It is no secret that tournement paintball has been strugling for some time. Increased cost in living combined with the tough economic times have taken their toll on everyone. There were rumors for some time that the PSP Paintball League and the NPPL Paintball League were talking about a posible merger. The rumors were true. While the merger was not completed, both parties stay commited to a posible merger for the furtue! Below is a joint press release from the PSP and NPPL.
"Dear Industry Members, Teams, Players and Supporters,
In June of this year, the PSP management and the NPPL management met in Las Vegas for a meeting to construct the framework for a merged or newly combined entity to host one paintball tournament event series for 2012 and beyond. Both the PSP and the NPPL supported by the majority of the industry felt that given the past erosion of our industry and the current economic uncertainty, that one league hosting a series of events would be the best thing for everyone involved. After additional meetings in New Jersey, Orlando and Las Vegas combined with countless phone conferences and email correspondence, we were unable to come to an agreement that satisfied both parties. Given the time that is left in the calendar year and the quickly approaching 2012 tournament season, we have exhausted the time to negotiate further.
The PSP & NPPL staff fully recognizes the benefits of a combined league for 2012 and with the most genuine of intentions, deployed all assets and made every effort to make one league a reality for the paintball community. We believe the PSP & NPPL organizations pursued the negotiations with the same intentions and shared our desire to be successful. The PSP & NPPL both recognize the termination of negotiations as a temporary setback but remain committed and optimistic to merging for one league in the future. We want to thank the staff of both the PSP & NPPL and sincerely appreciate the efforts they made to consummate a combined entity.
Regards,
The PSP & NPPL Management."

Virtue Paintball is a leader in high end paintball accessories. The Virtue Paintball Crown 2 combines a hard plastic ring with 10 individually replaceable, ultrasoft fingers. The hard ring, combined with silicone elastomer fingers prevents sagging and allows lightning fast feeding.
Each Crown 2 comes with 10 long and 5 short fingers, so you can decide to use a combination of all long or half long half short fingers.
FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE
Clip in the fingers you want for the type of performance and style you need. Use larger Ultrasoft fingers for fast and secure feeding or shorter Ultra-Thin fingers for lightning fast performance. Combine the two for the best of both worlds.
RELIABLE PERFORMANCE
Crown2 fingers are made from Silicone Elastomer. This new material allows Crown2 fingers to bend under the weight of a single ball and offers the best Compression and Bend Recovery Performance of any speedfeed. Crown2 fingers bounce back into shape after being compressed thousands of times. Additionally, the combination of a hard plastic base ring and soft elastomer fingers give the Crown2 even better Resistance to Sagging.
FUTURE UPGRADABLE
Is the Crown2, the LAST Speed Feed you will ever buy? We think so. With a Lifetime Warranty on the base ring, and individually replaceable fingers, you’ll never need another Speed Feed. Simply upgrade the Fingers as you go. Dozens of Finger designs and Colors are planned so you can maximize performance and customize the look of your hopper.

A few weeks ago, Angel Paintball, a leader in very high end paintball guns such as the Angel SB, announced that they would be closing their doors. With their customer base, history of excellence it is almost a sure bet that someone will be purchasing what is left and any/all assets. Rumors have surfaced that Tippmann Sports may be the one to purchase them.
It comes at no surprise that Tippmann Sports may want to,has or is planning on acquiring Angel. The last few years has seen a huge expansion in Tippmann Products and Tippmann goods. Tippmann is no longer a 1-2 gun model manufacture. They are now a complete, and competitive one. From low end guns, to high end scenario markers, tanks and even goggles Tippmann pretty much has it all. Last year Tippmann went out and purchased NXE Paintball and since then, packs and soft goods has exploded! If and when Tippmann Sports Purchases Angel, you can guarantee to see some very innovative, cool and simply unbelievable paintball gear!
