We have started the UWL to create a venue for paintball teams to compete in the woods. The league is designed for scenario teams, old school 10 man teams, and anyone who wants to play paintball the way it was meant to be played. We at the UWL would like you to take a look at what we have planed for the 2010 season. Please provide us with feedback and suggestions that will help make the UWL fun and competitive for everyone.

As you look around the site you'll find out why our unique format takes the best parts of tournament play and brings them to a woods/scenario environment. Never before has there been a way to track and rank your skills and abilities against players from all over the world. The UWL changes all that - bringing competitive paintball back to the format and location it's always belonged.
