48 is probably their local channel...figure out what 48 is local boy.
However if you look at the NPPL site it does say they will be replaying something the week of the Denver event, so watch out for it.

Channel 48 for me is SciFi.....I doubt paintball will be in the Olympics, but that would be sick! I mean...if Curling can be an Olympic sport...no reason Paintball can't be =)
