its the work of the millenium series, locking the divs which has stopped them playing over here.Do i have a problem with them playing hell no, if teams want to use them they can.

Why its not against the rules, they play the rules as much as the game if they can get away with it why not. Wouldnt you lot do it? How many times have you seen a local event with say local div 1 player playing with local div 4 team? See you already do it.

Before the PSP/NPPL split, Millenniums would see 5-6 yank teams make the trip over. Down in the lower divisions the big attaction of playing the Millennium would be the chance to play one of the top teams. When the PSP and NPPL went their separate ways, the American teams stopped coming over here, and that was European paintball's loss. Now the Millennium has made it so hard for teams to come over, even if they are able, without being forced to sandbag,

Why? As Andy says they've been with the team for years and are as much a part as the rest of the guys. Plus Mr U only plays for them so technically he's an ex US Pro
Exactly Mr.U plays for Bullets only so what is the problem??
As for Ollie, he is part of that team for ages and train with them too, so this example is completaly out of the line.

If all US player put as much effort to the teams who they play with in Europe our standard would increase. Bulltes are great example of cooperation with US and increasing the players and team ability.

I reckon that if they are going to play every event or 4 out of 5 then yeah they count as part of the team not ringers.

the other option might be to still keep everything locked but have a team that is made up of any Americans. Like the basketball team "Globe trotters" (best of the best). They could have a spot in the CPL where any of the Americans can come over and play together in the MS.
an official American scrap team if you will. hope that makes sense :)

We used to love playing against the yanks, whichever way you slice it it raises your game.

Ok, so it reduces your chance of winning, but, if you're a serious contender in your division then surely its more food for thought if anything else. I think its better to have a few of em scattered through a few teams than have a solid entry from a full squad that you know will kick your ass.

Hold them off, kill the others then attack them last.

Just like that.
