Not really sure if the above should be novices........some of them i played in the Nov section of last years Campaign Cup

Novice really should be for those in their first Millennium event, not those who are playing their firsat of the season! If that was the case then teams like K2 would be in the Nov section as it wil be their first this season!
I am greatful that you put the Skulls into this "BAG" as it were but if you look at the domestic league we play novice there and at the mo we are not doing any better than mid table (on a regular basis) We are improving but we still have holes in our game that we hope to fill but this is my first ever millenium and I know some people have played them before but this version of the team is playing there first campaign together. In answer to Sams point yes we could play Amb because we are not rookies but we are going to face tough competition in the novice division let alone moving up to Amb. If you look at the teams in the "domestic" league loads play in higher divisions than novice and do well. You have both Apoc teams in novice which is a suprise.

Maybe there needs to be an extra league or division in there to spread the load and give more deffinition. Rookie, Novice, Am b, Am A, Pro.

And I think that any millenium in a certain country needs to take into account the local divisions or leagues so that this does not happen again,

I look forward to playing better teams and learning more for my game but to play 2 divisions higher than we would normally is a bit of a hold on moment.

Exactly - you got, what 160 teams at Campaign right? Then I think there should be 160 categories, listed Pro-1 to Pro-160...that way everyone is a winner and everyone is Pro and it's all lovely an' touchy-feely.

What satisfaction.....

I saw Method win novice in Portugal and they whooped it up big style after their victory. With at least 3 players in that team who had played pro, I could not understand why they celebrated so much. For goodness sake guys, play at your true level, and let those at true novice level develop and have a chance to win among real peers.

Sandbagging does no-one any good.

Doug,

Just to clear things up. We had 2 pro's in our team for that event. One of which started the team the other who played with Imperial on and off. Now as for the other members of the team, none of us had played pro or even AM A. The team was playing its first Millennium and its first tournament with that line-up. After winning Portugal we went straight up to AM B and played Toulouse as AM B. The team has not even been playing for a year
Now surely that is acceptable is it not???

Nope. 2 pros in the novice division is ridiculous! Do you not see a problem with that?

Not when 1 of them as not played 'Pro' pretty much for a year and the other plays for Imperial every now and then?

Also with the rest of the team being novice and not having played together before??

Tom Tom,

Behave yourself mate. We are a Novice team no two ways about it.

We are playing our last ever Nov tournament as per Millenium rules (we have played one before). Yep we have opened up a can of whoop ass on some of the teams in the m25, but our consistency sucks ass mate. Look what happened at the last m25. Owned by everybody except Zone:D

To be honest me and the guys could'nt give a poo who play against they all get the same game win or loose. We ain't intimidated as all teams have bad days and games, look at Dynasty.

Last bad tounament, nope, but they do drop the odd game here and there. Fo shizzle they be the bestest team about at the Mo, but they have a habit of dropping the first game in finals but then coming "back at ya!".

My point was no-ones unbeatable, and with mixed ability games, its as much how you play against your Am B's and Am A's anyway.

Whats next a note from people mommies saying:

"Please excuse little johnny from any bunkering's he has a slight ear infection".
