SEMI PRO 2 (SPL 2)
For teams trying to work their way up the ladder to the
CPL (pro) division, one of the steps to get there is to
dominate the lower divisions. SPL 2 is one of the swing
divisions where there are some really good and talented
squads and some that probably won’t be here next year.
Four SPL 2 teams made it through the preliminary rounds
unscathed. Winning all of their round one games in the
SPL 2 were Rain Of Fire Nuernberg, FiveStar Lleida 2,
Durham DV8 and Low Life Uddevalla.
Low Life Uddevalla made it all the way to the quarterfinals
where they beat FiveStar Lleida Two, 4-3. Inflame
Regensburg beat Razorback Saint Etienne 4-3, Force
Majeure Moscow handled Bandits Wells 4-1, and Bad Boyz
Oss 2 sent Dynamix Metz home early 3-1. In the finals Bad
Boyz Oss 2 played their best ball of the weekend beating
Force Majeure Moscow 4-2 to take first place.

LOWER DIVISIONS
The Open Division 1 featured a handful of really good
teams--Headshot Moscow, Elite Ile d Oleron, Copenhagen
PB Club and West Connection Rouen sit atop the OD1
yearly rankings. In the end it was Headshot Moscow
winning their second event of the season, beating Black
Cape Gothenburg 4-1 in the finals. Los Angeles Wrecking
Crew beat Saar Fanatics 4-2 in the OD2 finals to take home
their first ever Millennium Series win. Gladiatori Unicusano
won the OD3 division with a final round win over Ogre
Moto-Ski 2-1.
NATIONS CUP
One of the highlights of any Millennium Series event is
the Nations Cup and the men got a chance to play this
one. If you’re not familiar with the Nations Cup, the theme
changes at each event. We had the ladies play earlier this
year, we’ve had the men play here in the UK and the U19
(Under 19) will play in Chantilly in September.
