NPPL to Showcase NCPA College Competition at Huntington Beach

Adding to the already incredible level of excitement surrounding the finals of a NPPL Super-7 tournament, the National Professional Paintball League (NPPL) will be hosting a special division of competition featuring college teams from the National Collegiate Paintball Association (NCPA) on Sunday, March 21.

Top college teams from across the country will travel to Huntington Beach, California to compete in the 5-man competition, which will count towards NCPA season standings. Schools expected to have teams in attendance include #1 Iowa State University, #3 Illinois State University, #6 University of Illinois, #13 Michigan Tech University, #21 United States Military Academy, #22 Louisiana State University, #38 University of Georgia, University of California-Davis, University of Nevada-Las Vegas and others.

All college competition will be on Sunday. The final match will be played on the same NPPL showcase field as top international Professional teams like Dynasty, the Naughty Dogs, Russian Legion, Bad Company and France's Ton Tons, in front of grandstands seating thousands of spectators. "The NCPA exists to promote paintball," said NCPA President Chris Raehl. "This is an opportunity to show the public that not only is paintball a safe, fun sport, but also a sport supported by some of the country's most prestigious educational institutions. It's great to have this chance to show the public more of what paintball has to offer."

While there are still a few spots left, the tournament is limited to 16 teams, so schools who are interested in competing should register as soon as possible. All players on a team must meet NCPA eligibility requirements, including being full-time graduate or undergraduate students at the same college or university.
