PRESS RELEASE - 2012 CALENDAR UPDATES
MILLENNIUM FRENCH RIVIERA CUP - DATE CHANGE
In light of the clash of dates with the NPPL/PSP's 2012 opening event and in order to ensure everybody has the opportunity to experience what is likely to be an all time Millennium Classic event, we have managed to negotiate a new date for The Millennium French Riviera Cup. The date will now be;
23rd to 25th March 2012
All accommodation information will be published shortly. At this event there will be accommodation available for all at exceptional pricing and to suit all needs.
4TH EVENT CONFIRMATION
We are pleased to announce that our final event of 2012 "The World Cup" will once again be hosted at Disney Paris on;
12th - 14th October 2012
Millennium Series 2012 Calendar
The Millennium Series is pleased to announce its preliminary schedule for 2012. Although we are waiting on some contractual completion in order to confirm some details, we are confident that we can release the following schedule to you so as to facilitate early planning for all:
2012 Preliminary Event Calendar
March 30th, 31st, April 1st - The Millennium French Riviera Cup (St Tropez-Cannes), France
May 25th, 26th, 27th - Bitburg, Germany
June 29th, 30th, July 1st - London, UK
4th Event – Venue and Date to be confirmed
The Millennium, as in 2011, will keep the Series to 4 events as we feel the prevailing economic situation in Europe does not warrant a return to 5 events next year. We will re-evaluate the situation once more at the end of the 2012 season.
Following a very successful 2011 Series which saw attendance grow against a backdrop of economic turmoil, The Millennium Series is determined to continue this trend throughout 2012 and to work closely with teams and traders to promote paintball and to encourage the sport and industry further still.
In 2012 we will introduce another new and exciting location and venue and following on from the 2011 success, will (in collaboration with the EPBF) once again give national teams the opportunity to compete for their country in EPBF International Cup competitions. Further information will be available in the coming weeks via The Millennium, EPBF and your National Federations.
As with the last couple of years we have been very careful when choosing venues to ensure the best possible value for teams, trying to keep additional costs to a minimum. Although this year we have spread slightly further afield with the addition of "The French Riviera", there will be superb and very reasonably priced accomodation for all available, (details to follow shortly), making this a very cost effective event to attend with an atmosphere second to none. This event promises to be an all time classic.
In order to fine tune and improve the playing experience at Millennium events, we will shortly be sending out a questionnaire to all teams participating in 2011 to gain a good understanding of our customer needs and requirements and act on them accordingly.
We look forward to welcoming you to the 2012 Series! Further event information, including 2012 entry fees for open divisions will be available shortly.
The Millennium Series Division 3 Winners 2011
Winners: GFY Evolution Paris
2nd Place: Great Hellfire Bastards
3rd Place: Piratas Villa do Bispo
"The Pirates Team was founded eight years ago and since then has participated twice (2006 and 2007) at the Millennium Series, having failed to get great results until now due to the fact that numerous players have left the team.
We would like to dedicate this third place to the small and single sponsor of paintball "Emboscada".
We would like to congratulate the Millennium Series for organizing magnificent events and all the teams that have given us great moments of fun, and regretfully in the coming years will not participate in these events due to lack of sponsorship.
Thanks to all who supported us, we hope to see you soon."
4th Place: Personal Vendetta
"We would like to start by thanking the Millennium Organisation and the Refs. We would also like to thank our sponsors; GI Sportz and Paintball Distribution for the best paint we have ever shot during 2011, SIDE EFFECT for the ultimate Pro jersey and the after game, Maxs-sport for the ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK and their support, Mister MG for his perfect photography during all the season and Fullpaintball.com for the training field during the year.
We would like to thank all the other teams we are playing with at these tournaments.
We will come back even stronger for the season 2012; it will be a "Personal Vendetta".
Don't forget guys:"Play for fun""
The Millennium Series Division 2 Winners 2011
Winners: Izmir Angelpark
"Izmir Angelpark has been a cooperation between a Turkish owner, Turkish players, and some Norwegian players in 2011. When we started the season our main target was to be able to play a couple of Sundays. It has been a journey over all our expectations. I want to thank everybody that helped the team out in any possible way. That goes to our owner, players, those who collected our pods and our family and friends. We also want to thank our sponsors: DYE, Celtic, Turkish Shooting and Hunting Federation.
