The National Xball League’s 2016 season opener will be held at the Craig Ranch Regional Park in Las Vegas March 18th – 20th! Located 10 miles (about 20 minutes) from the north end of the world famous Las Vegas strip; Craig Ranch Regional Park is conveniently just outside of the strip’s congestion, but close enough for teams wanting to enjoy the full experience of Las Vegas. With the speedway and downtown Las Vegas near by, there are plenty of hotel options for teams not wanting to stay in a casino along the strip. Being the vacation destination that Vegas is, there are also many beautiful homes available for large groups to rent and enjoy!
New Division for Beginners: The D-500 Limited-Paint Division
The NXL is introducing a new 5man division to beginner players (beginner and D5 classifications) wanting to try a limited-paint format. The D-500 will limit each player to 500 rounds of paint per match (three pods and one loader). The entry fee to this division is $1,250 and includes the cost of paint.* Teams will receive the paint vouchers at registration and will be able to redeem the D-500 exclusive paint through any of the NXL paint vendors.* D-500 teams will compete on Saturday and Sunday.
The Trade Show and Team Check-In will begin on St. Patty’s Day, Thursday March 17th. Games for the Xball formats will begin Friday, March 18th while 5man formats are played on Saturday and/or Sunday. Team and Player Registration for all nine divisions is now open on-line at http://playnxl.com/ and HERE.
Grandstand Tickets: Perfect for the family
As with all NXL events, spectators are welcome to enjoy the trade show and watch the divisional games free of charge (even parking is free!).

VIP Lounge: Upgrade to a table in the shade
What would Vegas be without a VIP lounge? A special VIP section will be set up along the pro field where VIP ticket holders can enjoy their drinks and treats while watching the Pro games from the comfort of tabled seating under a tented section behind the Pro Field start gate. Ticket holders will also have in and out access to the grandstand seating. NXL staff will be selling both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages to both VIP ticket holders as well as grandstand ticket holders. Lounge passes are sold HERE for $25 per day/$60 for all three days.
Owner’s Box: The Ultimate Experience
Is the VIP Lounge not “VIP” enough for you? An all-inclusive VIP option is available in the more exclusive “Owner’s Box” where patrons are waited on in a full-service setting along the Pro Field. Owner’s Box ticket holders will appreciate the company of industry leaders in a comfortable, covered viewing area including complimentary amenities such as warm meals, a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and convenient access to a private restroom. Tickets to the Owner’s Box are limited and start at $175 per day or $425 for all three days. To purchase grandstand, VIP or Owners Box passes in advance, please visit PlayNXL.com or click here.
