    For the sole purpose that I want to help push this event, and pump play in general. I'll attend. Location is not my favorite, but I'm going for the "greater good."

    For 12grams that's an issue that's really hard to work around. There's going to be quite a few stock class guys there I can already imagine, myself as one of them. 10rnd tube and 12gr for me, yaaaaay.
    Maybe buckets placed around every here and there like trashcans, specifically for people to dump spent 12grams into. Then probably all sent off to be recycled.

    That and mention it in both pre-game talk, and on handout paper.

      Meph,

      thank you - and an excellent suggestion.

      Perhaps a rule mod that requires players to retain their 12 grams and spent tubes?

        Place garbage cans at key bunkers in the field. So that you can just toss 'em right there.

            Oh, don't worry. We'll take those home. You don't quite realise how much like "gold" those are...

            All looks cool for this. Now, naturally, who's the team to beat?

              I'm setting up entry fees to include the all weekend air, 1 case of paint and the entry; this is based on individual attendees, with the team fee being a multiple of that fee; each team size will be allowed a certain number of 'unpaid' alternates; if they play in their team's event(s) - no additional fees. If they want to play in other events, they can pay the entry at the event itself.

              I can't really do it any other way right now as I don't have a clue as to what the team sizes are going to be.

              Oh - the team entry fee will NOT restrict a team to participating in only the event for that team size; if you sign up as a 15 player team, you can still play open play, big game, speedball, and other, smaller team size events, schedule permitting.

              If it becomes apparent that one or more team events gain a large number of participants, I'll re-do the entry fees to reflect that, and we'll deal with adjustments as we go.

              Hotels, paint next. I've already got the tubes and 12 grams lines up.

              the pdf is ready - anyone wanting a copy, email me at BOTH [email protected] AND [email protected].

              website is basically done except for tweaking, and waiting for the host to complete the domain name transfer.

                  Featuring Rob 'Tyger' Rubin in the 'Bambi' suit. He'll get a head start, and then all of you woodsballers will get a chance to track him down and light him up. Now tell me, what could be better than that...?

                    maybe we get to get prizes for where we hit him...like if we get him in the head we get a 12gram, hit him in the nads we get tubes...

                    but...what happens if we silly string him?

                              Question, will you rent out pump markers to those who don't have any?
