Do you mean that Oslo and/or London may not take place? I was really hoping to go to Campaign this year... :confused:

Hi Jorge,

I was talking about the USA teams and their NPPL ranking. Next year to play in the NPPL Pro division, teams will have to rank in the top 17 this year.

From NPPL
"Entry into the NPPL Super 7 Pro Division for 2005 will be limited and will be based on the following criteria :-

1 There will be only 18 Teams in the NPPL Super 7 Pro Division for 2005.

2 The top 17 teams from the NPPL Super 7 Pro Division 2004, based on their Series Points at the end of the 2004 Season, will be eligible to play in the NPPL Super 7 Pro Division for the 2005 season.

3 The Division I Champions, based on their Series Points at the end of the 2004 Season will be eligible to play in the NPPL Super 7 Pro Division for the 2005 Season.

4 Any team who wishes to move up from Division 1 to the NPPL Super 7 Pro Division for 2004 may do so at any time. Please see section 5.03 from the NPPL Rule book below for percentage of points allowed to be counted.

5.03 Any team that elects to change its status from Division I to Pro, from Division II to Division I or from Division III to Division II will keep a percentage of their points based on which tournament of the year that they move up.
After the first tournament: 80%
After the second tournament: 60%
After the third tournament: 40%


5 The Teams that do not qualify in the top 18 in the NPPL Super 7 Pro Division, based on their Series Points at the end of the 2004 Season will automatically be relegated to the NPPL Super 7 Division 1 for the 2005 Season.

6 At the end of the 2005 Season a number of Teams yet to be decided from the bottom of the Pro Division will be relegated to Division 1 with a number of Teams being promoted up from Division 1 to the Pro Division.

7 The NPPL Super 7 League plans to introduce the above structure into the NPPL Divisions 1,2 and 3 under the same criteria at a future date. "

What I was stating was that teams that want to enter NPPL Pro 2005 can only score points in Iberian Cup, Malaga and in the 2 NPPL events that are still to be confirmed.
One NPPL Event will probably be in Houston 17-19 September (apparently 4 days after Campaign Cup) and the other is still to be scheduled.

In no way did I want to suggest that the Millennium Events weren't confirmed. Despite lot of biased "opinions" that roam the forums that's not my way of working.

I already explained the efforts that we are doing to make conditions comfortable to the players. We will have Air-conditioned areas, private team boxes and even a swimming pool.
I think that the only time we will have problems with the heat will be at the players party here most will have a hard time copping with the Spanish girls ;) , just check the place at www.ananda.es

Campaign, and Norway do not count for NPPL points, as they are running EXL. Any event that runs EXL isn't NPPL sanctioned...

Malaga and Madrid do count, so i expect some Yank teams to consider getting some 'easy' points in Madrid. We expect a lot of NPPL teams at Malaga beach, as it's near the end of the season, and there will be quite a few teams scrambling for points to avoid Relegation.

Campaign and Norway both contribute to Millennium points for Div1 and lower, but points from either of these events don't count towards the NPPL.

Hope this clears things up.

The Iberian Cup already as several registered teams (about 50) and we expect to have a lot more confirmations in the upcomming weeks.

We will update the site with the names tomorrow.

As I mentioned this is a provisory team list with many teams that are being contacted by our office in Spain. Many will probably not confirm and many more will be added in the upcoming days.

:rolleyes:

We get a 78-long (81 counting Malera, UK Jags and Escaramouche) team list that is supposedly based upon your 50 registered teams, but then it's just "provisory". I don't get it. Why didn't you publish just the 50 teams that are already registered? Where did the other 30 come from? invention? rumor? list-o-matic (tm)?

I would like to think that the Millennium Series organization is more clever than to put themselves in a situation when someone could tell them they are committing fraud. Let's see the allegedly 8 teams that are supposedly playing pro. They expect to make between 180 and 5 points (180, 155, 130, 105, 80, 55, 30 and 5, to be exact). In case Tonton fills just one team (as they did in Germany), Joy doesn't go (if I'm not mistaken they hadn't played any Premiere League event this year) and Avalanche does not show up as Sam seems to be sure about, there would be just 5 teams, and the points awarded would be different: 165, 125, 85, 45, 5. If my team was to make one trip to Europe and I had to decide what event would I go that difference in points could be decissive. Stating publicly (and I suspect that with an ill intent) bogus information could cost my team 15 series points, or 30 if my team is not Dynasty.

Facts are that there is no real registered teams list, that someone is trying to mislead teams by using team names without their owners permission and that the Millennium Series is in fact cheating or trying to cheat on its customers. Who is to blame here? The Millennium Series? The Iberian Cup Promoters? The Pink Panther? Piper?



PS: I copied the team list as you published it last Friday to my blog, so that any team that registers before you publicly apologize for this deception intent and change the list to something more close to reality has some kind of proof to ask for a refund when they get to Madrid and find out that the 78 teams have magically been converted into 50 (if there is some truth in your words) or 8 (if the insisting rumor in Toulouse is right).

OMG !!!

An un-identified user just created a Blog exposing the biggest paintball scheme ever...(dhuuu! you really must have too much free time m8 ;))
Even the mighty Robbo as come out to share is outstanding sense of humour.
I think we should be proud of such attentions.

It’s a pity that some players don’t understand that trashing events to please a sponsor is always a bad tactic because you never know who will help you in the next season.

Just make an effort and try to use the forums for what they should be used, sharing information and promoting paintball.

Best Regards,
João Amaral

PS- Regarding the Dutch Events, its a new team from the paintball company with the same name. www.evenementen.net/

Duder, just my 2c but...

1. Robo made a joke - if that offended you or y'all think that somehow slammed your event then really, you need to get out more.

2. He may be a new user but he's raised some reasonable points, which is well within tha remit of this forum. Why doncha just deal with his questions and set him straight?
