millenium prize fund

[benjman]

does anyone know the prize fund for the different divisions in the mills?

the psp and nppl websites both show what you win but i was wondering what europe has to offer?

That's easy - trophy to 4th. no cash prizes in any division. Not sure if there is still series money for CPL though. Basically you are playing for status and a move up next season.

Totally worth it.

thats a bit crap...especially when you compare it to the $10000 you get for winniing psp pro division

Totally worth it.

Money is for chumps. I play for glory.

its still a shedload to pay just for that but off the top of my head psp is considerably more expensive (like a lot) to enter for this reason?

I am pretty sure that dynasty would love to have that in their status and come back with an empty pocket like the ****ing rest of us.

its round-about $2800 for all divisions, so a lot more than what the mills cost, but then again, thats just for the lower leagues as far as i am aware, the mills dont gve prices for the locked divisions.

just seemed a bit odd that the american leagues offer large prizes but the mills dont.

You answered your own question really.

(Warning - generalities ahead!)

Americans like to win and reward winners.
Europeans like to win, but don't want to pay extra to reward the winners - especially since the Americans have a long history of coming over here and claiming "our" prize money.

The US leagues fund the prize money with increased entry fees. The Millennium gets moaned at already for increasing fees in line with inflation/VAT increases - if they increased them to the level of the PSP/NPPL, then there would be OUTCRY! At least on the forums, and maybe three players would quit. But then everyone would still play the Mill series because, if you're serious about your paintball, it's the only series worth playing (in Europe at least).

And yet, I know a team from Sweden that has given up on playing in the Millennium because it was too expensive and they play PSP twice per year and their national league.
