Open registration for the 2009 Alberta Woodsball League will begin this weekend. There have been changes throughout the website including
- Updated "about us page"
-the 2009 Calender posted
-Updated the scores and records
-2009 Division I page with teams being placed as rostered -Division II rules with teams being placed as rostered -Prizes have been updated with more updates to come throughout the winter/spring -Video page being added to be able to view AWL footage
-2008 Champions page to be updated with team info -Photo gallery receiving change of format -Alberta Woodsball League Forum coming before the end of the month.
Once the Forum is up the news page will no longer be used. News and other updates will be made available to the public through the forums.
There will only be 6 teams per Division this year. This is to allow teams to move into Division I from Division II. Invitations are being sent out to a number of teams that are capable of playing in Division I and representing Alberta at the 2009 Canadian Woodsball Championships. If your team did not receive an invitation to compete in Division I and you feel as though you got what it takes please contact me as soon as possible.
Teams will be officially rostered once League dues have been paid to enter that Division, with Team Slots being assigned as requested once registered. That means if you want team spot 3 playing schedule you better pay up before someone else who wants it does.
Teams that wish to register can contact me directly at:pres@albertawoodsball.org
I would like to thank those people who have already shown an interest in officiating the 2009 events. More names will be posted as Refs pass the AWL ref test. We are still accepting applications for spots on the 2009 Board of Directors and will announce the new board members on the Forums.

As noted on the Home page, Tactical Innovations will be the new Host Field for the Alberta Woodsball League. Tactical Innovations officially took over the old Clearwater Paintball Fields yesterday afternoon.
The guys at T.I. , Mike, Cam and Dave, are expanding. They offer everything from tactical paintball training seminars, designing and hosting specialty scenario events, to full operation of a paintball field. They will also showcase some of their ORIGINAL paintball products and designs at predetermined events.
Tactical Innovations Paintball Field will be offering new management, new games and new fields available to the public next year, as they spend the rest of this year redesigning and rebuilding the Paintball Field. They will be offering 120 acres of playing area, with around 80 acres of Woodsball Fields and 40 acres of speedball and specialty scenario courses when complete!
They have a few introductory events planned for the remainder of the 2008 season, such as "Operation Countdown to Chaos" Sept 13th, and other events to be announced on their website (Under Construction). They will also be taking bookings for rentals and special events, as well as hosting Tactical Paintball Training Seminars.
Contact information for Tactical Innovations can be found on our Sponsors Page.

As we approach the beginning of the League season I have a couple of last minute announcements to make:
First off I am pleased to announce that Tippmann Sports, the world's leader in high-performance paintball products, will be sponsoring the League this year. Expect more details this week here in the "News"
section as well as in the "Prizes" section.
We are happy to have Tippmann as a sponsor not only for their dedication to safety and quality, but also their commitment to helping make the sport more accessible and affordable to all.
Also, there will be a change in the game venue for League game days 4, 5, and 6. Team captains have already been informed, and the rules for the games will be available to the teams soon.
Good luck to all in the upcoming events
Happy Hunting
