After speaking with many current and past players of the PSP as well as our Master Sponsors, we have decided to make the following changes:
· Lengthen the field 10 feet per side (Total size will now be 120 x 170 feet)
· Eliminate Pit-side coaching and communication
· Field Layouts will not be released prior to the events
· Adjust position of bunkers to better suit a wider variety of players
· Adjust classification system for D1 - Pro, now that the Semi-Pro division is absent
We're taking the game in a direction that will include more players, as opposed to excluding them as has been done in the past. We need to make sure players can still compete when they turn 30 or are not in a financial position to practice every weekend. We feel this is the right thing to do for our customers and our business as well as the sport and industry.
The PSP is here for the long run. These steps are in an effort to include more people in the game, while still making sure the ones with the best paintball skills win. More information on the 2011 season will be released in the weeks to come at http://www.pspevents.com.
