FED CUP 2010 Official Info
The Federation would like to announce the details of the 2010 Fed Cup (18th and 19th September 2010).

The purpose of the Fed Cup is to create a fantastic end of season event bringing the best talent from the North and South of the UK together to find out who are the UKs Champions.

This year the event will be held at the new Balls Out Promotions venue (home of the CPPS) in Rodbaston College. Rodbaston, Penkridge, Stafford ST19 5PH

This year the main events will be the X-Ball 'Race to 4' format (12 teams Max) and a 5 Man 'Race to 2' format. Saturday 18th September will be qualifying day; teams will be fighting both 5 Man 'Race to Two' and X Ball 'Race to 4' to qualify for the Sunday club finals on Sunday the 19th September. The teams that do not qualify will be able to register to play the FREE Fed Plate 5-Man (no race to) event on the Sunday… Yes!!!! FREE of charge.

Everyone at the Federation wants players to have value for money and also to get as much Paintball in as possible and thus this year, EVERY team will play both days. We have tried to keep the entrance fee as low as possible but to also deliver to the players an event that the Federation Cup and UK Championships deserve.

Entrance Fees.

The Series Winners of Each Division at the CPPS and NSPL will be granted a FREE entrance fee into this year’s Fed Cup. For everyone else the entrance fees will be as follows:

5 Man Race to 2 Format £325

Xball Race to 4 Format £350


DISCOUNTS… Any team that has played 4 CPPS or NSPL events (the two sanctioned Federation series) will receive a £50 discount off the above prices.

Camping will be allowed on site from the Friday and will be FREE of Charge. Hotel info to follow.

Prize Fund. The prize fund this year is even bigger that last year’s fund!!!

The Federation Members have again clubbed together to give the players the Federation Cup which will crown the UK's Champions.

For each and every team booked into the event and with entrance fees paid The Federation Members will put 5 cases of Paintballs into the prize fund. Which means if 50 teams attend the total prize fund will be 1/2 million paintballs...500,000 Paintballs given away to the top 3 teams in Division 1 (M7/X-Ball), Div 2 (M5/Race2two) and The NEW Fed Plate (5-Man) (see below for % Split). As well as trophies to third place in each division there will be the Federation Cup M7 Champions Trophy and the M5 Trophy which will be engraved with the Winner of each year’s Federation Cup and be those teams to keep until they try and defend the Trophy the year after.

More information about the Fed Cup prize fund...

The Fed Cup already has a very impressive prize fund, but as promised here are some additional prizes that will be given away this year on 18th and 19th September.

The Millennium Series has pledged 2 FREE entrance fees to an event of the winner’s choice in 2011. There will be 1 x Div 3 Entrance and 1 x Div 2 Entrance fee paid for which is worth more than €2000! The Millennium series are as committed to driving tournament paintball forward in Europe as the Federation is and this is a great prize for any team looking at taking the next step forward. The two prize winning teams are to be selected by you guys. Each Fed Team will be asked to vote for their favourite 2 eligible teams and the two teams with the most votes will be awarded the prizes. (see below for T&C’s)

And it doesn’t finish there…..The CPPS and NSPL have also donated an entrance fee at one of their events next season (2011). Both the CPPS and NSPL event organisers will be awarding their ‘Most Improved Team of the Season’ award at the end of the event. This team will get to play a leg for FREE at the other affiliated series. This again is an amazing prize and reinforces the commitment that the NSPL and CPPS have towards each other in terms of cooperation and solidarity. (see below for T&C’s)

The Federation believes that the Fed Cup is the perfect end to what has already been a great season in UK Paintball. As more information and special Fed Cup events are confirm they will be posted on http://www.paintballfederation.co.uk web site and also on http://www.p8ntballer-forums.com/vb/...all-Federation forum… Keep your eye’s open and book in quick..

Please Note…..that the Millennium prizes has been given by the Millennium Tournament Series Organisers. Bookings , questions or queries need to be taken up with them directly. This prize is NOT eligible to any contracted CPL, SPL or Div 1 Millennium Teams. It cannot be sold or traded on.

The Most improved Team awards from the CPPS and NSPL cannot be traded on or sold and bookings should be taken up directly with the CPPS or NSPL Directly.

Wow!

[Cowface]

wow,

!! that is impressive !

[Chris - Syd]

Right guys, I will be working on the National Rankings after the final event of the CPPS this weekend and these will (hopefully) be used to seed everyone in to the Federation Cup, which is, remember, our National Championships event.

I am hoping for a huge amount of support from NSPL teams at these Championships to show the northerners just what we are made of down South.

If you need any help, let me know.

Otherwise, please contact Steve at the UKPSF to get your team booked in ASAP - time is running short now.

[bbarathy]

Kinetic have paid deposits for two teams to play and are gearing up for what is hoped will be a fab weekend of 'ballin'.

[ant290]

Looking forward to this.

[Chris - Syd]

HK Army now confirmed as attending the Fed Cup Race-To-4 division - will be fun to knock heads with the notorious American party animals.

So, not only has the Fed Cup now got the National Championships title and a MASSIVE prize fund to boast about, it is now the coolest place to be hanging out on Sept 18th-19th!

Be there or be crap.
