      Being a former head ref at Topgun (and a frequent customer) (and the sole posessor of photos of Little Miss Gong chasing Barney the Purple Paintball Playing Dinosaur in the parking lot):

      there are hotels right down the road from Top Gun. Its right near six flags, so of course there are several hotels right next to it.

      If you go south on the turnpike an exit or so or south on the parkway (pesos used to work in the change machines, I don't know if they do anymore) you will find a host of hotels off those exits.

      I don't know how much you want to spend, but there are better options than a HOJO in NJ.

      You guys need a bumper sticker that plays off the old joke: "I Live in New Jersey." "Oh, what exit?" I play paintball in NJ - What exit? - 7A dammit!

      Since I will have relocated to NH well before this game, I might just drop in...

          anyway.

          as to your 'how is the game going to run' issue.

          why not do a grab-bag tournament?

          everyone sticks their name in the hat. they are pulled randomly to create teams. you play a series of games (draw again for who vs who if you want); then draw teams again for the next round and so on.

          That way, everyone gets a decent chance of playing with and against a wide variety of attendees, there's no deliberate imbalance, no real pressure for "your" team to win or lose because your team will be different next game.

          If you want to you can keep track of an individual's win/loss record for the day - or eliminations/hits - but only if you want from stats for the day.

          I'd also schedule a: rebuild that A.I.R. contest for the fastest time and maybe a AO trivia contest. (The name for the first generation automag was: Smart Parts was a licensed dealer of AO accessories - True or False? Tom Kaye once used coprolites as a payload to test a rocket he had designed...)

                      I really like this idea! Course I would play in a "you guys go over there, we go over here, last man standing is the winner.. lol...

                      Looking forward to this...

                      Anyone e-mail Tom about this idea????

                        ...

                        Can I attend?! Or is it an invitation only event? I've been out of paintball for some time (3-4yrs), but I'm getting back into it for some recball. I had to drag out all my old equipment and would love to go to this. I use to play like every month at TopGun. Didn't Ray sell the field and move to the West Coast?

                        Please let me know...Thanks!

                            Ray is long gone. I forget exactly which guy owns it now.. I think his name is Carl. Not sure though.

                              Well guys - it looks like Tunaball II may have its first sponsor. Someone has contacted me about donating $1000 to the "Help keep the paint prices down" fund. So what I think I am going to do if this comes through is give the first 50 people who PREREGISTER $20 off their first case of paint.

                              This of course, is subject to change.. and I may just pocket the grand and go blow it on strippers and Jack Daniels.
