Bay Area AO Day 2

[Steelrat]

Actually, I meant figure out who was going, THEN pick some dates, but you get the idea

Unfortunately, people may have been turned off by the nine pages of back-and-forth on the subject. To all those reading, lets go-for-broke and get this thing done!

Step #1: Do you want to participate?

[ZAust]

yes i want to participate. i was trying to get a new, more clear thread going on the topic but it didnt work.

z-man:

have you tried santa clara paintball in san jose? could you give us a comparison on the two if you have played there?

[Steelrat]

Thats three, lets keep 'em coming.

Also, like I said, this is a rare event, so some people are going to have to travel to get to wherever we decide to play. We are NOT going to be able to pick a field that is convenient for everyone. So please keep that in mind.

SCP definitely gives you the most bang for your buck.

I've been to SCP the past two weekends and the referees really give you a workout over there. As soon as a game is over, they give you a few minutes to switch sides and you start playing again. They give you no time to rest. It's non-stop painball for 3 hours til lunch, and then non-stop playing til the day is over. It's been actually pretty slow at SCP. There was less than 60 people each week I played.

If we're going to have an AO Day in July, SCP is probably the best place because of it's location, and also we decided this was going to be the field already. We just need to pick a date in July now. I'll start a list on Zaust's thread so we can start putting some names to a date.

Myself no however the many of the people who go to SCP ar not as satisfied with the place. It's fairly small (no more than 5 acres) and mainly speedball fields. The place is not as professionally run as T.A.G. and attracts some of less savory people I am told.

Of the 6 different guys I phones in the area, they all liked T.A.G better as it is larger, better run/ refed, and has speedball and more woodland ball for both types of play.

I still most strongly vote for T.A.G.

Three threads, two polls, over 300 replies, and still no confirm date for Bay Area AO Day 2.

Is it possible we're just as unorganized as the AOers from Southern California..

At this rate, I am just gonna skip this one until someone steps up as the AO Norcal Chapter President and schedules this thing once and for all.

I'm with Phil on this one. Someone needs to take point and make the decisions.

I'll Take Charge

If there are no objections then, I will take charge of this event.

Seeing as how at least some of you want to go to SCP, that is where the event will be. I will let the poll run a few more days to see what date is better and then based of that I will decided Sat/Sun.

I will call up the SCP field and find out:

1). Prices (with group or without group): Discounts?

2). Paintballs. BYOP or their stuff: costs colors and all that.

3). Time. When it starts: Breaks: Ends.

4). General field regulations, fps, bps, and all that.

5). Reservations? BBQ? fun stuff like that.

In the mean time while I do that. I would like those of you interested in this to email me at [email protected] with your name and an email I can reach you at so I can spam out messages to you all with events updates (AO forums will be used too but email is faster).

Please include in your email, what day you can come (19th or 20th of July (Sat/Sun), how many people you would bring, and if you would like to have/help pay for a BBQ that day.

I will post a new thread with all the details tomorrow.

[Blennidae]

Im thinking we'll keep the poll open until Saturday, 14th of June. This should give ya'll a little less than a week to settle arrangements, days off, prepare or what have you (i hope).
