My point was that the brief English synopsis was exactly that, and the webcast was promoted by a Millennium news item - in English and on their website - the first for nearly a month, inviting questions for the webcast!



I have to admit my French is rather schoolboy, and even then it was far from my best subject. I can just about get the gist of a conversation, but translating it would be another venture. Hat off it you do.

Quick Translation (sorry for my bad english):


Subjects of Discussion:
- Millenium Date and places
- 2010 Rules
- Teams
-Trade Show / Sponsorship

Antalya has been keep for 2010, and L. Hamet told us new spot may replace/be added in 2011. 2011 will see the come back of old spots used before for millenium events.

3 spot are in competition for the iberian region, two in South Portugal, and Barcelona. Famous spot as Netherland and Toulouse may be back.

About 2010 Rules, L. Hamet said as he isn’t « Mr Rules », he couldn’t give a full answer for some questions.

.50 Calibre will be authorised (Translation note : GIMilsim is a Platinium Sponsor of the Millenium) with the exact same rules than .68 (300fps, …).

US Pro Players will still be allowed as before in low division, no limitation in opposite at the PSP (Translation Note: French teams ask to sort this every year (they would like a psp style rules for players).

Teams should be contacted next week to answer some question (about rules, spots, …..)

And to choose if they want the fees to be cheaper (between 13 and 20%) and avoid having cash price, or stay as it was (note : CPL will stay as it is)

2010 may see the apparation of a Div4, which would be the old M5, and creating a Div3 with rules tested in Paris Cup (race to 2).

During 2010, CPL , SPL and Div1 team will need to shot Sponsor Branded guns only. It may be extended to all teams in 2011

In 2011, the PSP and the Millenium should have the exact same rof rules, to become more and more a united sport.

What a ridiculous rule, so they're now trying to blackmail manufacturers into sponsoring their series?

Someone should start selling PE stickers to affix to other marques.

Thought this might help as well. Here's a summary I received of the Hamet presser.
________________________________________

Millennium Series new spots

  • An event will be held in Turkey for the second year in a row. Probably one of the best venue ever according L. Hamet (2010)
  • Spain could host a second event in Barcelona - still in study (2011)
  • Portugal could host as well an event - 3 locations are currently under investigation : one in Estoril, near Lisbon (sort of Huntington Beach in Portugal) and two others unknown locations in South of Portugal (2011)
  • Holland seem to be back for the 2011 season.
  • Toulouse is an option too for 2011.
2011 could be the revival year with all these venues. The very first locations for the European Circuit at his beginning.


Millennium Series Rulebook

  • .50 cal will be shot at 300fps max.
  • No limitations about US Pro players guesting for open divisions teams.
  • No change at all in the rulebook in 2010.
Millennium Series & teams

  • A survey will be sent next week to the locked teams - don't know exactly what type of survey it will be.
  • A meeting is planned with team owners at Amsterdam in January 2010. During this meeting two main topics will be discussed : entry fees and prize money. The teams will have to choose between lower entry fees or money prizes. If a lower entry fee is choosed prior the cas price, teams could save 13 to 20% on a year - One event "free" ?
  • A Division 4 could be created next season playing semi5. The Division 3 would play Race 2.
  • Locked teams missing on the Turkey event will be punished. The MS Board still doesn't know exactly how.

Millennium Series & the industry

  • The guns allowed on fields will depend on sponsorship for the CPL and SPL fields during 2010 seaon. The 2011 season could extend this for all the divisions.
  • Major brands are setting up a way to control the board and gun modes on fields by the Reffs. New equipment on their way for the 2011 season.
  • PSP & Millennium Series will use the same firing mode from 2011.
