The USPL released the "new" rulebook for 2009. It looks very similar to that of the NPPL in 2008, with minor changes. ProPaintball.com has the low-down HERE. Personally, I never paid too much attention to NPPL, it really didn't seem like the NPPL was all that important. It seemed much like a West coast league. And compared to X-ball, isn't really all that exciting. In my opinion, 7-man should have a ROF cap. The old NPPL didn't see many big, exciting moves like we do in X-ball because every player was just sitting behind a bunker holding a lane down. The USPL could have semi-auto, with a ROF cap of 18 bps. That will keep your semi-auto fan boys happy, because they can keep they're triggers as bouncy and illegal as usual. That will hopefully keep your unlimited bps fan boys happy because it's a high ROF. Even though hitting 18 bps with a legal trigger is unheard of.
The USPL seems to be resurrecting the old NPPL, which seems like a good idea seeing that the NPPL was doing well with events. As long as the USPL can run the events correctly and run this season as the NPPL would have, it'll be considered a successful year.
I guess we'll see how it goes, Huntington Beach is only a few weeks away.

The strong will survive. Not necessarily the "right" fields. Fads and passing trends will continue to drive the train. But the strong will survive.
Exactly, the shop at where I work has been able to survive off a consistant player base and keeping prices above MAP.
Rumor mill says that the USPL will be a 1 and done thing. After HB, no more events.
-TB
I doubt that will happen unless they find a way to destroy HB.
If they do it right they'll be claimed as saints and the people will just want more.
