Paintball on a Higher Level
I spent the 2008 season back in paintball working for the NPPL as their in-house event photographer. When I showed up in San Diego for the last event of the season it never occurred to me that this was the final NPPL event. Ever.
I went to my first NPPL event in 1998 (Chicago Open). And I played the 2000 season with Farside’s second team. While working for P8NT I was deep on the inside of the political ins and outs of the league – I was there when the split between the NPPL and the promoters group (which became the PSP) happened – I was at the meeting in the Chicago O’Hare Hilton when Jerry Braun said that the promoters group would be fighting for the name, a fight they ultimately lost to Pure Promotions (aka – WDP).
I got the call about the end of the league via an e-mail from Camille Lemenski the Monday after Thanksgiving, from her personal e-mail. The business ones had already been shut down. The phones were gone. The office locked and shuttered.
It happens that fast.
Last I heard the name, NPPL, went for $1500 in auction. Chuck Hendsch, the former President of the league, bought it.
Below are a selection of photos I took at that last, and what turned out to be penultimate, event.
Chris Dilts is a photographer living and working in Chicago. He flies a lot and dislikes airports more than he used to.
