WHAT: Oak Forest, Ill. – Media day for the 2017 National X-Ball League (NXL) Midwest Championship will take place on Thursday, September 7 at Chicago Gaelic Park, Oak Forest, Ill. The NXL Midwest Championship comes to Chicago Gaelic Park, September 8 – 10, 2017 from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. each day. The three-day tournament will see 200+ teams, including the best professional paintball players from all over the Midwest as well as internationally, compete for the top prize.
The National Xball League is the premiere tournament paintball series in Northern America and the largest of its kind in the world. This event is a high-speed; adrenaline filled outdoor activity that brings competitors of all walks of life together for the common love of the game. NXL teams typically consist of five players (with the exception of a 2-on-2 and 10-on-10 division) on each side of the field in a timed competition as teams play game after game until the clock expires and a winner is announced. Teams then work their way through the preliminary round to earn a spot in the highly sought after Sunday finals competition, where a champion in each skill bracket and format is crowned. The series consists of five event stops that include Las Vegas, Dallas, Atlantic City, Chicago Southland and the World Cup finale in Orlando at the end of year.
