havent' they already made the official announcement?

[Darkwulf]

I thought that they had so I contacted a Bill who is a tech for Planet Eclipse because we have 2 that we will need flashed and he said it wasn't official yet that he knew of. And when it was official then Eclipse would make it available to get boards flashed at a major event or in our case we would have to send them in.

I believe it is official. They don't have their 2009 rule book out but Lane Wright posted the announcement on pbnation on January 2nd.

It is postt #924 on page 44 of this thread: http://www.pbnation.com/showthread.p...927760&page=44

2009 Formats

These changes were brought about after many hours of discussion by our experienced owners group, our expert staff, industry leaders from outside of our group, and players from several respected teams.

The following changes are made with the intent to help teams compete in our tournament series despite the uncertain economic future faced by our industry and our society as a whole.

Our hope is that with these changes, teams and sponsors will recognize a significant savings in costs associated with competing at the highest level of tournament play, while not sacrificing the competitive integrity of our tournament series.

Expect a newly revised rule book to come in the middle of January. This rule book will be available for download at www.pspevents.com as soon as it is completed.

We look forward to seeing you all come out and compete in the series this year. We will strive to provide the same high quality tournaments we have supplied in past years.

Best Regards,

Something about not sure what the official tenths will be. Similar to 13.3. Maybe 10.69 or something

[Pantalones]

Word is that it will probably end up being like 10.5, the official decimal amount is probably going to be released later today, as the rules meeting took place yesterday. And eclipse boards can already be adjusted down to 10 bps, so it really doesn't need to be flashed.

[kwoodpaintballer87]

i was about to say, i can already adjust my eclipse boards down that much, but ok

[BigPimpin55]

if any L3 or L2 teams need a backman hit me up, looking for a team to play this series as always.

Come out both days for sure and if you like what you see try to get some buddies together, or find a team, and the next one you could play some L4 or something.
