Hi guys! Sorry I haven't been posting but we've been working on the new website which will launch Monday as well as locking in all the details for the 2009 season. Here are some quick answers with much more information on the way!

You will be able to purchase various brands of paint from $35 - $55 per case - there will be arrangements made for teams who have paint sponsors as well.

Hotel rates for multiple properties will come out Monday, I'm just waiting on the confirmation codes. Rates start at $99 per night

We are still looking at the schedule to see if we'll be able to have a pump division; again if we do have pump it will be on Sunday only.

All divisions (D1, D2, D3 and D3 5-man) will play Fri, Sat with Finals on Sun. Pros will play Fri, coach Divisional teams on Saturday/mingle in the tradeshow and play their finals on Sunday.

The event is on the beach and closer to the pier than the past couple of years. 1st Street and Pacific Coast Highway are the cross streets (right across from TK Burger, Dairy Queen and Sparks for the veterans out there!!).

The rules will be based off of the 2008 NPPL Rule book with very few modifications.

There will be 1 field layout per event, and you will get to vote on which layout you prefer right here on our PbNation forum. Only field modification is the center bunker is a “U”

Roster cap is 10 players for divisional 7-man (12 for pros) and 7 for 5-man

We are using APPA, classifications coming in a separate post.

Format – same as NPPL but there may be shorter time between your games (still working on that schedule).

Registration opens this Monday at www.USPaintballLeague.com !!

P.S. Thank you so much for all the emails of support – we really appreciate all of your help in creating this league... your league. Have a great Valentine’s weekend everyone!
