Millennium Series 5th leg to be held......

My advice: It's a holiday location. Visit a travel agent or an airline website and I bet you can get a very, very good deal on a package that includes airfare, hotel and possibly car. I know in the US you save tons of money that way (to the point that the package vacation can actually cost less than the airfare separately)

Exactly my point.

Depends on whether you're thinking short or long term.

In the series I happen to run, I can develop regions simply by putting the national champs there for a year or two. So if you assume people already have to travel, you develop more teams long-term by having events in underdeveloped areas.

I was amused by the complaint of a 4.5 hour flight. Didn't realize Europe was so tiny. (4.5 hours is east coast to west coast in the US.)

Not really a complaint if you care to read it right, that's direct which is about £1200 and the ones that are cheaper are about 16 hours.

Right, because no paintball league has EVER waited until mid-season to confirm the location of their final event.

I think you are giving way too much credit by insinuating that the league had the foresight, skill, and ability to execute such a plan.

yeah but not a lot of teams will have that much vacation time owed to them from work because its the last event and most players teams would have used there holidays by then,.

I just had a look at some travel agents here, I can get 8 days in a hotel, plus flights for €249,-. (that's Euros, not Pounds)

Hmm, maybe I'll go over just to have a look.

This is the venue.

Look at the website and gallery especially look at the sport links.


As declared before, all the fields will be inside the hotel area. So this mean there is no extra spending for taxi bus or rental car.

Your hotel, fields, dealer area, sea and swimming pools are within walking distance of each other..

You don´t get much out of emailing the hotel to get prices - they just tell you to check out millennium-series.com... So just wondering when we will actually see some prices/deals for this ?

So,

Anyone can tell me what's the deal with the turkish event being named after a major turkish firearms manufacturer?

The answer can be found on Baca's blog.

Awesome and very informative post by Baca, as usual...

And what's your take on all this?

 

[Baca Loco]

It gets better, or worse, depending on your point of view. Take a look at today's post from a Turkish paintball player. (Siggie is the link.)

And you can load up with shonky watches, clothes, DVD's and CD's.
