New Jersey AO Day 4!!!

[Thordic]

Last year black cell said that over a hundred would show up, but I thought that the organizers were mad because not nearly that many people showed up

Also, just a comment on this because you seem to be trying to blame Black Cell.

The event last year was supposed to be held at PBX's Sussex field, and all the publicity pointed to this. Flyers were given out at Global advertising for the SUSSEX field.

Then, a couple weeks before the event, the Sussex field wasn't ready, so a new location had to be found in a scramble. Attendance suffered because it was impossible to let everyone know the location was changed.

You can learn something from this. Short warning on location = lower attendance.

Attendance would have been higher if the Sussex field had been available, but it was unfortunately not for whatever reasons.

Location is set as Jon Comprado was the one to ask PBX to host it and the Big Kaye-huna confirmed.

If the date conflicts with many people's schedules, please give us some alternate dates (keeping in mind all the other events and Jon's schedule so that he can attend). We'd also like to make sure PBX Violator can attend and that it doesn't conflict with their tourney dates since there are so many AOers on that team.

While we have many special events planned for the day, we certainly welcome any suggestions you guys may have to make this FUN and EXCITING. The field will be open exclusively to AOers and we can play all morning, afternoon and night long--if you so desire (but I wouldn't want to cut too much into the night time partying! )

i personally like the sound of on site cabins(knightsbreed), but a months notice is a little short, no alot short

Roll up the middle net! 50 bunkers! 25 on 25! WwooT!

1DE - Last year that area had been newly bulldozed, and NJAO came before they got to clean it up. They've had a whole year now to get that area ready.

Yeah, but I really want AC. Also, I am selfish. PBX is an hour for me and Knightbreed was like 2 plus hours!

like tunaman siad roll up the middle net , 50 bunkers but instead of two teams of 25 put four teams of 7 on each corner

ok well i have an opinon on both sides of this and ima explain both and will try to stay as nuetral as i can.

PBX Pro's
Indoor's, AC,only AO,Nice feild,Cool people running it, Good reff's, and rents automags.
PBX Con's
Same day as MIAO, Too short notice, No TUNA!

OTHER SIDE Pro's
Onsight cabins, bigger feilds, Advnaced notice, last year was fun, Outside which means BBQ. TUNA!!!

OTHER SIDE CON's
Hot, Muddy, Weather, not enough staff to reff us.

With saying all this i think that NJAO should be pushed back to mid-august. are there any tourny's during mid august? IAO would be like 3 weeks in the past, more than enough time to recover from money damage. I also think that it should be held at PBX Battlezone. Also NO TUNA, NO TOBE, NO OFFICIAL AO DAY

I just looked at the directions, and it's gonna be 4 hours 25 minutes away. I think I'm gonna need a week or 2 to figure out if I can do it.

[Suede]

Can we take a vote? How many would prefer to keep the date and how many would prefer to push it to August. If in August what day? We need some concrete info if are going to try to accomodate the greatest number of players.

You want my opinion? Don't drive that Mercury down again Bro!

[Tunaman]

Late August would be a great time.

[Dayspring]

Well due to popular response, as well as Jon's pleading, and our undying love for The Tunaman, we are going to move the date for NJ AO 4 to August 7th 2004. (We also don't want to compete with Michigan AO.)

I am going to have the mods close this thread so as to not confuse anybody. (Like that's out of the realm of possibility. )
