Why advertise there main competition?

Think about it, these two tournys are trying to get the same teams (yeah ok under different names) to play as a 7man setup.

One has a mag the other doesn't, (ok MM SPC has PGI ;), but u get my point.....

Ohh and from what I remember the MM spc dates were released at the same time if not before the PA Cup since it was something to do with having tournys 2weeks after/before the europen ones..

Thinking on from what I said though, I still think its kinda low for them not to include the dates, since as a whole, a new player wanting to enter a team into there first tourny is of course gonna want to find the one closest, now for PBUK not to include all the venues (competition or not) is still a bad and kinda stupid move in my eyes even though they have the dates for all main UK tournments and with SPC/MM having such a huge fan base, its not gonna help there sales much if they leave out one of the big series of this year and instead just publish what they want the paintballing public to read...

Sorry guys but the PA dates where released at least a month b4 any of the MM dates and if you check post history you will find this to be true.
I'm not saying that there is not rivalry between the two because no matter what either party says it exists.
Also remember that the PGI dates are subject to change as it says in the post.
So give them the benefit of the doubt and think on you can still add the events manually onto the calender

Yup, monkey......... read back. The Millenium Dates were held back so as not to clash with the PA (nice of the Millenium Committee I thought) and as Dark Warrior said are still subject to change (the millenium and PA seem to be trying hard not to tread on anyones toes and make it as easy as possible to take part).
Might I suggest E-mailing the PA and asking them why they aren't featured? before flaming someone who lives within walking distance of your house?
Not a pop at you Welshy........ you were just asking :)
I'm pretty sure that both tournaments are out to further our sport....... not p!$$ on each others chips.

Mother, is that you?
Yep Jose must be right. They must have printed the calendar a couple or three months ago. They wouldn't purposely omit the pgi supported tourny cos their whole remit is to promote british paintball, and not just promote themselves. I mean, that would be like us deleting evrything to do with PA or perhaps even this thread itself. And you know what crit we'd come in for if we did that.

have been debating whether or not to say anything and have come to this conclusion. To say anything would be me speculating at their reasons. I have no need to make myself look unprofessional and so here is my comment.

All of our dates have been posted on the interent and will shortly be posted out to teams that have requested information from us. We (SPC) wish the PA league every success with their new league and hope that some day the entire british tourney scene is united in one league. To make the british scene truly a world class scene we must all come together.


cheers guys
