PSP and APPA celebrate 10 years together

PSP and APPA Celebrate 10 Years Together, Stay United for 2012 Season

January 4, 2012 – Paintball Sports Promotions, operators of the most popular paintball tournament series in the world, is pleased to announce the renewal through 2012 of its contract for APPA’s advanced paintball registration system. With the contract renewal, PSP’s players will continue to enjoy the most convenient registration process possible while being sure they are competing against fairly-matched opponents.



APPA provides the only complete registration system for paintball tournaments, including player and team signup and achievement tracking, payment processing, ID card issuance, scheduling and scoring. Players and teams can sign up for events online and receive instant confirmation of their payment status. A streamlined ID card issuing process, including ExpressPass through PSPIDs.com, let’s players conveniently know the current status of their ID card, from photo upload to approval to card printing and issuance, with instant email notifications when the player’s card is printed or if a photo can’t be used. Once players are checked in, PSPIDs.com also shows each player’s real-time game results and upcoming game schedule. And APPA allows each player to see the complete history of results of every game and tournament they have ever played in and compare their standing with other players and teams.

“It would be simply impossible to provide the quality events our players expect without the APPA system,” said PSP COO Lane Wright. “On top of all the benefits our customers are familiar with, the system optimizes or even eliminates many tasks facing tournament promoters, allowing us to save untold amounts of time and money.”



“We’re very pleased to be supporting PSP for the 10th consecutive season,” said APPA President and creator Chris Raehl. “We’re proud to help provide the best experience possible to the players in the most popular league in the world, and look forward to seeing all of PSP’s players this season.”

PSP Confirm 2012 Dates and Venues

After a very successful season, PSP has chosen to maintain the schedule and venues that served so well in 2011 but, in keeping with their desire to accommodate the players and fans, have inserted a favorite venue from years past into the second tournament slot. Galveston Island, Texas will kick off the season at GI Paintball March 9 – 11 with Phoenix, Arizona’s Glendale Youth Sports Soccer Complex outside of the University of Phoenix Stadium hosting the 2nd event April 20 – 22. The PSP will return to CPX Sports Park of Joliet, IL for a 4-day event June 21 – 24 followed by the 4th event of the season at Top Gun Paintball Park in Cream Ridge, NJ August 10 – 12. The PSP World Cup will once again take place at Polk City, Florida’s Fantasy of Flight October 18 – 21, 2012. Players and Teams will be able to begin registering for these events through the APPA at www.pspevents.com this week.
