erm, nobody ever lost money at that one mate, you had to buy your paint there, and it wasn't cheap. That event made a mint. If people were still prepared to pay those prices I could give you an event people would be talking about for years.The premier event in the UK before the Millennium appeared was the Mayhem Masters, EVERYONE went to it, reffing was the best, the UK teams kicked ass, the organisers either made a loss or broke even.
What we have now is a business which puts on big events at good locations which make money.
Paintball is constantly trying to evolve, so maybe the Millennium has some surprises in for us in '09.
Get me 90 teams who will actually pay an entry fee and travel to an event once per year in the UK, staying in a hotel for 2-3 nights, and buying from a selection of paint from the organiser of the event for 5 quid a box more than you usually pay, and I'll show you a UK event that will make your eyes water. If you can't show me that, then enjoy the Farmer-Giles BYOP league or whatever crap you're playing right now.
