FED Cup Info 2010 (UK)

The Federation would like to announce the details of the 2010 Fed Cup (18th and 19th September 2010).

The purpose of the Fed Cup is to create a fantastic end of season event bringing the best talent from the North and South of the UK together to find out who are the UKs Champions.

This year the event will be held at the new Balls Out Promotions venue (home of the CPPS) in Rodbaston College. Rodbaston, Penkridge, Stafford ST19 5PH

This year the main events will be the X-Ball 'Race to 4' format (12 teams Max) and a 5 Man 'Race to 2' format. Saturday 18th September will be qualifying day; teams will be fighting both 5 Man 'Race to Two' and X Ball 'Race to 4' to qualify for the Sunday club finals on Sunday the 19th September. The teams that do not qualify will be able to register to play the FREE Fed Plate 5-Man (no race to) event on the Sunday… Yes!!!! FREE of charge.


Everyone at the Federation wants players to have value for money and also to get as much Paintball in as possible and thus this year, EVERY team will play both days. We have tried to keep the entrance fee as low as possible but to also deliver to the players an event that the Federation Cup and UK Championships deserve.

Entrance Fees.

The Federation Members have again clubbed together to give the players the Federation Cup which will crown the UK's Champions.

For each and every team booked into the event and with entrance fees paid The Federation Members will put 5 cases of Paintballs into the prize fund. Which means if 50 teams attend the total prize fund will be 1/2 million paintballs...500,000 Paintballs given away to the top 3 teams in Division 1 (M7/X-Ball), Div 2 (M5/Race2two) and The NEW Fed Plate (5-Man) (see below for % Split).
