It looks like the NPPL will be sticking to just four events this year as they did in 2011 now that they have decided to postpone their Vancouver-based event, citing the lack of funds many teams suffer from. Here is the official statement released by their board of directors:

 

“The NPPL Board of Directors after speaking to players, teams and sponsors has decided to reschedule Vancouver.  The main reasons for dropping Vancouver from the 2012 schedule is the economy is still tight and teams, sponsors have expressed they can only afford to go to 4 events this season. Furthermore, there were concerns about getting supplies and equipment across the boarder.   We are looking at the possibility of hosting the event in 2013 which will allow the league, teams and sponsors more time to plan, promote and take care of logistics for running a successful tournament. The NPPL views Canada as a growing paintball tournament market and looks to promote more feeders and teams in Canada this year. The League hopes players; teams and sponsors will respect and support our decision to postpone Vancouver for one year.”
