The Millennium Series has posted the following Press release as a thank you for the season 2009:
28 of October, 2009
Dear Teams, Players & Paintball Industry,Having started the 2009 season in the worst storms during an event in our history it was nice to end in the near perfect conditions we experienced at our closing event in Antalya, Turkey.
We would like to thank all our Teams, Players & Sponsors for their support during 2009 with a particular thanks to all those who attended Turkey and helped make it the success it was. We must also thank the Turkish Shooting & Hunting Federation, without whom Turkey would not have been possible.
The Millennium Series has always looked for new approaches to our sport in order to increase markets and help new ones develop, we have proved our commitment to this many times. We also believe in continued innovation trying to juggle the various needs of the industry as a whole. Their were several critics of our plan to go to Turkey as has been the case in prior examples. We hope now that with such a magnificent season ending event we have silenced these voices and can now firmly put Turkey on the Paintball map.
In the next two weeks you will be receiving a great deal of information regarding the 2010 season plus an opportunity to express your opinions in order for us to develop and improve the Millennium further.
Once again thanks to all 2009 Millennium participants.
The Board & Staff of The Millennium Series
Kind Regards
A nice and positive way to end the season bearing in mind the controversy that the season ender surely has stirred up. If I was the series representative, I might have used stronger words towards the teams that failed to stick to their commitments. At least the tables have turned, the teams that failed to arrive became the laughing stock due to the outstanding tournament arrangements. I’m sure that the teams in question would have been happy to gloat “I knew this, I told you so” if anything would have gone wrong in the tournament. Talk about stuffing a sock in it..
