(NPPL)
Huntington Beach,
California ' With more than 12 million people now
participating in paintball tournaments or leagues in 40
countries worldwide, a Huntington Beach organization has
capitalized on that interest by growing its World Series
competition into a sell-out event.
Since 2003 National Professional Paintball League (NPPL)
and the
premier NPPL Super 7 World Series, co-hosted by Pure
Promotions, has been a whopping success. Thousands of
spectators are drawn each year to the beach to watch
teams from around the world compete at Huntington Beach,
which hosts the US Open of Surfing and Beach Games, AVP
Pro Beach Volleyball Tournament and Core Tour extreme
sports event with BMX and skateboarding.
The NPPL is a competition in which 7-player teams
compete in seeded, timed formats to capture the flag for
a win. During the competition, players that are hit or
marked by splattered paint from gelatin capsules shot
from special paint guns fall in a mock battlefield of
air-filled obstacles and mazes located on the sandy
beaches in Huntington Beach. The event is free to watch
and attracts team from around the world who fill the
hotel rooms, shops and restaurants of Huntington Beach
for the event which usually runs 3 days. Previously the
event was filmed by Fox Sports Net and aired on
television.
