Series 2006
- Thread starter Bully
- Start date
The problem this year would seem to be TO MUCH choice for tournaments.
We have about half a dozen difference series to check out plus the majors.
PA League
NSPL
Masters
Series 2K6
Pro-Tour
Dartford 7's
SE village
Plus of course Millenium and NPPL / NXL if you are a pro team.
Its getting very very crowded for the players re events and many of these events will see lower turn-outs because of it.

I wouldn't count the pro tour, thats a different kettle of fish, you HAVE to turn up for that if you are in it.
I say support Bullys 7man Semi auto in the north if you are above or on the Nottingham area.
But please Bully, get rid of Elsham off your sites list, it's just doesn't cut the mustard.

As JCS Leisure / Atmosphere sponsor Series 2006 and also independently sponsor the events at Elsham, kindly explain why it should be.Originally posted by rentonc

And as Elsham is the most northerly recognised venue capable of holding a large event
well, I don't care who sponsors it, it's not my problem as a independant player, all I know is that most times I've played there it's been a bit of a nightmare. I would say in summer it's ok, but as soon as we get a bit of rain that place is pants.
Couple of points
We did speak to each other, when we had a meeting last year that all event organisers were invited to. The outcome was another 7 man series which was originally to be organised near Milton Keynes but due to circumstances beyond their control had to be moved to a site close to J20. I had decided to concentrate the 7 man event at two venues as both site owners had made a commitment to supply the fields etc....... As the Masters were using Uttoxetter regularly I decided not to use the site to prevent the venue being over played and the fields/safe area suffering from excess tournies.
I also reduced the number of 7 man events in SK6 from 8 to 6 tournies and the PA reduced their team entry both to work hand in hand to give teams choice and encourage a stable team base at each event, but then the Master proposed their event. This meant that 7 man events increased in number and this"waters down" the number of teams.
On the prize front - NO UK event last year gave more away to teams in prizes and we would continue our prize policy in 2006. (188,000 paintball - free entry to Campaign - £4000 in products in 2005)
As far as Elsham - we all forget the days when it was hot and only remember the wet days (they were wet - I agree) but I would recon over the last 10 years there have been more dry events than wet !!
Hope this answers a few points

I've got to say the first ever tourney I played was at Elsham and I burnt my neck to buggery cos the weather was that hot.
It's both extremes at Elsham isn't it

Just a thought:
What will happen if the SK6 stops their 7 man events will the UK
Masters be able to cope with the teams. They must already have several teams booked in plus I am sure the teams who want to play the SK6 will be looking for another place to play can they cope??
