With the rate of fire change in the PSP it looks like the CFOA is following suit, by going to the 12.5BPS caps. All the other leagues out their that are PSP rules or Race2 formats will most likly do the same.

Smart Parts Temporary Closure

Smart Parts Inc., undergoes temporary closure for restructuring during the month of January 2009.

Loyalhanna, PA – January 6, 2009 – Paintball manufacturer Smart Parts, Inc. is temporarily shutting down all manufacturing and sale operations in order to facilitate a corporate restructuring. During this time, the company will not be able accept or process orders, ship or receive products or perform repairs. The restructuring process is expected to be completed by the end of January 2010.

“It is important that people do not send equipment in for service during this time,” said company Vice President, Adam Gardner. “Our buildings will not be staffed during the restructuring, so there will be no one there to receive packages. They will automatically be refused and returned to the sender.

“To the players, field owners and store owners, please know that we appreciate your support and are looking forward to a fresh start for the 2010 paintball season. We apologize for any inconvenience this short closure may cause, and hope to make it up to you in the future.”

Smart Parts, Inc., is a leading developer and manufacturer of equipment and accessories for the sport of paintball.

Really this is like 3 years over due. In the last few years the crossfire regs have SUCKED. They fail a lot and the pressures are just way to high. Sorry picture is so.

Micro Crossfire Features:
3/4 inch shorted that original crossfire
1.5oz lighter
Micro Gauge
Rebulidable (its about time!)

The Best part is that you can send in your old crossfire reg and get the new one for only $25. This is cool as I have 10 that don’t work :) Head over to crossfireinc.com.

The PSP have just announced they the will be adjusting the cap through all division to 12.5 PBS. This doesn’t seem as a surprise as a lot of people didn’t like the bump all the way down to 10. Personally I wish they would go back to 15. But I think that 12.5 sounds like it will be the magic number for now anyway. Doesn’t it seem that every year there is a rate of fire change?

Looks like they aren’t going to use anymore USPL branding. Good decision. I really am hoping that the events this year do WAY better then the last. I love X-Ball or Race2, whatever you want to call it. But it would be sad to see 7man go away. Where would all us fat guys go?

Following the conclusion of the extremely successful 2009 Paintball World Cup, PSP immediately began working overtime on the 2010 season, applying decades of combined international-level tournament event experience to making the world’s best tournament series even better. After weeks of careful research and deliberation, PSP is pleased to announce several dramatic improvements for the 2010 season.

Recognizing that lodging, rental car and meal costs plus time away from work and school commitments can be significant costs faced by players and that these costs are especially acute in today’s economic environment, PSP will invest in building and running additional fields so events can run one day shorter while keeping the same number of preliminary matches for each division. Chicago Open and World Cup will be scheduled as 4-day events to run from Thursday through Sunday, and all other events as 3-day events to run from Friday through Sunday. Day-by-day schedules for each division are available at www.pspevents.com.

With the support of APPA’s comprehensive player classification system, PSP will be refining classification rules for 2010 to provide both more recognition for players who perform well and more flexibility for all players to move up and down classification levels. Players will no longer advance in classification simply by playing a higher division twice, but instead must reach a minimum performance level to be promoted. Additionally, older events will count less towards a player’s classification. These changes will be effective retroactively when registration opens for the first PSP event so players who played higher division events years ago or did not perform well in a higher division may find their classification lowered for the 2010 season. All the details of the classification rules will be posted shortly at www.pspevents.com.

In conjunction with the classification changes, PSP will be adjusting entry fees and prizes for 2010 to provide even greater rewards for players and teams who advance divisions. Because all teams playing the same RaceTo format and point goal will now pay the same entry fee, teams will no longer be “rewarded” for moving up by paying a higher entry fee. Prizes will also be distributed with greater emphasis towards rewarding teams choosing to compete in higher divisions. The new 2010 entry fees are now available and prize packages will be listed very soon at www.pspevents.com.

With the dramatic improvements that have been made this year, PSP will also continue to build on its successes from the past. PSP will continue to offer our acclaimed RaceTo format throughout all divisions. To avoid equipment changes for players, PSP will carry forward the same rate-of-fire rules to next season. PSP has also taken into consideration a plethora of suggestions, and will continue to improve upon and expand its world-class officiating that has become known as the best in the sport. The APPA will continue to provide the most convenient online and on-site registration process and the most comprehensive player tracking system available. As always, PSP will continue to hold our events on the best playing surfaces possible at the highest quality locations. Finally, as always, PSP will provide the highest levels of service to our players, teams, vendors, sponsors and affiliates, and will continue to improve our relationships at all levels.

PSP wishes everyone who loves paintball a Happy New Year. In this spirit of celebration, PSP would like to announce the dates for our first event of the 2010 season. The Phoenix Open will take place from March 19th through March 21st at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. We hope to see many new and familiar faces at this proven, world-class facility. Registration for the Phoenix Open will open on January 19.

The entry fees for the 2010 PSP season are as follows:

Pro RaceTo-7: $2,500

Semi-Pro RaceTo-7: $2,500

D1 RaceTo-5: $2,750

D2 RaceTo-5: $2,750

D3 RaceTo-4: $2,500

D4 RaceTo-4: $2,500

D3 RaceTo-2: $1,100

D4 RaceTo-2: $1,100

I still think that the first installment of the Girls of Paintball back in 2004 with Lisa Harvey and Keely was the best.
