M25-league

[wildflower1975]

Is it still happening?
Does it have a website?
Does it share locations like the SWPL or in one spot like Dartford 7's?
Is it just another name for Dartford 7's?

(I made the subject M25-league so it could be found when searching with a 3 letter limit, but then people have got to think of M25- for a search term

thanks

I think someone, Jiggy, should restart the tourney becuase it was bloody good anyway and lets be honest him and Liz basically ran it and kept it alive anyway. I think restarting it would be a great idea as it gave teams the kind of practise (as in good oposition) they needed before main events, such as the millennium series.
Go get 'em Jiggy and Liz, and if you need any help (and are crazy) you know where to find me.

What's wrong with a purpose-built site just off the M25, a-la-Dartford 7s?

Well i have no objection to that, but my point was all the best (well a few didnt but not many) british and a few foreign teams went to the M25, it had in my opinion by far the greatest compertition of any non-mainstream tournament and I think if it were re-set up, whether it stay in one place or not, it would greatly improve our playing. I believe the best way to become the best is to play the best, because it encourages you to play faster, tighter, harder and more aware and if say a novice team plays pro teams everyday i reckon in less than a year they could easily compete with the big boys and be just as good as them. This is just my theory tho so probably wont work in practice but...i dont really care

I never played the M25s as it was just before I started tournaments, but would teams travel from all over the country to play them, or was it more a southern thing? Or did it work that there were inter-divisional games? I think at the D7s Tigers, Shockwave and Nexus have all played (under different names due to the EXL) but the only people playing them would be in Div 1 already.

Not having a go, as I'm genuinely interested, but in what ways did the M25s differ to the D7s?

 

[Liz]

The main difference between the M25s and the Dartford 7s is that the M25 used to travel about, using non-paintball venues set up specially for the weekend. Unfortunately, this proved to be stupidly expensive and the series lost a fortune over the one season it ran for - I gather it cost on average about twice as much to put on as the revenue from entries!

Otherwise there wasn't much difference. Both had/have differing numbers of divisions according to how many teams entered, both had/have ranked divisions so people played teams of approximately the same standard, both hadhave mostly southern teams playing.

Hi How

Think you should get it right and acknowledge the fact that it was Sparklie that got the series up and running, she funded it, she got the venues (which were fantastic, not your usual muddy holes that paintball is found in) and it was her hard work and passion that helped a lot of teams and players (yourself included) with training facilities.

Yes Liz and jiggy did help a lot and it wouldn't have been possible to run the series without the help and support of more people than i can remember the names of

Anyway rant over. Hope you're ok down south, may have to make the trek down there to see you all.
