The NXL World Cup of Paintball is Back!
November 11 – 15, 2020
5990 W Osceola Parkway, Kissimmee, FL 34746
Six months ago, as the Los Angeles Ironmen were being crowned 2020 Las Vegas Pro Champs for the NXL season opener, little did we know what the rest of the year had in store. We certainly never expected to have to cancel the majority of this season’s events around the world. As much as we wanted to start hosting events again, or at the least let the paintball industry know our plans for the remainder of the season, there were still too many unknowns for us to make any concrete decisions.
The NXL has carefully considered how we can safely and effectively run a world-class event that would match the level of quality and competition our customers expect. After meeting extensively with local authorities, health consultants, and event promoters from other sports, we feel confident that we can host the most loved paintball tournament of all time; the NXL World Cup. We thank you in advance for your cooperation as we will need everyone to work together in abiding by the policies and restrictions in place to ensure a safe environment for players, spectators, vendors, and staff.
What will be different?
While the famous VIP and Grandstands will have limited seating, there will be a free-of-charge extended open-air viewing area of the Pro Field that also connects to the NXL Beer Garden. This viewing area will be for all ages. There will also be televisions around the site showing the live GoSports broadcast of the Pro action. More details on VIP and Grandstand ticket options will soon be available at NXLPaintball.com.
There will be one-way traffic lanes to make sure players and fans are able to properly space apart while walking throughout the trade show and through the pits.
Additional cleaning measures will be in place for high touch areas throughout each day. These areas include restrooms, handwash stations, staging areas, field access points, and points of sale.
To reduce congestion in the pits, there will be a limited number of teams allowed for some of the formats and divisions. To secure a team spot, entry fees must be paid in full online through pbleagues.com. Those team caps are:
Pro 20 Teams (invite only)
Semi Pro 20 Teams
D2 Xball: 20 Teams
D3 Xball: 40 Teams
D4 Xball: 40 Teams
5-man: 80 Teams
10-man Amateur: 36 Teams
10-man Open: 18 Teams
Mounds 5-man: 20 Teams
Mounds 10-man: 16 Teams
What will be the same?
Pretty much everything you have come to love about the World Cup, you can expect to experience at this year’s much-longed-for event. We will be spreading everyone out and even limiting the number of teams, but we are not taking any of the magic away that makes World Cup the greatest event in paintball. NXL World Cup brought to you by Kissimmee Sports will once again be held across from the Ga***rd Palms Resort in Kissimmee, Florida (5990 W Osceola Parkway, Kissimmee, FL 34746). The World Cup venue is near the heart of Old Town Kissimmee and just outside of Walt Disney World! Thousands of paintball enthusiasts from all over the world are able to make a dream vacation by enjoying the World Cup by day and the Kissimmee Attractions by night! Many groups extend their stay to enjoy all that Kissimmee has to offer.
