First thoughts of the field.
Bricks on “snake” make their way over the pond. 50% of the field is the same as in Malaga. Maybe it’s to make the change small for those Malaga games yet to be played. Or the French guys who have been training on this field for the past two weeks just didn’t bother to move the bunkers too much… Continue reading ‘Millennium Bitburg Layout’ »
The Millennium Series posted a release on Spirit of Paint regarding the “force majeure” obstructed teams for the locked divisions:
in English:
After much consideration and consultation we have arrived at what we believe is the fairest solution for all teams in order to complete Malaga and continue the season with the least impact and disruption to all.For all the teams that attended Malaga it is our intention to complete remaining games in Bitburg with some additional scheduling. In order to achieve this we will very much appreciate and require a degree of assistance from some teams.

After struggling with the poor web connections of our Spanish cribs, we were finally able to post up some pictures from the Fuengirola Beach cup. You’ve all seen the pictures of the rough seas and suffering tents, so none of that this time. See below for a few pics that are also links to the galleries:
As flight got canceled trough most of Europe allot of teams and players missed Malaga. CPL team Chilli Peppers had their connecting flight trough Copenhagen where they got stuck when air space closed down. Chilli Peppers decided no matter what to get to Malaga if they just wouldn’t have to do it by walking. Continue reading ‘Chilli Peppers Malaga Travel Story’ »
Okay, first game is done with Sugar Daddies from Sweden… Lost 4 to 3… I won’t try to save our grace, but still I think this is a good score considering. They are playing with flood lights on, so interesting times… I’m currently getting drunk with our favorite criminal Nysty and the unnamed player (Yo-L) who missed his flights. And we are envious of our guys there playing in the dark.
Update: the second game with Copenhagen Synergy went our way 4-0. We (both malaga and Helsinki) are in the groove… Hopefully.
Here’s some pics from the site, provided by Sam. We have 6 out of 7 guys at Malaga… One missed his flight by sleeping. He went to the airport and got on another flight, which broke down and had to return to Helsinki. Talk about bad luck (and a little bit of stupidity). Now he’s hanging at Helsinki airport (still serving) waiting for his flight.

As everyone can remember 2009 season didn’t start for Millennium Series that well in Malaga as the whole event was canceled due to strong wind. Having strong wind and stormy weather for this time of year in Fuengirola is quite typical, Now we are here again for 2010 and if weather is tomorrow morning anything like today the event will be an replay from last year. As to what did the organizers do things different for this year. Player areas are now moved to walkway side to prevent pits floating to the sea. Too bad spectators have now no way of following games on the sideline and the sea is still reaching snake side bringin in miscellaneous crap all the way to the field. We can only cross our fingers and hope for the sea to be allot calmer tomorrow. Continue reading ‘Millennium Series 2010 Malaga – Thursday’ »
It seems that this years Millennium Malaga might just be a bigger disaster than last year. Sam just reported that there is a storm in Malaga, that seems to be even windier than last years. Weather forecasts say that it should be over by Friday morning, but rain will keep the whole week-end. Combine that with our own little Pinatubo in Iceland which is shutting down the air traffic in Northern Europe. Some of the teams and referee’s are on their way and will be affected by the Flight situation.
Will this be another blow to already suffering Millennium Series? Will they play any games? Will our boys be hammered out of their minds on Friday? Is it 2012 already? We will keep you posted on all the gritty details as they come available, here and on Facebook!
Now that we have the dramatic yellow newspaper headlines done; I’ll send all my strength to my boys in black and blue. Like I’ve said, we are at our best when everything fails.
Update: Reporting from site is mixed. Some say everything is going ahead and the wind isn’t bad. One thing is propably sure; Rumormill will keep feeding itself throughout the weekend.
Update Part Deux: Weather is clearing. Here’s me, hoping that the games get on tomorrow. SPL is loosing at least four teams (thanx Wil @ Paintballer-forums.com), because of the flights. No idea how many Div 1 teams. For once I’m happy to live up here, flights have to be flown early to get anywhere.

So first NPPL event for 2010 has started at Huntington Beach today. With 120 teams ranging from 5-man pump teams to regular 7-man witch is about the same number USPL had last year for Huntington Beach. NPPL has been advertising webcast for their event but so far there isn’t any feed available from uspl.tv. Also there are no score updates from the event to NPPL schedule or any social media. If you want to take an quick peak at Huntington Beach you find at least beach city camera sarcasm. Hopefully the whole event isn’t just an black hole as to results and whats going on down at the beach.
Pro teams will start their games on Saturday and teams in this year are: Oakland Blast, New Port Entourage, St. Louis Avalanche, Chicago Legend, Los Angeles Infamous, Tampa Bay Damage, San Francisco Explicit, Edmonton Impact, Seattle Naughty Dogs, San Diego Dynasty, Sacramento XSV and Indianapolis Mutiny.
