Are the best teams of each categorie have to play in high category ?
The worst teams down ?
I have heard that at the beginning of the year, is it true ?

Sweden was cool, marshalling was great. congratulations to all teams.

I think that the top 4 or so in the Am A should move up to bolster the pro section. teams like Powertrip, Syndicate, Malera, Cyclone, Scalp and Hellwood should step up to Pro. The possibility of EXL will remove 6 of the top pro teams from the series, and this should be filled by the highest placed am A teams. There will be a few Am B teams that step up naturally, namely Wombles, new Russians, UK Jaguars and a few more. As for stepping down, i think the emphasis has to be on staying put or moving up, as the exodus of teams will only weaken top sections. And just because you have a bad season in Am A does not mean that you are automatically an AM B side talent and playing wise

As far as i know there are no rules about this.
It's left up to the teams, however certain teams will be persuaded to move up i think, by both the promoters and other teams.

but it s wrote in the rules ? i haven t seen it (it s not easy for me... in english....)
If Powertrip, hellwood, cyclone.... don't want to go up they can stay in AM A ?
Nothing states that anyone HAS to mave up, but i think that if EXL does take off, then the likes of Powertrip, Cyclone, Hellwood etc... will see the benefits of moving up to the PRO section to compete for the big bucks. There is no enforced promotion, but i hthink that the lure of playing with the big boys will be too much for some to resist!;)

i told hellwood and it seems they don't want to play pro next year
but i think they don't know EXL and as you say, it will certainly depend from EXL for some AM A teams (shockwave Am perhaps ? ;o)))

Fabian how about Doriane Golack stepping up?

Its only our first season as a team together, and while we have had a good season our season has not been as good as Powertrips, Scalps, Hellwoods, Syndicate, Malera, Cyclone. Pro is sonething that we are nowhere near ready for, but it will be interesting to see who does step up at the end of the year. Iwould imaine that with a bit nore sponsorship, the majority of the above teams should step up

I can only speak for Malera, but i don`t think you will get rid of us this easy;)

First off all our team was started in 2000, and that`s when the majority of the team started to play PB.
We attended 2 Milleniums in 01, resulting in 1. place in Danish millenium, novice.
Last year we stepped up to amateur, and that gave us to 4.place`s (Toulouse and Campaign) as the best.

This year has given us one more 4. place, and now in Joy we got 3. place, our best performance so far. Sunday club is good...

We still haven`t won a millenium event in amateur, and i feel we got to do that before we step up to top level.

But time will tell, we do practice for it!

As for the other teams (exept Powertrip), i think they all have won a millenium event in amateur. (Maybe even before we started to play!!)
