ULTIMATE ARENA PAINTBALL ON WGN
UAPL
Television premiere on January 7th 2006
The inaugural season of the World Paintball League has been playing host to some exciting history in the making. The league's third tournament of the season was the first time in televised professional sports history that an all female team competed against all male teams within the same league. Unlike many such sporting competitions, there were no rule alterations and the women had no extra advantages.
"We are really excited to be a part of this landmark event," says Milt Call, Founder of the UAPL. Duke Hillinger, President of the UAPL, adds "There have been other battle-of-the-sexes sports events in the past, most notably Billy Jean King against Bobby Riggs, but we aren"t altering the rules one bit. We don"t need to; I've seen these women play and I hope the men understand what's in store for them."
Each week, eight professional teams from around the United States and Canada compete in a single elimination, 3-on-3, paintball tournament. The two teams battle it out in intense best of seven game matches. The tournaments are played within a 50x100 foot cage.
The exciting action takes place at the Las Vegas Sports Center on Sunset Boulevard. All the game play is captured on high definition cameras to be
broadcast on Superstation WGN.
This new Professional level of the Ultimate Arena Paintball League will make its television premiere on January 7th at 3pm PDST and again on Sunday, January 8th at 10pm PDST on Superstation WGN. Be sure to tune in the following week, January 14th, to find out how far Milwaukee Rapture, the all women's team, advances in the tournament. DirecTV viewers can catch the action on Ch. 307 and Dish Network can see it on Ch. 239. Check your cable grid to find out where Superstation WGN is for you. If you can't find WGN on your cable system, call and insist they get with the program. 20 Million paintball players, worldwide, can't be wrong!
Reserved seats and general admission tickets are available now at www.uapl.tv. A brand-new Karnivor paintball marker, as well as hundreds of other door prizes, will be given away during each day of competition.
