NWPS
The NWPS is also known as the Northwest Paintball Series, and features some of the most intense competitive paintball in the northeast United States. The NWPS is sponsored by some of the industry's best manufacturers, including Archon Paintball, Pro Ball Platinum, and Dye Precision. The NWPS promote paintball games that feature a high degree of sportsmanship with generous prize giveaways to the top ranked tournament teams. Every year, the NWPS has an event schedule loaded with some of the biggest tournament events in the country. In 2007, the NWPS will host several events including tourneys at Battleground Paintball Snohomish. During the 2007 season, there will be 5 major events hosted at several locations all over the U.S., with a NW Open Final 07 NWPS Event towards the end of the summer. The NWPS promotes themselves as having the fiercest competition in the northwest. Some paintball fields in the northwest include Shadow Walker Paintball Fields in Greyball Wyoming, Alpine Assault Paintball and 100 Degrees Northwest in Arlington Washington.
The NWPS has achieved a continuous success and following, and has grown into its own industry with a line of clothing and merchandise. At each event, players and fans can purchase sweatshirts, t-shirts, and paintball gear from event sponsors. The NWPS has a home office and Proshop at CDRSPORTS.com where products can be purchased at their physical location or online.
