The good thing about mainland European events is the expansion we can achieve. Manfred at MAX / CMC has been a key player in Promotion and expansion of paintball not only in Germany but also Eastern Europe for many years.
Peter knows only to well how the German market has exploded with few rental sites and the hard work promoters do should not be overlooked.
My thoughts are to keep these events especially when the run so smoothly and make more events in the middle of Europe. They are easy to get to and cheaper to attend than the Scandinavian events. Amsterdam was pointless as the total players base in the whole of the country was quadroupled when the event was attended. Lets use the events to promote to the public what a great sport we have - Marseille did a fantastic job of this and Paris should have the same success.
The F Stamp has been a great tool in the German Market, by default it has kept the purchase of markers inside the country and this has given rise to successfull companies far larger than the US manufacturers European representatives. In turn they have fed their markets and expanded them with the revenue made from the sale of product.
We should all make every effort to attend these events and perhaps speak to your sponsors to help you get equipment to and from them.
You can probably tell from this post that I'm for the expansion of European paintball, it is as you know my future and passion and has been so for many years.

The reason why there is a Millennium in Germany is very simple. It's so I got an excuse to go back home and see the folks!
Scandinavia really needs to have their own event so you mid-Europeans can feel the pain of travel costs scandinavian teams have every time they attend a MS tournamentsmartpartseurope said:
Amsterdam is 100x better than Bitburg, Madrid or Marseille as it's one of the easiest and cheapest places to travel to in central Europe. Bitburg is the worst of the lot because of the gun laws and distance to the major airports.
probably been asked a thousand times before, but if your flying to germany to you need to inform them whats in your luggage, i.e. marker?? or do you just ignore it and hope they dont notice?
