World Paintball League - Xtreme Paintball
Do you have what it takes? That is one of the slogans of the World Paintball league. The World Paintball league is also known as the Ultimate Arena Paintball League, or UAPL. The UAPL colors are red and blue, and their logo is similar to the MCB logo except it is a white silhouette of a paintball player in action. Paintball is one of the fastest sports in the country, with a growing list of players and fans every year. And paintball on television has long been hailed as the next big breakthrough in the game. The fundamental idea was the if paintball could attract a national television contract and a loyal viewer following, the world paintball league could dramatically increase the number of players and greater number means both revenue and political clout. The world paintball league was one of the first leagues to land a regular TV contract, and they are now broadcast every Saturday and Sunday on the Superstation WGN. UAPL games are broadcast every Saturday at 6p/et and every Sunday at 1am EST. Also, Dish Network viewers can see UAPL games on channel 239 and Direct TV viewers can watch players bunker each other on channel 307.
