"RetroBall", an "old school" paintball convention (the concept begins)

[SuiciDal Sn Y p ER]

i just can't stop showing this off





And i think i'm set for retroball

[SeeK]

We'd need a departure date, time, return date and a deposit. We'd also probably have to pay to put the driver up in a motel for howerver many nights.

The capacity of a coach is 30-40 with a bathroom and space for equipment.

You'd also need to collect money from people without refunds unless they get somebody to take their place.

Here's a link to a request form if somebody has the time to follow this up.

hmm i highly doubt that we will get enough people to go on the charter. I say we just get a bunch of cars together and make a giant convoy...

Busses

True - you might not be able to get 40 people from one particular area, but I wonder if it might not be possible to set up a couple of routes - so long as a charter company is willing to make a few stops along each 'route';

Chicago- fort wayne - cleveland - pittsburgh - skirmish...?

Dallas - Little Rock - nashville - columbus - skirmish...?

columbia - raleigh - richmond - dc - philadelphia - skirmish

I'll look into it: if anyone out there has contacts at bus charter companies, please get in touch

[SuiciDal Sn Y p ER]

if there is a bus you can count me being in the chicago one

[tribalman]

i have one question, on the poster is says "sign up now for early entry fee, it's $50" but right below that is says that entry for one person from march to to may31 is $100. which is it?

also, even though i wasn't in paintball during the 12 gram days i'm gonna try and get one and head out to this event. if any1 from chicago is driving, can i hitch a ride?

[nato]

Im in Chicago and will probably be driving out. Hopefully us ao-ilers can get a "convoy" going.

N.A.T.O.

[SuiciDal Sn Y p ER]

i'll hop onto one of those car convoys

maybe we can wave a GIANT AO-IL flag

[rabidchihauhau]

tribalman,

its a $50 deposit.

Here's how it works: if you pay the 50 deposit on or before May 31st, you only have to pay 50 more for your full entry. If you pay a 50 deposit on June 15th, you'll have to pay 65 for the full entry ($115) and etc.

A lot of people may be able to drop fifty bucks right now, but might find it difficult to come up with the full $100, so we're trying to make it as easy as possible.

headin up to AO-IL DAY IV, will be distributing retroball flyers

THANK YOU

Suicidal -

thank you very much. You are now officially a FIRST CLASS VOLUNTEER.

Please say hello to everyone there from us.

The sponsorship and vendor package will be up on the website later this evening and the forum ought to be activated by then too - so please pass that on as well.

[FlameboyC11]

What exactly does the "sponsorship" entitle? Are we sponsoring Retroball, or are being sponsored? Would this be a trade off of passing out fliers for a lowered entry fee or what?

[rabidchihauhau]

answers

the sponsorship flyer is for event sponsors - the folks who help make an event happen.

As for the flyers, there's no trade-off for distributing them. If you help distribute them, you help make the event better, bigger and more fun. If you don't help, you don't help, that's about all there is to it.
