The X-Ball fields for the Millennium series are setup exactly like they are shown on the website. They usually publish the field design a few weeks before the tournament from what I've seen. As far as I know, they use the designs from the earlier NPPL fields.

The inflatable boundary is around the EXL field, the Open X-Ball field is usually marked out with tape or whitewash markings on the ground. The chain boundary shown in the diagrams is supposed to be the netting I think.

so there are the 20 ft tall telegraph-poles for the netting and the inflatable boundary on the playingground !? in the rulebook they are talkin about an extra-netting infront of the coach-box - do they really set it up?

If you've been to a millennium event before they are using those removable poles to suspend the netting from. The inflatable boundary is just around the EXL X-Ball field, no others. The netting is then set 1-2 meters back from the boundary, just like normal fields.

There is netting put up infront of the coaching boxes, they use a section of fencing for that. Its only about 3 meters wide and about 1.80 meters tall

ok so far - what about the 2 player-areas do they set it up like it's shown in the rulebook?

 

[Shuck]

No idea about the rulebook to be honest, I just turn up and do my thang!

There are two staging areas on the side where the scoreboard is, one on either side of the scoreboard. Thats where the air is as well. Teams do not change staging areas at half time, just the ends they play from.

Any more questions?

not at his moment - just want to know everthing if i set up an XBall-Field

p.s: do you know if SupAir delivers the XBall-Fields with this boundary?

 

[Shuck]

I have no idea but the best place to check would be adrenaline games, the maker of sup'air.

The best thing to do would be to come along to Campaign next month and see the setup there Come on, you know you wanna!

sure m8 - i really want to - but i'm a bit short in mo, so i'll have to stay at home watch the net and play a tourney near me instead of campaign - live sucks, sometimes