We are looking forward to rock Div 1next season!"
2nd Place: RMG Bratislava
"Team RMG Bratislava loves the Millennium Series! Everything we ever wanted from this sport happens right there.
Congratulations to Izmir for taking the 1st place and also to all other teams for being great competitors. Div2 was pretty strong and we can't wait to step up to Div1 and perform there on a higher level. I want to take this opportunity to thank my teammates, fans, friends and our families for being there for us each day, practice and tournament - we have done it together! Last but not least I want to thank our partners and sponsors; MAXS AUSTRIA, MacDev, Tanked, Rockstar and our local field of choice - the Paintball Action Park. Their products, expertise and support were essential for us. Season is almost over, so I wish all of you great winter season, Merry Xmas and Happy New Year:)"
3rd Place: Gold Coast Dijon
"The Millennium Series season is now over. Not only did we achieve the 3rd place at the Paris Disney World Cup, but we have every right to be proud of our overall 3rd place. Our efforts, trainings, patience, passion, but also fair play ended up really paying off.
We would like to warmly thank the Millennium Series team for the perfect organization of this event, with a particular attention to Paula’s patience, the referees’ strictness, and our opponents’ game.
We would also like to show a lot of affection for all of you who supported us this year. The players for the many constructive games we played together (7ème Compagnie, Jacks Team, White Rabbits, …), the pits and the trainers without whom all these contests could not happen and all our fans (those who could travel across the countries to support us, as well as those who were constantly in connection with us through our website).
To sum up, it was a real pleasure to participate in the Millennium Series events. Thank you all for making it possible.
A special thank to Draxxus Paintball, Neosys Paintball, the Illico Painto Association, the B&B hotels.
Provided our resources allow us to keep going, we will proudly represent our region Burgundy, our town Dijon and why not you (!?) in Division 1 next year.
Sponsors and partners, we are looking forward to hearing from you ;-)"
4th Place: FL Charms Oslo
The Millennium Series Division 1 Winners 2011
Winners: Manchester Firm
"We started the year with our best and most experienced roster of players ever. Gaining 1st places in Paris Longchamp and Campaign Cup but a disappointing result in Germany, we knew we had to come back to France, play world cup and smash it.
We played some very close games against some talented and tough teams. Making several come backs and enduring some real nail biting moments, we achieved our goal. 1st place at World Cup and Division 1 champions for 2011 - an amazing feeling! The guys have worked especially hard this year and it has paid off.
We have to say a huge thanks to our sponsors, without them, what we have achieved simply would not have been possible. Planet Eclipse, for providing the incredible Ego11 and Geo2.1s that we use as well as top quality playing gear, Kee Action sports for our masks and packs and finally RPS for giving us amazing paint throughout the year you could check that most of the team who stood on the podium this year will have been using RPS paint, it's like lasers, Plus we would like to thank JUST Paintball for being there for us this year and of course Rich Harris and Mark from the CPPS, they have backed us now for 2 years with holding the best UK tournaments and practice venue, so if any one wants to come and play with The Manchester Firm we are holding a open weekend on the 29th and 30th of October details our on our facebook page...see you all next year in SPL :)"
2nd Place: Empire Venice
3rd Place: Hulk Kiev

This year the team has started its history at the Millennium Series with an aim of winning an SPL place for the season 2012 and successfully completed it! “Hulk Kiev” will proudly represent Ukraine at the SPL in the next season! The team wants to say thanks to the sponsors Planet Eclipse and Dark Sports, and also to its captain Iaroslav and coach Alex Prystupov that have all done much for these wins!"

The Millennium Series Semiprofessional Paintball League Winners 2011
Winners: Consilium Dei Zurich
2nd Place: All Russians Moscow
3rd Place: Dogs D'Amour Thessaloniki
4th Place: Ranger Warsaw
"Ranger Warsaw is the oldest, and currently the best Polish paintball team!
We are a group of players, who dream to prove their professionalism by advancing Ranger Warsaw to CPL in a few seasons. With our dedication and awesome sponsors, such as Dark Sports, Planet Eclipse and Skill paintball store, the CPL dream is within our reach
“No one fights alone” - our motto represents our philosophy - to fight together as a team of hard working craftsmen, who find strength in unity. We wish to thank the Millennium Series, the Euro Refs and the teams who organize and participate in the Series, for their hard work and dedication - you help us get stronger and better at what we do!
