NXL's Stadium Future, Summit Awards & From Around the Internet

2026-04-08

I’m diving into the future of stadium paintball after the NXL Tampa Open, covering the 2024 Summit Award winners, new game formats being tested, and the latest gear from Carbon and BFP Gear.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the aftermath of the NXL Tampa Open and what it means for the future of stadium paintball. I share some behind-the-scenes insights from Tom Cole regarding attendance numbers, the potential for returning to the stadium next year, and the rumors of a Netflix pilot being filmed on-site. I also discuss a mysterious new game format currently in testing that could move away from traditional speedball toward something more urban or "Counter-Strike" inspired. I walk through the recent Summit Award winners, sharing my hits and misses on predictions for Coach of the Year, Rookie of the Year, and the top pro players across every position. Plus, I take a look at the upcoming ICPL Golden State Classic and the nostalgia of classic 7-man and 10-man woodsball. To wrap things up, I answer your questions from the live chat about the iconic Smart Parts Ion, the reliability of the Planet Eclipse Etha 3, and why I can't stop playing with my Emek.
