’m sure many of you have heard the rumors that the PSP will be reducing the rate of fire for each division. From the information that I have gathered, there is no official number for the rate of fire but it will definitely be lowered. The rumored RoF’s for Pro & Semi Pro; 12bps, D1-D3 10bps, D4-D5 8bps.
The following was was taken from PBNation from a post by Lane Wright, guy who runs PSP.
“First, I want to clear up the “ignorant” comment. I meant ignorant as it is defined — unaware because of a lack of relevant information or knowledge
If you’re me to present you with the “numbers” of other companies in order to gain your trust, that isn’t something that I can do.
I can give you this number — a group of people who contribute 1.1 million into our 2.4 million dollar operating budget say they want a lower ROF. When it gets right down to it, that’s the basis of the decision.
I agree with their interpretation of THEIR numbers and why this is what they want. I also recognize that above and beyond what they pay PSP, they put additional millions into the teams. What they want is paramount in what I do going forward. It has to be.
You are correct that I should probably “act” a little more professional. But it would be just that - an act. I’m not professional. I don’t pretend to be professional. Honestly, I don’t think it is either one of the more important or more highly regarded qualities needed to do my job well.
I don’t dress professionally. I don’t look professional. I don’t act professional. I’m not a professional. I am a paintball player who happens to get into a position to make decisions for PSP.
The rate of fire is going to be lowered. That is an absolute fact.
You guys can talk about it, complain about it, discuss the heck out of it. But the fact remains, I believe that the best thing to do for all involved is to lower the ROF.
I didn’t make this decision one night at dinner. This has been discussed and thought about for months.
I have information that isn’t, nor is it going to be, available to the masses. That’s just the way it is.
The game will still be fun for just about everyone. The best teams will still win. The best players will still be the best players. Tournament paintball will go on. Next year no one will be complaining about this. 5 years from now, no one will even remember this. I have been through dozens and dozens of changes that “everyone” said exactly this same type stuff about. Just about every one of those decisions was a good decision.
The 2 that i think were wrong –
Separating the NXL from everything.
Increasing the rate of fire because we had the technology.
Both are being corrected (my opinion).”

Team Dynasty Update
On Thursday Alex, Ryan and Yosh hung out at Bay Area Paintball, near the San Francisco airport. This was a private event for members of the video game media who got to play live paintball and the new video game (Championship Paintball 2009) with Dynasty. MTV News and IGN were there along with numerous other video game magazines and websites.
The media played "6 on 6" while Alex, Ryan, and Yosh coached them. After a few hours of the media honing their skills, Alex, Ryan and Yosh played them in a "3 on 12" match that the Dynasty boys won in about 15 seconds. That game was followed by a "2 on 12" which took about 30 seconds with the Dynasty players defeating the media again. To close out the live paintball play, Alex was challenged to a "1 on 12" that he won in just under a minute�only after someone missed him from only a few feet away.
After some rest, the visiting media and members of Team Dynasty got in front of the monitors to play the highly anticipated Championship Paintball 2009 game before its release next week. Everyone enjoyed themselves and are very excited about the new video game. You can watch the high definition trailer for the game here or the standard definition trailer here.
All members of the media went home with full sets of gear and a case of paint courtesy of JT USA, Dynasty, and Activision.
We are looking forward to the Commanders' Cup here in San Diego this weekend - hope to see you in person at Qualcomm or on the webcast!
