That's great, except the matches are best-of-9.

Oh great another price hike for all the 7 man teams getting even less value for money how many more times in consecutive years are the Mills gonna put up entry fees

how many more times in consecutive years are the Mills gonna put up entry fees

As many as it takes for viable competition to enter the stage (if ever)

only thing i disagree with is the m facing the crowd...the fun of x ball is the X blocking most of the shots that u get on your opponent from the start. the problem is that the m is twice the size of an X, maybe they should get a big A, since they probably wont get the actual X

the two minute turnarounds are not too bad if youre well prepared

I wonder which divisions in the prelims div1 teams are going to play with? last year div 1 teams played a lot with pros (at least three prelims if i am not mistaken). is it going to be div 2 and 3 this year or div1 only.

The field layout with the M facing the crowd worked the best in testing apparently. It blocked the lanes up the centre and allowed the games to be very aggressive up the tapes due to blocking cross field shots. At the end of the day if the bunker itself is too big, they can make a slightly smaller one.

I guess we will have to wait and see.

I dissagree the big M (facing the crowd) at campaign prevented aggression in my opinion cus most teams (especially Vision) went to the M and locked down the snake side for most of the game, i saw alot of the games go to time including ours, and XSV vs Arsenal went to time plus plenty of more teams

youre right!
but as said above we probably have to wait and see

They should just put it on the far tapeline, like in Paris and Germany, where it worked out beautifully.

I think it is a terrible idea to have a bunker that blocks out 1/4 of the field for the spectators, by placing it centrefield.
