Hey Nick,

Bobby B is an actuall poster, and you'll never guess what his name is!? - Thats right man. Bobby Brown! - At least thats his nickname! ;)

The guy is entitled to his opinion, he's even allowed to add a little bit of spice to the debate if he wants to. :eek:


Peace out m8.

Nick, u think they just used WPS to get me in ????
U r kiddin me right?????

Now, Gaff, let's not fcuk about here, u don't deserve to be in..period, stop ya moaning and whining, u shoulda got yer ass in gear last year and actually dun something and then you would be up there.
You are too late..not anybody’s' fault but ure own...end of......

If we are to put an Xball league together that comprises the best teams then I would go along with Magnus's first post.
I honestly think he has hit the nail right on the head with that lot.
From what I know, the Millennium, rightly or wrongly, had to reference one ranking system or another.
After all, if they just selected who they thought were the best reps of European Paintball ignoring all ranking systems, they would have been accused of this, that and whatever by the teams left out.
By using the World ranking points system, they were able to defer some responsibility to that.
They could have used European rankings but what's the point if you are trying to put together a league of the best in Europe and some Euro teams are playing Stateside.

Now, alternatively, we can construct a league where perhaps the best of Europe doesn't have to be represented in which case, I am sure Storm and many others would easily qualify but what the hells the point in that.
Let's put Crewe Alexander, Hull and Rotherham in the Premier and showcase that as Brit Football...we'd be a laughing stock..and rightly so.

Magued, Sergey and myself all wanted to play in a serious league that would help Euro Paintball flourish along similar lines to that of the Americans because whether we like it or not, International Paintball is unfolding along very American lines and if us Euros wanna be up there with them, some sacrifices and difficult decisions have to be made.
If Sergey, Magued, myself and also Laurent, didn't think the league was set up properly, we wouldn’t even consider playing in it.
Some small minded people may think that's good, but hey, I really don't give a sh!t.

I'm not saying you shouldn't be in - but rather saying that WPS was used BECAUSE you should be in !

I wrote it because expected "SOME" people to say you didn't deserve it, because you chose the NPPL over the MS last year.

Nick they used the WPS, for two reasons as I see it :-

Firstly, it created a convenient reference point for teams to be selected and secondly it would also go some way (but not all) in upholding the ethos of having the best teams play in the EXL.
As for Nexus playing in the US, yes we did choose to go over there but let's not forget we still played Toulouse and Campaign.
And I think the reasons for going Stateside have already been well documented.

With all teams playing different formats it does make sense to use the only ranking system (WPS) that accomodates results from across the board. nexus didnt play the MS, but did well in the USA, so it makes sense to use their results from there to seed them.

I have to agree with Bobby B, although maybe i would have tried to say it more tactfully, ;) Without disrespecting anyone, saying that teams have been supporting the league and then are excluded only applies to hardcore (who i feel for).

Live with it or go play tiddlywinks !
bollocks!!!

you said more or less the very same thing, and so have others, but in that tone without the (hide behind) smileys is not a clever stance!:mad:

[edit] sorry forgot to finish the sentence: i dont mind honest opinions, and i will possibly agree! but get personal and i object! [edit]

if i were honest, i would agree that Hardcore deserve a place well in front of us, but i am not bitchin because of Storm, i am having an objective opinion just like you!:rolleyes:

That's an easy one.

Who do you think is paying the bill when 100% of entry fees go to prizes?
