Ok folks, this is the full info on all formats etc for the season. This is the tweaked version from input from all of you guys throughout the comunity. Your input has been greatly recieved and i hope the final product is one that will stand the test of time.
This wil be a 6 leg series with all scores being counted towards final rankings. All legs to be held at the MTPC venue, Penkridge. (west midlands by the M6, J13). The current Millennium Series rule book will be used with any additional rules/changes declared on the day in the captains meetings. The planed day schedule will be M5PL Divisions 1-3 in the morning and the M7SL and 5 man div 4 in the afternoon.
Dates
Round 1 Feb 28th
Round 2 April 11th
Round 3 May 30th
Round 4 June 27th
Round 5 August 8th
Round 6 October 3rd
Formats
CPPS M7 Super League. Entry is £235 per round.
This is the Millennium SPL format, race to 4 points 5 man xball format. Each team will recieve 4 x 10 min matches at each leg.
Depending on number of teams entered will depend on the exact format.
Ideally planned to have a prelim round and a finals stage. Eg if 9 teams are entered then they will be pre seeded into 3 groups with the top 3 in the league as a seed in each group. Teams will play 2 prelim matches then be re grouped into a winners group (winner of each of the first 3 groups) and 2 consolation groups. That way all teams get 4 x matches and we also get an event winner on the day and a finishing place for each team.
CPPS M5 Premier League. Entry is £185 per round.
Standard 5 man format, 5 min time limit. Each team will recieve a minimum of 8 matches per round.
Teams will be seeded for rd 1 by the following. Top 8 CPPS M5PL teams will be pre seeded across the divisions from 2009 results, all other teams will be in a random draw for divisions. For rounds 2 and 3 the teams will be snake seeded from previous round results. The results from these 3 rounds will be compiled in an overall league table to establish a ranking. Eg top 9 teams Div 1, Next 9 Div 2 etc etc.
From round 4 onwards the teams will play within their respected rank to determine the overall positions within there respected division. At the end of the season 2 teams will be relegated from each division into the next division down for the 2011 season. The winner of each league will be promoted into the next division and the 2nd and 3rd placed teams will play off for the second promotion spot.
All teams are eligible for the first 3 rounds, only the top 27(may extend to 30 depending on final numbers) will be eligible for the locked divisions 1-3. The remaining divisions will be of an open format where teams will not be required to be locked in.
UNI Team and Junior teams.
In conjunction with the series supporters we are happy to announce a support scheme for the above criteria. Get in touch for more info.
Teams entering more than one squad will be offered a 30% discount of the second squad entered into the league.
The 3 man.
Due to the higher than expected volume of teams entering this years CPPS we have a problem with space for this format. This format will depend on team entries prior to each round and will only be played if there are sufficient entries/space available.
Referee Assesment Scheme.
We intend to not only assist in the training of new refs but also monitor and help improve the current refs in the system. This way we can insure that we have available the best referee's possible and that the highest standards are maintained.
We plan to have the refs all wearing numbered jerseys which will help keep records of any issues that arrive. If there is a problem a player can simply make a note of there number and we will record the issue and follow it up and then make any neccersary adjustments. Minor issues will not be permanently recorded but if there are any major niggles a record will be kept so if it persists we know we have a problem that needs more attention. This is not designed to undermine the refs as the guys we use do their upmost to perform for you guys as customers and for there own personal pride and rep. What we hope is that by doing this we can help improve the over all standard of referees.
Long term plan.
We hope that if we get things right we are building a structure into our events that will over time give a stable platform for all teams across all formats to develop and progress in the game. Some of the plans/ideas may seem overly complex or silly but there is a method to al off it. Whilst in talks with some of the sports bodies/councils from last year they all came back with a similar view on paintball. There is no kind of measurement of progression, or any real structure to it. What we hope is to slowly build and integrate this into our events.
The main philosphy for Balls Out Promotions is to put on events that are first of all enjoyable, but offer value for money and to be safe. Your hobby has to be fun otherwise you may as well stay at home! This doesnt mean we cant try and build the structure into a sport or at least into more defined activity but not at the expense of having some fun along the way.
Im not saying we are the right people to do this, hey plenty of better people than me have tried in the past so i cant say ill be any different. All i will say is i will give it my best shot and with the backing of the teams, the support pledged so far by some of the industry it should be a good year.
