Chicago Area Players

[Shaft]

I know there is a thread about the chicago area guys startin' a team. How many of us are from the area?
When we all going to get together for some paintball or wings at Hooter's or something? What's yer favorite field?

I've been haunting CPX about every other week. I can't get enough of Bedlam. I need to check out some other fields - hate to be limited.

I live in Bridgeview, right outside of chicago...my choice would be Country Club (Indoor) ...cause its muooch'o free'o outside!

[nutz]

[Monsta]

Ya "we" might. All depends on who else will be there

[Zo]

[blnk162]

Fallout is in it, we practice at badlandz usually.....Enter the 3 man at ccp the 25th, great prizes, gerat reffing, fun time.

[Zo]

Us Chicago AOers could always meet and arrange something at the AGD factory tour in a couple weeks.

I'm up for paintball anytime, with AOers is even better. I think our team should be at CCP on the 25th too. There is also another tourney that weekend at Fox. Depending on how are team is looking we may play both. Anyhow let me know I'll play.

Hey gambit, im the captain of fallout, we were at the last ccp tourney with you, we were the 17 year olds that can BALL, maxed every game and then got screwed in the finals

Are we talking about entering an AO team or teams at the 2002 Chicago Open? I have been wanting to play in that event for the last 3 seasons! I have not been able to get enough guys together with the money for the event. I have about 3 or 4 of my team mates the are very interested in this. I would also be happy to volunteer my services to help in organizing and setting up practices or whatever else we want to do. I am the team captain of Damage Inc. and I have been running my own teams for 4 seasons now. I am going to be at the tech class and the tourand we can talk about this further. Who knows we may even be able to get some sponsorship for the event from AGD provided we all use some sort of mag. What do you guys think????

[skipdogg]

We'll see you guys at the tour and we can all "chew the fat" about some playing time.

[Bartleby]

just one thing:

I'm game! :D

[damageinc54]

Come on chicago players!! Are we going to put this together for the Chicago Open??? Lets do it!!!!!

[nutz]

glad to see some entusiasum it sounds great. i would definitly like to be a part of this

[Gunga]

If any Chicago AOers are interested, I'm meeting up with JonAGD and a couple other AOers (who's AO handles I forget) over at Badlandz on Saturday. We'll all be shooting Mags of course. ;)

There'll be a MicroMag, a MicroEmag, and two RetroMags slingin paint over there. Got some other buddies coming along too. Let's get an AO Army over there! :)

[damageinc54]

I am working so I will not be able to make it. I really do want to make this happen though. I have been wanting to play in the chicago open for 3 years now. I have 3 of my team mates interested also. We need to get a list of who is seriously interested and have a chat or get together. Lets make this happen!!!

[irbodden]

There are way too many people from the Chicago area. Anyone going to Grease Santa? Free field fee, rentals, and air(I think air..) and alot of raffles @ Blitz?

[the123]

I would be interested in playing the 10-man Chicago Open.
I'm already on a team and that is not really one of our events so it wouldn't clash with that I don't think.
The one thing is, we must practice together as much as possible. At the Badlandz preferably. With winter approaching, I won't be playing ball much anymore till the spring. Only indoors getting ready for Skyball. :)
Any other thoughts on the Chi Open?

i am game for the chicago open. i plan on playing a lot more paintball next year as i have most everything i need for my guns now.

[hubadlatimmy]

Okay first off do you guys have any clue how much it costs to play the chicago open? I was there this year and talked to rocky cagnioni and he said if you show up with less than 15 cases of paint per player you will get laughed at. I know that sounds unrational but you play that many games and you have to shoot the paint if you want to win. I was planning on playing next year until we actually found out that the rest of the team can't raise funds so I will be watching from the sidelines again this year. Just to give you an idea if would cost about a grand to pay for lodging food air entry fee and paint if you were to play.

I am not worried about the cost of the Chicago Open. As I stated earlier in the thread I have wanted to play for the last couple of years but my team mates could not afford it. That is why I am looking here for other guys that may have the money to play. Remember that paint is sold at discounted prices at the event also.
