The
PFL Prepares To Host Nationals V
It's been a long time coming, states The Swammi when referring to Nationals
finally coming to the birthplace of the Madden Community, South Florida. After
four years of taking the show on the road, Nationals comes to Miami, Fl. the
place Swammi wanted to have Nationals I.
"The time wasn't right back then," stated Swammi. "Now we I
think the ballers are ready to travel just about anywhere we have the tournament,
that's just how powerful this network and community has gotten."
The first Nationals was held in Atlanta in 1999 and was unofficially hosted
by the BFL. We say unofficially because they were not contacted are expected
to serve as a host, but that in turn is exactly what they did. "The BFL
showed us how important it is to have a host league in a city. That was something
we didn't know could be a valuable asset at the time. Because of their hospitality
and leadership, they stepped up in a major way. That is why we have host leagues
at every nationals now. We simply could not do it with out one."
Now as Nationals V approaches, The PFL, the very first league to sponsor Nationals,
and the very first Playstation league to hit the world wide web, is ready to
step up and help make this Nationals the best ever.
"We are looking to take Nationals to another level, just as each league
prior to us has done in the past," states MWS President and Nationals founder
The Swammi.
"Swammi & I have been talking since Los Angeles making sure we would
be prepared for when the games would come to Miami in July," stated PFL
Commissioner Teddy B. "We feel that The PFL is the world wide leader in
setting the trends for the Madden Community," The Swammi continued. "We
were first on the web, first to organize with a constitution and by-laws, first
to have an executive board, first to broadcast our championships via LIVE webcast,
and first to establish a true means of providing a National Championship as
well. Now we want to continue that great leadership in the community by throwing
the best Nationals that we possibly can."
For starters, The Swammi has contracted the lavish Intercontinental Hotel on
Biscayne Bay in downtown Miami to serve as host. The ballers will have an opportunity
to enjoy the South Beach nightlife, stay in a lavish hotel with all the amenities
that they could imagine. In addition, the first ever Nationals Golf Tournament,
sponsored by The PFL will be added to weekend events. A Nationals Pre Tournament
Party is slated for Friday night on South Beach as well.
"I have listened to the ballers over the past four years to see if we
can address their needs each year. And I think we will be close to, if not perfect
giving them the total package to get their Madden fix on, and to have a splendid
trip as well.
