I’m recapping the NXL Tampa Bay Open! From the new scoring rules to the stadium experience and pro results, join me as I dive into the highlights and behind-the-scenes moments from the event.
I just got back from two intense days at the NXL Tampa Bay Open, and there is a lot to unpack. In this episode, I’m breaking down my personal experience inside the stadium—from the pirate ship views to the surprisingly fast-paced gameplay. We dive deep into the pro results, including Red Legion’s big win and the standout performance of rookie Thomas Harure. I also discuss the new NXL rules that replaced margin with point-scoring incentives, which visually sped up the game even if the stats tell a slightly different story. Plus, I share my thoughts on the "Hall of Icons" inductees, highlights from the 3v3 and WNXL divisions, and some behind-the-scenes stories from the Major League Paintball production crew. Whether you're curious about the "stadium aroma," the price of NFL-level concessions, or how the limited paint rules are shaking up the pro ranks, I’ve got you covered. This is my honest take on what worked, what didn't, and why this event felt like a milestone for the sport.
