Media Coverage at all events

·Sometimes seeing your face in the media makes it all worth while. The EPL receives noticeable media coverage from all the major paintball media outlets, it’s own thread on PB Nation as well as it’s own Facebook & Instagram pages that are updated with photos all season long.

The ZNOLY system is used for ranking players *CONTINUED FOR 2025 *

· ID cards appear useless but are a necessary evil that keeps all the sandbaggers away. If you want to play in a league that follows a national ranked system and not one that just puts your picture on a card, you are going to want to play the EPL. We track players from all the nationally and regionally ranked events to insure that players are in divisions they are meant to be in.

Certified Ref Staff – Same ref staff is used at all events

· Not only did the EPL break the mold, set by other leagues, by bringing in paid referees, they also insured that the same referees were at each event. By insuring the players of what to expect from the referee staff, players are now able to concentrate on playing their game. No more worrying about who the local ref staff is and who they want to win. Nothing but unbiased and professional refereeing is what you can expect from the EPL in 2025.

We were First Regional League to Run the Race-To Format in the Northeast and Virginia

· While other leagues were still running round robin formats, the EPL followed with the industry change of the Race-To format. Thus showing that anyone can get lucky in one match, but a truly better team could overcome and win a match. Competitiveness breeds champions, which was an end result with several teams from the EPL having podium finishes at the World Cup in Florida back through 2009-2025 And beyond.

We offer a cheaper alternative to National events.

· Playing in the big show is fun, but as most of you know, it’s also expensive. The EPL follows all guidelines of the NXL and the Raceto format. Several EPL teams had podium finishes at the World Cup which are prime examples of the type of competition the EPL consists of.

• 5-MAN RaceTo-2 entry fees will be $300.00 per event.

• Paint as low as 50.00 per case.
