AO-WI/IL/MN: Paintball Sams Spring Big Game 1 May 3rd and 4th, 2008

Field Size

Ok so I did an Approx.Measurement of the field VIA satelite imagery.I would say from WHITE FORT to FAR RED FORT is ABOUT 3200 FT.And Between NEAR Fort and FAR fort is about 2100 foot and the field is around 700 foot wide at the Bottleneck Near "hyperball" and closer to 1000 foot at the ENDS near the forts.
Playing from NEAR to FAR is A More RECTANGULAR field where as FAR to WHITE forts is more Hourglass shaped.Just An Observation.
I really would prefer to play the shorter of the two fields as it includes all the fun areas and alot less walking!

CHIME IN!!

Full Forts

Ok so I did an Approx.Measurement of the field VIA satelite imagery.I would say from WHITE FORT to FAR RED FORT is ABOUT 3200 FT.And Between NEAR Fort and FAR fort is about 2100 foot and the field is around 700 foot wide at the Bottleneck Near "hyperball" and closer to 1000 foot at the ENDS near the forts.

I Am On Schedule to finish ENOUGH of the field to play Full Forts!We'll see what everyone wants to do come game day,But expect FULL FORTS!Field Will Be WET but not so wet that it won't be about the same as usual.Wear some waterproof boots or something breaathable enough that you don't mind getting your feet wet here and there.Bridges are in the works anywhere They are needed.Nicaragua Looks Good for Big Game,At least it will be Playable,Probably pretty wet.Hyperball Area Is Being Fixed Up for Big Game to Fill the empty spaces and make the field Nice for LOTS of People.Haven't done the Main Forts YET,But I will Focus On them Heavily the Last weekend Before the Game!Stay Tuned Kiddies!! :rofl:
