WPL debut in Las Vegas, NV
WPL DEBUT SETS NEW BENCHMARK FOR PAINTBALL TELEVISION PRODUCTION
Last Saturday night, the Las Vegas Sports Center housed the
inaugural World Paintball League competition. Eight great teams
participated in a single elimination paintball tournament like no
other. Some of the best players in the world were captivated by the
intelligent lighting system, huge 50x100 foot cage, and the sheer
speed of game play. Teams San Diego Dynasty, Sacramento XSV, Portland
Naughty Dogs, Stoned Assassins of Southern California, Phoenix LTZ,
Oakland Empire, LA Hitmen and the Las Vegas Paintball Gladiators
competed for a second day of intense action on Sunday.
The exciting paintball action will continue at the LV Sports
Center this coming weekend November 19th at 7pm PDST and November 20th
at 1pm PDST. The general public is encouraged to come out and be a
part of the live audience. The event will be captured by
high-definition cameras for Superstation WGN. This weekend will
showcase 8 different teams coming from the Central Conference. The
teams will include the St. Louis Entourage, Chicago Resistance,
Detroit Muscle, Toronto Mavericks, Houston Rage, Dallas Drive, Memphis
Blues, and the all female team, the Milwaukee Rapture. This will mark
the first time in televised professional sports history that an all
Women's team will compete in an all male league for an entire season.
This new Professional level of the Ultimate Arena Paintball
Leagues will make its television premiere on January 7th at 3pm PDST
and again on Sunday, January 8th at 10pm PDST on Superstation WGN.
DirecTV viewers can catch the action on Ch. 307 and Dish Network can
see it on Ch. 239. Check your cable grid to find out where
Superstation WGN is for you. If you can't find WGN on your cable
system, call and insist they get with the program. 20 Million
paintball players, worldwide, can't be wrong!
