AO rec. game during skyball

[Drizit]

ok guys i'm thinking that since rec ball is only going to be thursday night and it's $50 we sould have a game at one of the local fields (Area 51 to be exact, they have a nice clean field, it's well lit, and they have an air compressor.) so tell me when you want to go and i'll arange it as they are open 24/7 if you make an appointment.

the times are based on the fact that i think skyball ends at 6:00pm if i'm wrong then just start them 1h after it's supposed to close down.

[Drizit]

up

any one who's coming to skyball online?

[Muzikman]

Well if this year Skyball is anything like it has been in the past, They will be playing each night into the wee hours of the morning. Now with having 6 fields this year, they will probably make up alot of time.

When every you guys play (friday or Saturday...I'm leaving Sunday) I'll try to make it.

[Drizit]

hey there realy are some people on here.

sorry i didn't feel like just saying up.

[RoadDawg]

This may sound dumb but I don't care. Where is Skyball held at?

[lonsch]

i dont know if i will be able to ply with you guys since im playing in skyball but try to make yourselves seen durng the games so i can met you AO freaks :)

[Drizit]

it's not that dumb if you arn't form around here. it's at the skydome in toronto, ontario, canada.

just found out that saterday night is going to be the awards so, i'm thinking friday may be best, also it looks like the last game may go untill around 9:00pm so i'm thinking friday at 9:00 or 10:00 may be best.

[Drizit]

wow i'm just shocked by the response this is getting. lets have some feedback so i can make arangements for us.

[synreal]

potatoboy and i will be there, and i really dont care when(we are taking off at noonish on sunday though).

does this field have a wesbite (price list, pics, location, ...)

[Potatoboy]

When I called ZAP for information they informed me that they expect play to end around midnight on both days.

[Quiet]

I'm in the area, but tied up till 11:00

Never played against just mags... sounds like fun

[Drizit]

ok well i just got the goods form zap
it's midight on friday and 8:00 on saterday but awards start at 8:30 on saterday night. so... lets see a show of hands
friday night around 1:00am or saterday night some time after the awards.

i will be giving out my cell number to anyone who wants it so we can find eachother and the way there.

synreal i don't know their web site i've found it once but never again sorry.

however if i remember corectly the priceing goes

$10 entry
$0.09 paint
$5 for air all night
$0 co2

http://www.area51paintballpark.com/ ?

[Drizit]

yep that's the one. it appears you are more resorsefull (or board) then i am.

[Potatoboy]

I almost cried when I read 9 cents a ball...

But then I remembered, It's not real money!

[synreal]

so paint is what, 85-90 bucks (real money) per case?

how far is the field from the sky dome? i know most people attending will not have cars.

[Potatoboy]

assuming 9 cent rounds, and cases of 2000

we get 180 CAD per case.

assuming 1 CAD = 0.628655 USD (www.xe.com) we get 113.158 USD per case. Still very high.

[Drizit]

it's a bit of a drive, i'll see what we can do to arange trasport, i'm not realy sure how long it is as i have never gone there form the dome. i have a pickup with a cab so if you don't mind keeping down that will pack a few more in my truck, and i think a good number of the locals who will be there will drive, but i can't say for sure, the other option is to split the cost of a taxi.

depending on the turn out we may be able to squeez them a bit on paint price.

and what's all this about it not being real money? ;)

[Potatoboy]

The paint price does seem a little steep to me. Synreal and I are staying Downtown, not in the dome, so depending on when we do this we might have to leave from there.

And you know what us Americans (especially with us Detroiters being so close to Windsor) think of your Monopoly money...
:D

[synreal]

is paint really 9 cents a ball?

[Muzikman]

Isn't / Wasn't there a place called Paintball City or something along those lines. I stopped by there a few years ago and it wasn't all that far from the dome. I even found it on my own at night with really bad directions:)

[Drizit]

yah but the field isn't verry good... infact is just sucks. trust me 51 is a much better field. if we want to go saterday after the awards then we could dicuss how we will get there when we get together on friday and saterday.

[synreal]

Is there a chance you could look into getting a bulk rate on paint? 10 cents a ball (canadian or not) is pretty steep.

I'm still very interested though, Saturaday evening/night would be fine by me.

[Drizit]

i'll see what i can do but no promices, and that's about the going rate for paint up here. you do have to factor in shipping, duty and a 15% tax that is already in the price. that's $30 a case just in tax so it's not realy that bad.

[Drizit]

ok unless anyone has any strong objections i'm going to call the field and say that an unknown number of people from AO will be there saterday night after the awards.

if any of you need to get ahold of me my number is :
416-725-5710

once you hit toronto it will be a local call.
