10 Trips to the National Championships - Guaranteed!

The winner of each championship* will receive a $1,000 travel reimbursement to attend the High School National Championships, plus FREE entry and FREE case of paint!

The FREE TRIP is GUARANTEED for ALL TEN EVENTS! Even if you are the ONLY team that registers for the event, that team WILL get the FREE TRIP to the National Championships!

The High School Paintball National Championships will be held in conjunction with the College Paintball National Championships.

Compete and have Fun - Inexpensively!

NCPA High School Events are focused on being fun and affordable for players of all experience levels. All teams will be students from the same high school, so you can be confident that your opponents will be in the same age group and of a similar skill level. Your school can also enter as many teams as you want, so if you have 10 people who would like to give competitive paintball a try, your team can bring three teams and give everyone a chance.

To help keep things fun and affordable, the NCPA will be adopting a limited-paint format for 2009. Each team can start the game with either three standard-sized hoppers full of paint, or empty hoppers and four 140-round tubes of paint. You can still use whatever equipment you want, but make sure your shots count!

Don't worry too much about winning!

You probably do not know three high-level tournament players that all go to your high school. But that's OK, beause no one else does either! The NCPA High School Events are designed so you can invite people you know out to try competing and make sure everyone has a good time at a good price. And since everyone else will be doing the same thing, you just might win too!

Eligibility

All players on a team for a particular school must be eligible to play for that school as determined by NCPA rules (see below). It is NOT necessary for your team to be officially recognized by your school. The ONLY requirement is that all of your players are eligible.

For private schools, only students who actually attend that school may play on that school's team. For public schools, the following players are eligible to play on that school's team:

• Any student who is enrolled at that high school.
• Any student enrolled in junior high school who would normally proceed to attend that high school after completing junior high school.
• Any student who attends a private school, but would attend that public high school were they to leave the private school and enroll in public school.
• Any student who is home-schooled, but would attend that public high school if they enrolled in public high school.
• Any student who attends a 'magnet' school, but would attend the public high school if they elected not to attend the magnet school. To be considered a 'magnet' school, the school must accept students who would normally go to several different high schools were they not attending the magnet school, and enrollement in the magnet school must be voluntary. Voluntary means that, if the student wanted to, they could leave the magnet school AND they would then attend the team's public high school.

NO ONE ELSE is eligible to compete for a high school team. If you have any questions about eligibility rules, you should email ncpa@college-paintball.com or call (612)605-8323.

Common Questions:

My school doesn't like paintball. Can we still play? YES! The only requirement to compete is that the players on your team meet the NCPA eligibility rules (see above).

How many players may be on a team? You may have up to 5 players on the roster, but only three may play each game.

May we have more than one team? Yes! Each school may enter as many teams as they like.

My school district has two high schools. Can we play on the same team? Unfortunately, no. Each school must field its own team.

When will the layouts be released? Field layouts will not be released in advance of the events. Arrive at the event to allow time for field walking.

Are team jersies required? Although matching uniforms are encouraged, they are not requried for high school competition.
