AGES: You must be at least 10 years of age to play at The Badlandz, Tournament or no tournament.
You may play in the Young Guns 3-Man until your 17th birthday. The day you turn 17 you're no longer allowed in.

Reffing: We do not require the D2 winner to ref the next season. The Timberlords are welcome to play all of '08.

We will probably be using players from the following teams; Shock Kidz, Old Chi-Town Raiders and Corruption.

We're still talking to them so we'll keep you updated.
The problem with the Shock Kidz reffing is that none of their players will be allowed to compete and they may not like that.

R.O.F.: We will be following the P.S.P. rules concerning this issue.

7 Events for your Midwest tournament

Until the N.P.P.L. releases their full schedule we don't want to lock these down so hang on 'till ya tell the family you're going to miss that big reunion this summer.

(We skipped the June event so we can all concentrate on the P.S.P. Chicago Open and rep' the MW)

The last two dates may need to change, because in case you haven't noticed, the Commanders Cup and the World Cup are the same week. Our guess is the N.P.P.L event will move a week or two, but you never know!

Voltage is out and the Chi-Town Raiders are in. Two years ago Voltage ran away with the series so we asked them to reff in order to give other teams an opportunity to grow. They agreed and stepped up. Now the same thing happened to the Raiders. So we asked them to step up and take over where Voltage left off. So, all events will be reffed by the Chi-Town Raiders. (Now nobody on the team can play in the events anymore; not CTR1, CTR2 or CTR3.

We're sticking with the "Bring Your Own Paint" way of doing things and all Entry Fee's will remain the same as 2006- NO INCREASE!!!

AND...

The PRIZE PACKAGE IS INCREASING!!!
That's right, companies from all around the nation have noticed how the Chi-Town Series has grown and how serious our participants are about advancing and playing national events. You've stepped up, now they are noticing and stepping up too!

This season expect more out-of-state teams than ever before! More of Michigan's finest, some Iowa gunslingers, Wisconsin killers and we've always had strong Indiana representation. But who knows what 2007 will bring.

AND THEY ALL HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON:




AND A BIG OL' PIECE OF

RETURNING SPONSORS:

 
 

THESE NEVER HURT EITHER!

 

NOT SURE WHAT SERIES TO PLAY?

Ask your teamates and the other series coordinators these questions, it should make your decision a little easier:

1) Do they let you bring your own paint?

2) Can you bring your own food and drinks?

3) Can you bring your family and friends to watch you through 20' high fully netted fields?

4) Do they guarantee all games will be on Airball?

5) Will you be playing more than one field?

6) Are they guaranteeing the prize package? (No Pro-Rating)

7) Non-Playing Ref's? ( You should not have to be judged by people that you will have to play later!)

8) Do they have a track record of advancing teams up through the ranks to Regional and National events? (not theoretical, Actual)

9) Will you have the ability to practice the fields in advance? (Just like the majors.)

10) Do they allow ramping? ( or are they holding back the equipment you've paid for?)

Here's our answer to all 10 Questions: YES.

 


2006 TOURNAMENT RE-CAP
 

The Chi-Town Series would like to Thank the 80+ teams that competed this year! Congratulations to the Raiders for their wins in both D2 and D3!!!

The Chi-Town Series has been instrumental in bringing a cohesive structure for team success in the MidWest. Voltage started locally and won the series, then they reached out regionally and now they're winning nationally, in fact ranked #1 PSP D2 X-Ball.

Year after year the best teams in the Midwest make their way to the Chi-Town Series. Now that the Raiders have won D2 their players will have to move on and their D3 team will have to move up to D2. Will they go on to be the next Voltage? Will you come on board to be the next Raiders?

The 2007 Chi-Town Series is sure to have more prizes, more teams and the best competition in the Midwest!

Thank You to all the participants and Good Luck at the World Cup! Check back for more 2007 details, Coming Soon!

ABOUT THE CHI-TOWN SERIES
In our continued effort to grow the sport of competitive paintball in the Midwest and specifically in the Chicago area, the Chi-town Series is proud to continue the Bring Your Own Paint Policy.

Additionally, not only will you receive prizes for the series, the winning teams at each event will take home thousands of dollars in cash and prizes.

Once again, the Chitown Series will be utilizing The Badlandz Paintball Field as the host for all of the events. The Badlandz is the only facility in the Chicagoland area capable of handling the amount of fields needed, air requirements, staging areas, and many other tournament necessities. As you are looking through the site please note that the 2007 prize package is increasing at a time when many other series are reducing !
