This year we will be cutting back on the shoot as fast as you want to with semi or ramp to just 15 bps per semi or ramp !! Some players thought that it made teams shoot more paint and that they needed to shoot fast to compete, but as the first place team in every event proved that it is not how fast you shoot but how you shoot, as they only shot 5 cases per event except one where they shot 6 cases as they had a playoff game. This year the GLS has had a special ball made for them and it's called "GLS PAINT" (what else) and it will be available at every event for the low price of $35 a case, now also remember that this is a byop series so if you plan on shooting GLS paint then you should order your paint ahead of time from the field that is hosting the event as they will put there orders in to me for the paint and if they run out then you may end up paying a higher price for there paint as they are not under any obligation to sell any paint for $35 except the GLS paint. We are trying to keep this a very low cost yet very competetive series and the first year proved to be a very successful one and we are tweeking some minor things to make sure that this series keeps getting bigger.
