In the frame of uniting formats and all that...

you said you have the last 2 years feild designs? Im over the moon with that... for obvious reasons... But why not use the new skool xball fields? i.e. Bigger X, Mini X's and the big pins?... you'll still last years field plans to go off...

Surely it would be better for teams competing in the Millennium to use their fields?

Surely you'd be better off with the millennium system and their CPL field layouts :confused:

manchester,
PSP is higher standard and i have heard so many CPL players say that PSP is far better:bigger fields can get into it more like more moving around etc.

yeah I can see that PSP would be a better format but it would be less useful in the scheme of things...

i.e Having a unified playing format to help SPL teams


edit: and what about over the top of X's the shorter of us will be dis advantaged there!

Let me make this clear guys, the format change will only happen with the support of the league managers, but it does seem to have a lot of support.
We have not yet decided what we are going to do with the size of the league, I don’t think we need to increase the number of teams playing but this format will appeal to most of the players out there so I expect teams who gain a place will not struggle in getting players.
We did indeed run two events with the air at 3000psi and no problems were apparent, we do supply fill stations at both ends of the field and if we do go ahead with this league it will be just like transposing a PSP field to the UK, with separate staging areas for the teams with there own duel fill air stations, hell even the refs who will be doing it have done the finals at the world cup and are possibly the most respected refs in the States along with the NXL guys.
I understand the argument in respect of the CPL v PSP I am not anti CPL at all but to be honest we need to go PSP at this point because of the similarity of the rulebooks, and it’s Xball we need to play not a watered down version that just benefits the guys who count the money.

manchester,
as al said new school x-ball would be better, small x's the new style x, big pins etc. or buying a whole PSP field, bit pricy ino but it would be worth it!

just a thought;)