Next year you will hear our battle call much more often, so remember this: WHO WINS? RANGER!"
The Millennium Series Champions Paintball League Winners 2011
Winners: Art Chaos Moscow
"It is easy to pick up an event win, but it is MUCH harder to win the series. It happens because you have to maintain the same competitive level throughout the whole season, but it is SO HARD when you have SO many great, talented and always improving teams from all over the world. The Millennium Series is a unique league that has given such a chance of deserving such an honour of playing side by side with such competitors as top CPL teams. So we are very happy to be not just on top but to set a new standard - to play in four out of four finals of the year and to win three of them...None of the teams in the past three years have managed to do that. Looking forward to another great season where we will all together have another chance of setting new standards for OUR sport!!! There is a piece of Chaos in every art."
2nd Place: San Diego Dynasty
"We would like to thank the Millennium Series for putting on another great season of events. We really enjoy coming over to Europe because of the quality of events, the great competition, and the excellent reffing. Hopefully we will be able to come back again next year. We wouldn't be able to play paintball without the great support and gear from Empire, Planet Eclipse, Guerrilla Air, RPS, CP, DGX, and Maxs. We love coming over to Europe to play the Millennium, and appreciate all the support we get from the fans. Make sure to keep track of what we're doing by following us on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/DynastyPaintball or on our website at www.DynastyPaintball.com."
3rd Place: Toulouse Tontons
"For our 20th season (15 in pros since 1997), we would like first to thanks spectators for their support, all the players for their dedication and Frank Mouren for his involvement in the Tonton club and paintball career. We would also like to thank our sponsors: Dye with the best marker and playing gear, Carnage for the amazing paint, Supairball, Energy Paintball, Paintball Store and Xpaint.
The Tontons Flingueurs are by far the most succesful European paintball team in history . The 2nd worldwide oldest team still playing in pro category and we will be training hard with one goal: to win the Millennium CPL for the 6th time. We look forward to next season for the 20th team anniversary."
4th Place: Marseille Icon
"Marseille Icom has been playing CPL for 5 years now and it is clear to everybody that this season we’ve reached a new step, winning most of our prelims games, 2 quarters and one semi final. We stepped up during the year, bringing new kids into the CPL and, one step at a time we joined ranks with the big teams with a 4th place in the Champions League.
There was a time when we were close to hell, fighting to stay among the best. We have always believed in ourselves and we gave a chance to succeed to many kids insofar as we formed them.
We draw our strength from the fact that we are a 100% French team; we are a real unit, playing for one another, training young players. And we aim at getting them to the top.
This success story wouldn’t be possible without our very loyal sponsors: Planet Eclipse, Black Eagle, Pull-In, Reball, Tanked, Sly and CCS & Laquet Ets.
Thanks to our people, to our fans, to everyone!"
Art Chaos Moscow - Champions Paintball League: Champions, World Cup Paris-Disney 2011
"The Paris event is always very impressive, not only because of the beautiful city but also because of the French teams and the French crowd. The competitive level is always VERY high and it is always hard to win, World Cup Paris-Disney 2011 was not an exception. Not surprisingly in the finals we had to play not against the Americans but the proud sons of France - TonTons. Luckily we were stronger in spite of their motherland and cheering crowd. In the epic European final where both sides have shown sports professionalism and mutual respect, Art Chaos has managed to climb to the very top of European Paintball.
We give great respect to Millennium Series that keeps on making great events, we say thank you to the refs who are raising their professional level from event to event, to the fans and crowds who are making games a real sport and, of course, to all of our opponents whom we not just respect but consider to be our brothers in Sports that we are all trying to put to another level.
A separate word to our proud sponsors who have helped to create a new star in European history. These are; Sardar Sardarov, Arenda Auto and TCH - they have gathered us and have given us the fantastic opportunity to compete at such a high level. Carnage paintballs - the very best real European paintballs that are setting new standards, SLY equipment- the new and very innovative PB onfield gear, MACDEV guns- very best and super reliable gun that helps us to be on top for the second season in a row, MAXSIMUM customs for super stylish jerseys and design. Without you guys we wouldn't be the Art Chaos Moscow that is well known today.
There is a piece of Chaos in every art...even in paintball"
