2. 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.
3. 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.
