What does CPL mean in PAINTBALL

The Central Paintball League (CPL) is an organization dedicated to providing paintball players of all skill levels and ages with competitive tournaments, leagues, and events. It promotes the growth of paintball as a fun and exciting team-based sport by ensuring fair play, safety, and proper rules.

Anyone over the age of 8 may participate in any CPL tournament as long as they have their own equipment including a mask, marker, tank and hopper.

All players must adhere to the CPL's Code of Conduct during tournament play which outlines safety guidelines for everyone involved. In addition, tournament rules must be observed at all times such as game limits, maximum velocity limits on markers and other restrictions per division or class.

Yes! The CPL offers different divisions based on age such as Junior Division (ages 8-12), Youth Division (ages 13-17), Open Division (ages 18+), Ladies Division (female players 18+), Professional Division (invitation only) and Pro/Amateur Division (18+). Classes are available based on marker type like Pump Class and Stock Class for each division.
