Hi all, If anyone has been following us on facebook, you'll see that we've been busying ourselves down at the site these past couple of months. We've created a new hardcore staging area, viewing mound, added drainage, installed water to every field and we're now preparing for the two new fields......needless to say it's been a busy time and there's still lots more work to do, which we're looking forward to tackling! Now that 2013 is fast approaching, it's time to get out some more information for you all. First off, I'll start off with the confirmed dates for the season: To confirm our dates for the rest of the year: Round 2: 12th May Round 3: 23rd June Round 4: 4th August Round 5: 1st September Breakout division will now fall on the Saturday before each of these main dates and will now be a regular feature at CPPS; allowing new teams a friendly and low cost entry into our sport. Other events: 21st August: PSP event 6th October: 7 man event F5 event date to be announced! ____________________________ Back to our main events...... We're re-naming the divisions for both clarity and to better match the rest of the world ranking systems next season, so the divisions will now be known as follows: Elite (Race 4 invite/locked only) Division 1 (Race 4) Division 2 (Race 2) Division 3 (Race 2) Division 4 (5 man) Division 5 (5 man) These will obviously correspond roughly to what has already been set in place over the past couple of years. We will be levelling the number of teams out between division 4 and 5 to provide more matches for the new division 5, and make division 4 a more competitive division for the teams near the top of the bracket at the close of 2012. Further to this, with us running five fields next season, each division will have an AM start and will be on their own field for a full day's play. As we've stated previously, each leg will be a cup event in its own right and will be sponsored by a different company (details to be released shortly). Following your set amount of matches, the highest 4 placed teams on the day in each division (for division 3 and above only) will then go on to play an extra match in a finals play off, following which there will be trophies and prizes for each division. Elite and Division 1 will be playing 4 matches(plus an extra one if finals are made), Division 2 and 3 will be playing 5 matches (plus an extra if finals are made) and division 4 and 5 will be playing a minimum of 10 matches over the day. ____________________________ We will be locking the amount of teams per division and those numbers are as follows: Elite: 12 teams Division 1: 12 teams Division 2: 8 teams Division 3: 8 teams Division 4: 14 teams Division 5: 14 teams You can post up here to confirm your place into the relevant division(s). Following a full uptake of allocated spaces, you will then be added to a waiting list for that division. Dependant on entries for each division, we may adjust these initial entry numbers, however, this will be used as our starting base; as it allows us to plan game times/fields for the time being. If you have a special request for a division entry, please email me (ainsley@okpb.co.uk). We will be looking at the last series final standings to ensure there is a fair level of entries across the board. Prices for the divisions will be as follows: Elite: £275 Division 1: £250 Division 2/3: £225 Division 4/5: £200 *Any second team entered into another division will be granted a £25 discount on their highest ranking team. An additional £25 will be knocked off for a 3rd team entered. Further to this, if any team offers a referee for the day (must have attended a CPPS ref clinic) then they will be given a £50 discount for entry as well as £10 to cover any petrol costs their referee may have. This will be on a first come, first served basis, so please email me for more details. CPPS Referee clinic details to follow shortly. ____________________________ Pre-payment scheme and membership: For 2013, we are offering a pre-payment scheme for the 5 events which will further reduce your cost of entry: Elite: £1200 (compared to £1375, a saving of £175). Division 1: £1100 (compared to £1250, a saving of £150). Division 2/3: £1000 (compared to £1125, a saving of £125). Division 4/5: £900 (compared to £1000, a saving of £100). Any teams taking up this offer before March 1st, 2013, will be granted a free "Small Team Membership" package(see below for more info), valued at £150 per season, as well as being able to reserve a pop up tent at our main events. In addition to this, the first 5 teams taking up the offer before 1st February, 2013 we will also be entitled to a 20% reduction fee into Division 3 of the London leg of the Millennium Series in 2013. We are funding this reduction to encourage teams who are thinking of playing Millennium and support them in their journey. Membership: We want to encourage teams to train next season and so are offering membership packages for individuals and teams alike. Players who join will be given discounted training fees at £10 per head (rather than £15). There will be a minimum of 15 training days next season in between March and November. We have lots of exciting things planned this year and further benefits of membership will be released in the coming months. Individual membership: £25 per year, payable by March 29th 2013.

Chimera for division 3 please. Will chat to the boys about payment upfront but we will be at every round regardless. Thanks for all the hard work.
Hi Ains, Great news. London Samurai MV (Div2) - (EBPF Team ID 0000773) London Samurai (Div3) - (EBPF Team ID 0000851) London Samurai TopCats (Div4) - (EBPF Team ID 0000852) Confirmed to pay in full upfront and also a Large Team Membership please. Great news ... looking forward to the events ... series as extra. Have a great weekend.
To answer a couple of questions I've received...... 1. If a 2nd team also pays upfront, then the extra £25 discount will also apply to the prepayment per round (ie another total saving of £125). 2. Training days - 15 have been stated, these are Sunday's only, do not include the day before events, and are counted from May through September....there will be days outside of this also. 3. Only one discounted entry to the Millennium London leg per team(s). So if your first/second team went with the season prepayment, only one of the teams (your choice) would be entitled to the discount for Mills.
Just want to let people know that we've had a LOT of interest for the prepayment offer and the Millennium London leg div 3 discount. This only applies to the first 5 teams taking it up, so if you are considering it, decide fast!
Hello Ainsley I think our team captain bob may have already confirmed our entry with you but in case he hasn't. Please could you put Team Kinetic in Division 1. site improvements look and sound awesome, looking forwward to this season. cheers Craig P - Team Kinetic
Hi all, out of the 5 slots for the Millennium Div3 discount, 2 have already gone and the 3rd won't be long. Remember this is another saving of £150 on top of the CPPS series discount and a free small team membership (valued at £160) so please get moving if you do want to take advantage of this offer! It's a total saving of anything from £410 - £485 depending on what division you're playing!!
