Okay here's something for you guys to mull over whilst you can't be bothered to do the work that you're getting paid for 
When you go to your regular tournament in the Uk, and watch the games going on all day, how many of the players do you actually know, when they're on field doing their thing? Probably not many.
Alternatively, how many times do you watch a game where a guy does a crazy run though takes out three or four guys (to your amazement) and all you wanna do is shake his or her hand after the game and congratulate them, but don't do so because you don't have a clue of who they are and don't wanna look like a prick 'cos you don't know their name. Probably quite often!
We're in the fortunate situation that we've got a lot of very promising UK teams such as Twisted, Kellys, Nitro, Infiltrators and Inferno to name a few, but they rarely get the recognition for the stuff that they're doing week in week out at numerous events throughout the UK.
In Vegas we experienced pure crowd participation and excitment because two pimp players Matty Marshall (LA Ironmen) and Will Arroyo (New York Xtreme), were whipping that crowd into a frenzy every game, giving props to those who played with heart and shone on the NPPL field.
What would you think if at the next Series 2003 or M25 league event you had 50-100 cheering your team on, or giving a standing ovation for the killer move you just made or the way your last back guy shot out the final four players on the opposing team?
You like the sound of that??? Maybe i'm just dreaming here, but i don't think it would take that much time and effort to make it happen, and make the whole UK scene a lot more interesting.
