The guys designing the Millennium layouts have been quite creative this year providing us one symmetrical layout, which wasn’t that much fun after all and the Paris layout that seems to offer countless variations off the bat (seems in present tense, as the next SPBL is played on that). The layout for Basildon seems to have some resemblance to the paris design, but it has a lot less effective lanes off the bat and a lot of the cross-field shots from (and to) the snake are blocked by the pins. The center also seems to have more weight than on the Paris layout, but the tent-side has potential for carnage. Nice to see how the field actually plays out, but it seems really interesting!
