, be more fun to be around. they would mean more and the local scene could thrive on who beat who in the big matchup last sunday...<br />maybe we should make paintball "bigger" again, just in these ways, instead of field size/ # players on field.<br /><br />instead of the standard tournament bracket and events, let's do it like american football. big, important matches. one team vs. one team.<br /><br />teams could practice after they watch the big game that happens first at the field. <br />with 4 or 5 good fields per state with a big matchup every few sundays at each one seems pretty feasible, and not terribly hard to set up in a season-format.papa chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327300420900886575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-55315776406845308712011-01-25T03:12:54.440-05:002011-01-25T03:12:54.440-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.papa chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327300420900886575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-74055440992061923312011-01-25T03:10:25.000-05:002011-01-25T03:10:25.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.papa chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327300420900886575noreply@blogger.com
