UPBF Paintball World Championship 2022

Can you believe another year is almost mid-way with the UPBF Paintball World Championship 2022 just over 3 months away taking place again in conjunction with the NXL Europe event from 15-18 September in Dreux, France. With so little time left, we would like to invite countries to register their national teams that will be competing this year as quickly as possible to assist us in planning for the upcoming UPBF Paintball World Championship. We would like to have most of our national teams registered by latest 25 August 2022, allowing us at least 3 weeks for final arrangements and to work out the schedules for the World Championship categories. Please let the below information carefully for critical information about membership and registration.

REGISTRATION PROCESS:

  1. Please register your national team(s) on PBLeagues - https://pbleagues.com/event/7675 with your Country name as the team name (ex: France) in the respective UPBF category(ies) you will be competing. If you are competing in multiple categories, please add the category name after the country name (example: USA Mens, Germany Womens, Russia Veterans, Great Britain U19, Sweden U16 etc).
  2. Once registered on PBLeagues, please update your team roster as per the category requirements. The national criteria document can be found on the UPBF.net website.
  3. We will be sending out the invoices to the national associations / federations / organizations once we pick up their registration on PBLeagues. If a country did not renew their 2022 membership yet, you will be invoiced for your 2022 membership at the same time.
  4. Please NOTE - countries that does not renew and pay their membership during 2022 will be removed as members of the UPBF and will have to start the new member registration process all over again. The membership process have also been adjusted due to the UPBF being in the process to registering with GAISF. Only active and paid up members will be allowed to compete in the UPBF Paintball World Championship 2022 onwards.
  5. The UPBF will create roster announcements which we will post on social media for teams that have completed their rosters via PBLeagues. Please contact us once your roster is up to date that we can use the information that is available online to create these posts. Please try and do this as timeously as possible to allow our graphic designer enough time to get these created. You are also more than welcome to post your own roster to social media and tag the UPBF in it. Help us to create an excitement for paintball around the world again as we get ready to battle it out between countries. If specific people for your country will be responsible for a specific national team which I need to deal with, please communicate this with me timeously to make sure updated information is provided to all the relevant contacts.
