After much anticipation and anxiety, PSP has released the official schedule for the 2013 season. Last year, the opening event was hosted on Galveston Island, TX, which turned into a disaster with hurricane-like weather wreaking havoc throughout every field on the little island. This year things will be different. Texas will be the opening state, but Dallas will replace Galveston Island.
The PSP has just posted the five event schedule on their website stating, “Starting with our Season Opener held just outside of Dallas, TX where the city’s slogan is ‘Big Things Happen Here’. March 15 – 17, 2013 paintball players, vendors and fans from all over the world will suddenly pick up a southern drawl as they descend upon Dallas, Texas to compete for the toughest title in our sport: PSP Champions.”
The first event has been confirmed as the PSP Dallas Open and will be held at Cousins Paintball Dallas. Three of the five events are confirmed: Dallas Open, Chicago Open, World Cup.

So if Event #4 stays the same, what happens to the teams in Denver at the NPPL?
That will leave a bad taste in peoples mouths. I doubt that the date will remain the same, or rather, I hope. I’m hoping that the PSP will take into account what the teams have to got through.

Do you really think this is not calculated move on the part of PSP. Its about time one of the leagues forced the hand of the other. I think its a great move.
Seems that way.
Dallas, cannot wait!
Indeed.
Good caz i live here
Why would the Psp give two SH?TS about the nppl? If the nppl had all the marbles they would do the same thing.
What about a California event?
