FED CUP 2010 Official Info

[The Federation]

The Federation would like to announce the details of the 2010 Fed Cup (18th and 19th September 2010).

The purpose of the Fed Cup is to create a fantastic end of season event bringing the best talent from the North and South of the UK together to find out who are the UKs Champions.

This year the event will be held at the new Balls Out Promotions venue (home of the CPPS) in Rodbaston College. Rodbaston, Penkridge, Stafford ST19 5PH

This year the main events will be the X-Ball 'Race to 4' format (12 teams Max) and a 5 Man 'Race to 2' format. Saturday 18th September will be qualifying day; teams will be fighting both 5 Man 'Race to Two' and X Ball 'Race to 4' to qualify for the Sunday club finals on Sunday the 19th September. The teams that do not qualify will be able to register to play the FREE Fed Plate 5-Man (no race to) event on the Sunday… Yes!!!! FREE of charge.

Everyone at the Federation wants players to have value for money and also to get as much Paintball in as possible and thus this year, EVERY team will play both days. We have tried to keep the entrance fee as low as possible but to also deliver to the players an event that the Federation Cup and UK Championships deserve.

Entrance Fees.

The Series Winners of Each Division at the CPPS and NSPL will be granted a FREE entrance fee into this year’s Fed Cup. For everyone else the entrance fees will be as follows:

5 Man Race to 2 Format £325

Xball Race to 4 Format £350

DISCOUNTS… Any team that has played 4 CPPS or NSPL events (the two sanctioned Federation series) will receive a £50 discount off the above prices.​

Camping will be allowed on site from the Friday and will be FREE of Charge. Hotel info to follow.

Prize Fund. The prize fund this year is even bigger that last year’s fund!!!

The Federation Members have again clubbed together to give the players the Federation Cup which will crown the UK's Champions.

For each and every team booked into the event and with entrance fees paid The Federation Members will put 5 cases of Paintballs into the prize fund. Which means if 50 teams attend the total prize fund will be 1/2 million paintballs...500,000 Paintballs given away to the top 3 teams in Division 1 (M7/X-Ball), Div 2 (M5/Race2two) and The NEW Fed Plate (5-Man) (see below for % Split). As well as trophies to third place in each division there will be the Federation Cup M7 Champions Trophy and the M5 Trophy which will be engraved with the Winner of each year’s Federation Cup and be those teams to keep until they try and defend the Trophy the year after.

I would like to express a massive thanks to Ledz, Spike, Jim and Bully for sorting this all out. These guys have worked tirelessly to give the UK paintball fraternity a tournament to be proud of ... this is our first step toward recovery because if we can use this event as an inspirational focal point just as the Mayhem event was for all our teams years ago, then we got a fair ole chance for recovery.

It was that era that burst forth with the most successful array of pro teams we've ever had ...... I'd love to see that time replicated in some way whereby we have that many top end teams vying for the number one position.

The Predators reigned supreme then but I tell ya what, so many teams improved on the back of the Preds that at one stage, we weren't that far behind the Yanks ..... I'm afraid the same can't be said for the present period whereby we can't even establish one of our teams in the World's top ten pro teams.

This Fed Cup is gonna be the daddy of all this year's domestic events ... I just hope as many UK teams can make the effort and get their ass down to Rodbaston because it's gonna be one helluva weekend, I know that much.

I would also like to thank Rich Harriss and Mark Carter for tirelessly supporting the work the Federation are trying to do and taking the time off from organizing the Midland's and North's most successful league events series to help with this event.
They've already proved themselves to be the most succesful and professional promoters in the midlands/north and their assignemnt to the Fed Cup ensures the much-needed improvements in promotion and financial accountability over last year.

That's one big ass prize fund....

 

[Lovetone]

Good venue choice.
Good prize fund.
Frankly unheard of free sunday club - I think that has to be commended.

Lets hope this gets the subscription it deserves (and the Firm win the CPPS series )

 

[The Federation]

The Fed Cup already has a very impressive prize fund, but as promised here are some additional prizes that will be given away this year on 18th and 19th September.

The Millennium Series has pledged 2 FREE entrance fees to an event of the winner’s choice in 2011. There will be 1 x Div 3 Entrance and 1 x Div 2 Entrance fee paid for which is worth more than €2000! The Millennium series are as committed to driving tournament paintball forward in Europe as the Federation is and this is a great prize for any team looking at taking the next step forward. The two prize winning teams are to be selected by you guys. Each Fed Team will be asked to vote for their favourite 2 eligible teams and the two teams with the most votes will be awarded the prizes. (see below for T&C’s)

And it doesn’t finish there…..The CPPS and NSPL have also donated an entrance fee at one of their events next season (2011). Both the CPPS and NSPL event organisers will be awarding their ‘Most Improved Team of the Season’ award at the end of the event. This team will get to play a leg for FREE at the other affiliated series. This again is an amazing prize and reinforces the commitment that the NSPL and CPPS have towards each other in terms of cooperation and solidarity. (see below for T&C’s)

The Federation believes that the Fed Cup is the perfect end to what has already been a great season in UK Paintball. As more information and special Fed Cup events are confirm they will be posted on www.paintballfederation.co.uk web site and also on http://www.p8ntballer-forums.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?71-UK-PaintBall-Federation forum… Keep your eye’s open and book in quick..

Please Note…..that the Millennium prizes has been given by the Millennium Tournament Series Organisers. Bookings , questions or queries need to be taken up with them directly. This prize is NOT eligible to any contracted CPL, SPL or Div 1 Millennium Teams. It cannot be sold or traded on.

The Most improved Team awards from the CPPS and NSPL cannot be traded on or sold and bookings should be taken up directly with the CPPS or NSPL Directly.

FED Cup 2010

The Fed members truly want the Fed Cup to be something special. We want to create a place to where you can bring your team for the best Paintballing and your family for a fun weekend. The Fed members have been working hard at bringing you these enhancements and I can announce two of them now.

1. Laysick Gear and JCS Leisure will be sponsoring the FED CUP Human Table Football Competition which will be running over the FED Cup weekend…. (details to be announced)

The event is five players on-field (you can have as many subs as you need) and the entry fee is £5 per team with the proceeds going to Help the Heroes Charity. Register your team on the Saturday morning and have a team practice with the start of the division games in the afternoon/evening. Play will continue on the Sunday with the grand finale on Sunday afternoon. The winners will receive five boxes of paint courtesy of Laysick Gear and JCS Leisure. Maybe Pete “Roy of the Rovers” Robbo can be coaxed out of retirement to front the FED team?...


2. Bucking Bronco Bull Riding.

Also in an effort to create a more festival-like atmosphere at the event there will be a Rodeo Bull (when we were talking at the meeting about the inflatable bunkers I think someone wrote down Inflate – a – Bull )The Rodeo Bull will be in operation on Saturday evening so you will be able to ride, laugh or simply watch the sun go down while sipping a cool one at the bar!! The gauntlet has already been thrown down between, Pete “Rodeo” Robbo Robinson vs Simon “Gun Slinging” Cole (A little poll has been put on P8ntballer so you can vote for who you think will win). There will be some prizes awarded on the night for longest rider, most stylish etc.. So get your Stetsons out and get ready to ride!

More announcements coming soon…..
