The clip features a short overview of the vendor village and a quick visit at the Virtue booth, along qith a quick team interview.

Millennium Series Changes Field Width!
The Millennium Series has had a pow-wow to decide on what to do with the changes the PSP announced a rough month ago. They posted a press release for that. Groovy, let’s check ‘em out!
For 2011 we are pleased to announce the following alterations to be in effect at Millennium events.
- Revoking Spotter Privileges / No spectator side “Coaching”.
- Improved Game Format for Division 3
- Field Size Adjustment (this is the thing)
- Extra Competitions for Nation Teams in Three Categories
So yeah, some of the changes sound quite the like the ones made by the PSP. There are some really substantial differences if we look at the changes in more detail:
Amtrak Classifies Paintball Markers as Firearms in U.S
As of tomorrow the 15th December U.S Railroad operator Amtrak allows unloaded firearms to be transported on train if pre checked and given at least 24h notice to Amtrak before departure. Requiring firearms to be transported in locked hard-boxes and pre checked sounds reasonable but now both paintball markers and airsoft markers get the same treatment and classification. Sure Amtrak doesn’t have luggage checks when you board so you can carry your gear if you want but what happens if an official decides to check your bag and follow the issue to the letter?
Once again we see how paintball equipment gets thrown in the same bunch as firearms. Even if Amtrak won’t pursue its customers with paintball markers its something that can easily carry ow-er to other similar circumstances and regulations.
You can find full Amtrak press release here or keep reading below.

DYE signs NE Hurricanes!
Wow, as far as sponsorship goes, this one is big news! DYE has signed New England Hurricanes for a multtiple year-contract, how do you like them apples? Quite an aggressive move in the sponsorship front.. Nice to see what the Hurricanes’ custom NT will look like. Strategically the signing is a well thought-out move, as the Hurricanes have been catching a lot of attention with their extremely well produced “Birth of a Storm” documentary.
Good luck to the endeavour!
Press release from DYE Precision’s Blog:
Old Finnish paintball store closing down.
Its always sad to see fields or stores closing down especially on such a small market like what we have here in Finland. Cool Games (Diehard) and people behind it where one of the driving factors to push tournament paintball forward in Finland. People with Cool Games worked for the passion for paintball but unfortunately working at your free time just for the love of the game doesn’t bring the bread to the table. Helsinki Cyclone would like to thank for the years we had together and all the support during that time. If you are looking for some cheap paintball items at closeout prices now is your chance as everything goes from the store this weekend. Please read below details in Finnish.
