It’s that time of the year once again. For the 17th time the Canadian National Speedball Championships will be held, this year once again in Calgary, Alberta! The location will host the event for the 11th time in the past 12 years. New for 2010 is a different event layout, resulting in a larger playing surface, more spectator bleachers, better VIP staging, and as always, the BIGGEST Trade Show of the SEASON!!

The trade show at the Nationals has been legendary for years. This is the best place and the best time to get the lowest prices on all your gear for the 2010 season. Last year all of the major manufactures were represented, including KEE, Eclipse, DYE, JT, Smart Parts, NXE, and so many more.
Full service tech booths, onsite printing of on-filed photos
MR Events has once again partnered with The BCPPL, the only league brings the games home LIVE to family and friends........all for free of course. We are happy once again to offer the chance for fans from anywhere in the world a chance to watch and participate in the event. Full color commentaries from professional players give a great insight to the games, along with great quality full motion video and graphics. The BCPPL has pioneered webcasting in the industry, we are very lucky to have them on board.
This year’s webcast of Nationals will include a few new hi-tech additions to our already awesome webcast! These additions have been perfected at the BCPPL events, all year long.

All entry fees are due in full at the time of registration, or your entry will be considered null and void.
The Nationals has a limited number of spaces available. Registration will be on a first come first serve basis. All teams are welcome to register at anytime. If the event is full before you submit your registration, and/or the event is sold out, your team will not be entered. We will use a waiting list system in case a team backs out. This event will most likely sell out very quickly. Please do not wait till the last minute. We turned away a few teams last year. Once we hit our total team limit, we cannot add teams
All players must have a 2010 BCPPL/CPPL player ID card to play....go to www.CPPL.ca starting January 1st to order your card and SAVE $20. The online system will be open from JAN 1st – JAN 20th. Players that miss the online deadline must stand in line and get their card before the tournament starts. Cost for waiting until the last minute is the regular price of $40.
Remember fees are due in full at time of registration! If you have a certificate from the BCPPL or IPL series, you still must provide a $250 deposit. Teams with winning certificates must register online with deposit by JAN 1st, or your certificate will be null and void.
Please read instructions on event registration link.
