Recientemente he leido el siguiente artículo acerca de la United Paintball Federation

¿Alguien sabe algo? ¿Alguien sabe como puede afectar algo a Milenium y sobre todo al reglamento Milenium, que es al fin y al cabo por el que nos guiamos todos?

The Paintball League
The PSP is pleased to announce our participation in the first worldwide paintball organization, the UPBF (United Paintball Federation).

What is the UPBF?

The UPBF is simply the unification of national federations and tournament series in order to have a representing organizational paintball body. This body was created to deal with official sports organization such as the Olympic Games, National Organizations, etc. It was also formed to have communal paintball rules, refereeing, ID systems, etc.

Some of the UPBF objectives are:
# To improve the game of paintball continuously and promote it globally in the light of unifying educational, cultural and humanitarian values particularly through youth and development programs.
# To draw up regulations (Rules, Refereeing, Disciplinary, Players statue, etc.) and provisions and ensure their enforcement.
# To prevent all methods or practices which might jeopardize the integrity of matches or competitions or give rise to the abuse of paintball associations.


How does it work?

The UPBF is consists of confederations and national associations and has an administration which is supported by different committees under the control of the Executive Committee.

Confederations - The confederations are the umbrella organizations of the national paintball associations on each continent. Each one provides support to UPBF without encroaching on the rights of the national associations. In fact, the confederations actually raise the profile of paintball further by staging their own competitions at the club and international level and through a range of other activities.

# APBF: (American Paintball Federation) Operate in North and Central America and the Caribbean with series like PSP, CFOA.

# EPBF: (European Paintball Federation) Operate in Western and Eastern Europe with series like Millennium, Centurio.
# APPBF: (Asian-Pacific Paintball federation) operate in Asia and Pacific with series like PALS.
# SAPBF: (South American Paintball Federation) operate in South America with series like the CSP.

# AFPBF: (African Paintball Federation) operate in Africa.

Associations and Committees

Associations - UPBF supports the associations logistically through various programs and grants them a number of attractive rights and privileges. As representatives of UPBF in their countries, these associations also have obligations. They must respect the statutes, aims and ideals of paintball's governing body and promote and manage our sport accordingly.

Committees - The UPBF consists of several committees and 2 legislative bodies, the disciplinary committee and the appeal committee. The committees play a critical role in making decisions on the organization of tournaments and the development of paintball in general. Decisions made by the committees are ratified by the Executive Committee; effectively UPBF's board of directors. The Executive Committee is composed of the UPBF President (who chairs the committee), 4 vice-presidents, 14 members, one observer and the UPBF General Secretary, who takes part ex-officio in all committee meetings.

si que hemos oido algo, en el general esta colgado, la verdad es que este hilo no concuerda mucho con tecnica general, Fernando si lo lees, a ve si tomas la desicion de traspasarlo, porque mas bien parece un poco dentre de AEJUPA o GENERAL, pero si la united de momento no tiene planes de modificar ni a millennium ni a NPPL, simplemente esta buscando (De momento) unificar un poco los reglamentos, arbitraje que trabaje para las dos y un par de detalles mas, ademas de conformar una junta directiva con gente de todos los continentes para unificar posiciones sobre los datos a debatir.
