Yes it is time to post the dates for next year so that everyone can make arrangements to attend as many events as possible....
The NEW VENUE FOR 2012 is SWAT paintball UK on the Wirral at postcode CH64 3TB, all the teams have been contacted and have confirmed that they will be attending using the new venue.
EIGHT rounds running from January thru to August of which SIX COUNT TOWARDS SERIES POINTS, with trophies for first to third being award at every round only the top three teams in the series will receive end of series trophies which are awarded at Shoot The Rainbow in September...
If teams play all eight rounds they will get a £100 discount from their entry into Shoot The Rainbow, if a team plays six rounds they will receive a £50 discount...
I am running one divsion of King of the Hill (Rookie Divsion) it is a millennium ramping division with limited paint a hopper and two pots per player and entry is £175, the team is allowed one experienced player only and he must play at the back of the field.
I also intend of having two divisions of 5 man, entry is £200, millennium ramping, 10.5bps..if teams would like to gave the Race to 2 or Ultra Lite a try then they can do this as only 6 of the 8 rounds count towards series.
Race to 2 or Ultra Lite has proven very popular with the teams and it is highly likely that i will have two divisions for 2012, entry is £250 per team, 7 players are allowed on their playing roster and as many pit crew as you like, they will also be allowed ONE pit coach and as many spectator side coaches as they want....teams will start in their division and after the first round the bottom team in division one will be demoted to division two, and the top team in division two promoted to divsion one, this will happen at every round, so that new teams to this format will feel more comfortable about making the step up from 5 man....if it isn't to your liking you can drop down to 5 man.
At this moment i have had limited interest in Race to 4 or UKM Lite if your team would like to play this then post on this thread, as i only need 4 teams to run a division and it is more than possible to do this along side, Ultra Lite, 5 man and KotH too...entry is £300 per team and you allowed 10 players on your playing roster...
If you can all post here to say what your team will be doing next year then teams will see who are stepping up, what new teams are joining the series, etc etc....
