Millennium Series - Official Rulebook

[Tugais]

Hey !

Is the 2006 version the latest Rulebook provided by the Millennium Board ? I'm looking desperatly for the newest version with SPL rules but I can't find it.

The Millennium Series website doesn't have the SPL/CPL rules, anyone can send me the document please ?

Thank you,

Cheers

The one and only one available for now is linked here.

How the SPL and CPL teams do when a problem occurs ? I believe that they use a document to apply a request ...

Nobody else ?

The rules are a mess. My guess is that Millennium hasn't been clearly enough to the refs because they make up rules from tournament to tournament.
As a simple example. The rules you linked to says max 15bps from a marker. The rules also say that 15bps is defined as no more than 65milliseconds between two balls. Well, 65milliseconds is actually 15.4bps. So what do the refs do? No one knows until it's a couple of minutes to the game start.

What actuall are the rules. Every time we go to an event, the rules seem to change so the marshals can pull the 1-4-1's. The millennium wonders why they are loosing teams, it as got to have something to do with the 1-4-1 rule. Believe it or not, when speaking to some lower ranked teams, that would like to play the M5, why should they go the vast expense of entering a Millennium event when they can get knocked out by one of the more stupid 1-4-1 calls, he don't even know what he's been 1-4-1'ed for because the only english word the marshal knows is 'OUT'. I'm not saying get rid of the 1-4-1 because it is needed for blatant cheating. But a little bit of common sense would help, and yes, we do need the Millennium Series, the people that don't think we do are the people that don't particiapte. This is only my point of view.

I've brought this point up with Ulrich on more than one occasion. He has usually replied that the 65ms definition holds, but still many of the chrono refs have deemed 15.0bps as the limit. One even tried claiming to me that the handheld units are calibrated to display 15.0 when the actual ROF measured is 15.4!

It may only be a small detail, but the contradictions in the rulebook itself, and the inconsistent application of the rules by judges, are indicative of the mess that the whole rules system is in.
