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:

MS 2010 Malaga Friday Games Recap
Wireless at our hotel was down the whole day yesterday so had to wait with some on location updates and pictures.
Our first game started pretty late on Friday with some natural light available. Division 1. field has the setup where netting goes up with an inflatable cage with the purpose of quicker take-down and setup. The start for Division 1 field was supposed to be delayed only 1-2h but games ended up starting for us 5.5h delayed from schedule.

Pictures from The Site
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.

Millennium Series 2010 Malaga – Thursday
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’ »
Malaga Mayhem
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.
