Editing New England Express (section)

=== Formation of the NPPL (1992–1993) ===

New England Express was represented at the November 1992 meeting in Chicago that helped establish the National Professional Paintball League.

The meeting was convened by Steve Davidson and brought together representatives of leading tournament teams, equipment manufacturers, promoters and paintball publications.

Participating organisations included the All Americans, Chicago Aftershock, Ironmen, Bad Company, Constant Pursuit, Master Blasters and New England Express. [1]

[[Al Podufaly]], representing N.E. Express, was appointed to the promotions and marketing committee alongside Fred Schultz of Constant Pursuit, Ron Kilbourne of the Bushwackers and Bill Gardner of the All Americans.

Podufaly was also named among the participants in the rules committee discussions. [1]

The meeting established proposals for a national professional competition structure, including tournament rules, entry fees, prize requirements and officiating arrangements.

The NPPL subsequently began its inaugural season in 1993.
