MILLENNIUM SERIES 2005
PRESS RELEASE
Europeans are by nature innovators and whilst the 2004 season was not revolutionary, it laid the foundations for the future. The coming 2005 season promises to be the most exciting year that paintball has yet seen, with the development of a new 7-man professional format.
In a few short years, the Millennium Series has been instrumental in the presentation of our sport. Moving from the shade of the woods in to the public domain of stadiums and now towards the world spotlight of television and mass media. Progress of the teams participating is extensively covered in all major Paintball Magazines and Internet sites.
With ever increasing media coverage, more than 20 TV channels, over 50 newspapers and magazines, high profile locations, Crystal Palace Stadium, National Stadium Lisbon, Barran Stadium Toulouse and an increasing number of participating teams, the Millennium Series 2004 was the engine of our sport. Now is the time, like never before, to capitalize on what has been achieved so far and step up a level.
The Millennium Series 2005 will be even bigger, better
and will go further than ever before.
Be part of the future, welcome to the dawn of
the New Millennium Series 2005.
For 2005 there will be 5 spectacular high quality events. More investment than ever before is being made to ensure that we provide the best of everything including high level professional judging. The dates are confirmed as follows;

We will present a new Champions League and the start of a professional league system. At the end of 2005 the Champions league will be locked to the top 15 pro teams plus the top Division 1 team. At the end of 2006 Division 1 will be locked. Teams will then be relegated and promoted at the end of each season. At last we will have true rankings based on actual results.
Also will you receive much higher prize money. Overall prize funds are to be substantially increased with a much higher proportion going to Division 1 & 2 teams than ever before. We will re-introduce end of season prize money in Division 1 and 2 paying down to 8th place.
We’re developing a fully integrated and professional media awareness campaign. This will ensure that we maximize team profiles around the industry and wider media ensuring that success at Millennium events can be translated into sponsorship deals.
To top this we will have sanctioned 5 man events in order to ensure the development of the teams of tomorrow.
