CHI-TOWN SERIES 2009
CHI-TOWN SERIES 2009
Summation Letter from the Director What can we say not the year we expected but all things considered not the worst either?
A lot of sponsors cut back and some pulled out all together. Hell some went completely out of business, Team attendance was down with a lot of teams saying “just can’t afford to play”. With all that considered we had one of the most competitive years ever in the D3 division.
That being said we are already making plans for the 2010 series. Here is what we are thinking and if you would like to add some input please do. What we ask though is send us and e-mail with your actual name if you want your comments to be taken seriously. Throwing a comment on a thread somewhere isn’t beneficial to anyone and never has ever changed anything.
#1. We are still committed to figuring out a winning combination for the D2 division. Time never permitted a true x-ball format so we ran with a modified version the last 2 years. The PSP has switched to a “race too” format and we are looking at mirroring their rules and criteria for next year.
#2. D3 will still be run as a 5 man but we are leaning towards just calling it a true D4 division so everyone knows what to expect from it.
#3. Prizes, this will be the biggest challenge for next year. Sponsorship has all but disappeared so we will continue to do the best we can and maintain the current cost structure. We are always open to ideas for this one!
#4. APPA or not to APPA that is another question. We are considering using their ranking system in 2010 but it’s not perfect either. I have seen players that were playing professional 1 ½ years before now ranked D4 in their system. There are always a few people out there trying to cheat any system put in place and that will never change. So let us know what you think on that one too.
The state of the economy affects everything including the paintball industry.
Team attendance is down in every series, businesses are hurting and money is tight everywhere. But like every other tough time this one will pass also.
We are committed to do whatever it takes to put on a great 2010 series and we are all in the together. So we’re listening, tell us what you think and we will see you in 2010.
