In Saison 2005 der Milleniunm Series wird es keine EXL Xball™ Liga geben! Die Pressemitteilung dazu:The Millennium Series have historically been the power behind innovation & change in the world of professional paintball.It is our intention to continue to build a professional paintball circuit in Europe that will be the envy of the world. After 18 years of involvement in tournament paintball we realise our strengths & weaknesses. We now intend to fully capitalize on our strengths and achieve ambitious but realistic goals.One version of the sport which has many positive points for both players and spectators is X-Ball™. Last year the Millennium Series invested heavily in forming the EXL and bringing X-Ball™ to Europe.However, the weaknesses in this format became evident. The costs to both players and promoters were very prohibitive. This was evident in the low attendance in Open X-Ball™ throughout the year and the obvious strains placed on the EXL Teams.To this end we have had to delay further involvement in X-Ball™ for this year and return to our original goal of professionalizing and improving the 7-man format at a more practical speed.We hope that this is not the end of our involvement with X-Ball™ and will continuously consider how and when this type of paintball can be integrated into Europe.Contact:Administration DepartmentKarlijn van [email protected]
