Sounds like mills from 2003
There is a very similar theme running isn't there, to be honest after 15 years I had hoped things would have improved and customers and staff/refs would be given timely information.
As for refs (as some people maybe aware that is my focus) no concrete info, at the moment debating whether it is worth using the majority of my holiday from work to ref for an organisation that seems so disorganised.

This chaotic situation ,seems to point to a straight takeover and not a merger as stated.The merger approach could have kept a degree of continuity .Giving players ,refs,and suppliers the chance to "grow into " the NXL mode.People can adapt to something new,even if not popular at it's outset ie M500 .Provided a good amount of flagging up in advance and the chance to digest the changes. The idea everyone wants a US invasion of European paintball is fundamentally flawed. So while all teams come and go ,this buyout and unplanned change may well be the chosen point of more teams to drop out ,at this point than usual .When you also factor in the strength of the domestic championships and their attractive "bang for your bucks " people don't have to choose between Euro involvement or oblivion. So a 30% increase seems a strange opening pitch ,when they are not offering anything 30% better.

Just wondering if the mills had said f you and continued, with the NXL running their separate league, would the mills be going strong?
Were that the case I wonder how many teams would have given MS the finger at the end of the season and jumped ship as NXL is obviously so much better and would have regretted it with the uncertainty and vaunted 30% increase in entry fees.

I say bring back Angel and the Heaven VIP lounges ;)
