After the 2020/2021 season had to be canceled for most teams after just one or two matchdays, there was a long break. But now there finally seems to be light at the end of the tunnel and the German Paintball League is preparing to finally give the long-awaited starting signal for paintball tournaments in Germany. In today's article on the subject of DPL, we have put together all the latest information and the most important news for you, and we want to bring you up to date on what else awaits us in the tournament year 2021, but also what may no longer be possible will be.
First things first! – As of today, all DPL venues and training fields are open again. So normal training and game operations are finally taking place again and the preparation for the season can finally start. Of course, the more ambitious teams already know this and have been out on the fields for several weeks to shake off the rust of the extremely long break and to get fit for the season. Anyone who hasn't started yet should do so now at the latest, because good preparation is the be-all and end-all for a successful tournament season. So that you also know where you can train best, we have attached the current list of the DPL venues and the official DPL training fields here and visualized the open fields on the map.
Since the 2020/2021 season unfortunately had to be canceled due to corona, the teams will start the new 2021/2022 season directly from August. Before that, there will be three weekends in July with appointments for referee training. The DPL has restructured and further improved the specifications and standards for the training of the so-called "Marshalls". This should significantly improve the level of play in the long term. It all starts on August 21st & 22nd with the Bundesliga. As befits the Bundesliga 2 this year, it always plays on the Saturday before the Bundesliga 1, which is then allowed to play on the Sunday. Those responsible for the league want the highest divisions to play first, because it gives the teams in the lower divisions the opportunity to learn from the professionals in the Bundesliga and, if necessary, to learn moves. A little tip from us, it's best to learn something like this directly on site in the field, not on the screen. At this point we wish you a lot of fun watching. The DPL has also published a corresponding timeline on its website, which shows the entire course of the season. Here you can see who is playing where and when.
So much for the current news about the DPL, which was available today, shortly before the start of the season. The latest information about the league, the individual game days and the participating teams can of course also be found on the official DPL website on the internet. Or simply scan the QR code.
At this point we wish all players and teams a successful season and above all an uninterrupted season with lots of fun in the sport. Give it your all, may the best team win!
