AO-Texas

[Sharpshootertpg]

I too am a texan...i live in the same town as Cryer...I am trying to get a meet put together for the relatively near future (july or august). i have talked to Cryer, MaChu, and a few others about it....Last time i talked to Clare and Curtis(havoc), they both said they were too busy this summer to plan anything, so that leaves it up to us...

Rather- i will talk to you about your field

Petty's over near Austin is a nice place to play, however, the Paintball Factory would prolly be worth playin at since Rather works there.

gtrsi- i will talk to you too about future meets

Im Local to the DFW area... about 45 mi south of Dallas...

Corsicana area,I work at the FMX Paintball feilds are getting up and going, but prolly not the place for an AO meet

Paintball Factory, only problem I see with playing there is the price... Last I heard it was like 85/case... which is really not so healthy for me...unless that changes and they get a BYOP day/ compeitive team pratice prices, its going to be hard for me to really check it out

Maddogz, I gotta say, they have kick arse setup going on out there, great guys running it, deffently wouldnt mind setting something up there, they run a nice nightball setup too on Friday night, I have a feeling Ronn would be happy to set something up for AO...

Lets work on it...

[Cryer]

Whoop!

[Cryer]

looks like we've got a start...

I personally wont be able to attend, however, I'd like to see if we can get a decent AO turnout...

Who here is from this area? (Katy is perhaps 30-45 min NW of Houston)

Whoop!

-_-

Being from Tech I should do something about that. However I'm done with all my classes for my undergrad by Saturday so I really just don't care anymore.

[Sharpshootertpg]

CodeMA- the info is helpful...I will talk to Rather to see if he can get us discounts for a AO meet at Paintball Factory. Can you get a link to Maddogz site? If neither of these fields works out, Petty's is an option cuz their airball field rocks the hizzouse.

Gig 'em!

Alright, here's what's goin on so far: i talked to Rather about the Paintball Factory and i'm going to call them tomorrow to get some info and prices. He thinks it is possible for us to get a discount but i should know for sure tomorrow. I will post as soon as i know something.

Cryer- talk to me on AIM. we got a lot of stuff to talk about.

If you're a TX AO member, post up so we know you're alive and can start to get a better idea of how many of us there are right now....i know at the TXAO meet last summer, there were like 40 or so AOers there....supposedly around 50 at TEXBALL earlier this year...

[CodeMA]

madddogz.com is the addy to madddogz paintball...

If we can get paint for around 50 or less a case at the factory, Im down... Maddddogz already had brown box for like 45...

Madddogz has airball, Barrel/Pallet, tire, etc, long covered pavilan, lights for nightball, push button air system/compressors so no air issues, indoor plumbing bathrooms, misters, etc etc, plenty of parking, in fair shot of hotels/eats/etc great feild...

I called ThePaintballFactory today and talked to Tim...i told him a little bit about AO and about our past meets. He said to call back tomorrow and he will have some prices. The discount will prolly depend on how many AOers go to the event. WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT A DATE to have the meet on tho. I'm thinking sometime in August so we have plenty of time to plan and get everything arranged, along with a list of who all is going. It is not set in stone that the meet will be at TPF; i will let yall know more tomorrow when i get prices.

If you want to help pull this together, talk to me on AIM. My sn is Sharpshootertpg...Help would be greatly appreciated. Also, we will need to get an idea of how many ppl can attend an event in August...when we figure out for sure what field the meet will be at and what day, i will start a new thread specifically for the meet so AOers can sign up.

[Sharpshootertpg]

Alright guys n girls, here's the info on ThePaintballFactory: i spoke to Tim again today on the phone. He said the best deal we can get is a $10 entry/air fee per player and 15% off per case of paint...that's for Blaze paint thats normally $70 per case, so we would basically have it for $60 per case. This is the pricing for 16 or more people...doesnt matter if its 30, 40, or 50 people, this is the best deal we can get at The Paintball Factory. While this is an extremely nice indoor field with an Xball and another airball field, i realize some of yall might not be interested in having a meet here.... Petty's is still an option. It's an excellent field with a great airball setup and AO is welcome to go back to have another meet there if we want to. I'm not sure on the prices for Petty's tho. I know last summer they were very good. I checked out their site earlier online and they appear to have good prices... I emailed them to see what prices would be with a discount, so i will post those prices up as soon as i have them. If we need to, we can vote for which field to play at. For now, post your opinion on which field we should have a meet at sometime in August. We can setup a poll in the near future.

Greetings,
Hummm....AO Day!.....

I talked to Joe Petty a little while ago about having a meet at his field (Petty's Paintball) sometime in August...here's the email he sent me back:

"Greetings Tyler,
I had talked to Curtis and Clare at Bunkerfest and knew you were going to
get in touch.
Do you have a date in mind?
I have met and know a few of the AO folks and always enjoy their company,
family atmosphere and fair play.
We can probably work something out.
I think the last time I did 7.00 for admission and all day air.
We have white/brown box starting at 40.00.
Most expensive paint we have is 65.00.
Also tell the AO folks to feel free to BYOP!
Probably build a nice big airball like last time, too.
Cheers,
Joe Petty - AKA Vern1"

For info about Petty's field, go to www.pettypb.com

So, now we need to decide, WHICH FIELD?, and WHAT DAY? I'm thinking mid-august to allow scheduling and to let enough people know about this.

[Sharpshootertpg]

I personally vote we hold the meet at Petty's as i have been there before and know it is a great place to play paintball. Also the prices are very reasonable...$65 for a case of Inferno or Evil Good luck finding that good of a deal on paint at any other field. They also offer a few other types of paint that aren't bad. Or, you can BYOP

Yes, TPF may be indoors, but your'e lookin at $60 for a case of Blaze plus $10 entry fee...and you CAN'T take your own paint there.

I dont know what yall think, but i think it makes more sense to have the event at Petty's. Post your opinions on the subject.

Pete's is top notch
