    I do understand, but if I were to plan this on a Holiday weekend, how many would be able to come on a Holiday? And not have problems with the spouse? Trying to slot this game in, and take into consideration the other major games that usually take place during these months, and try to plan it on a three day weekend, AND expect people to show up for it is asking a bit much. Would love to have you come out for this Mostpeople, but I also have other consideration to take into account as well. I do know that because it is on a "normal" weekend that there are many people that cannot come because of the travel involved. But, I have to be realistic, and try to accommodate everybody involved. Not just players, but the people that help put on this event, and I have Air commitments as well.

    Believe it or not, there are many factors that affect the crowd that will show up at a field. Major sporting events, Nascar races, girly holidays, too pretty weather, too ugly weather, ect. So, I have to slot these events in when I can cause the least damage, or for the most good for the most people. And, I still have to pay the light bills. And, most of the crowd kinda likes it at the first of November. Weather is nearly perfect, or has been so far, and it is a dead spot in the major games that are played in this region. Wish I could help, but I am doing the best that I can.
    WOW, sigs. Havent seen these in a while here on AO.

      listen to it on the radio. I am sure they are playing GA. (I think that is ~ the ga time slot of the year. first weekend of nov.)

      besides they will have already fallen out of the bcs race by nov 1.

          vandy. you are going to miss paintball for vandy. I wouldn't bet on vandy if you gave me 40 points. GA, TN, SC, AR, LSU, id give you a pass on. all of those games are good regardless, but vandy. Those are the games that you give your seats to someone and go play paintball. They are not worth the walk to/from the stadium.

            I got to agree with Mann on his ^^^ post... Watching a Vandy game is like watching a idiot try to fight his way out of a wet paper bag...

            Toss the Vandy tickets to some friends and come out and play some ball... I have missed meeting you at the past 2 events and it would be great putting some faces to the screen names...


            Mostpeople,,, you know that I am in the Military as well and I love nothing more than my 3 day weekends,,, But brother put in a leave request and come out and enjoy a paint slinging good time... You won't regret it,,, I will promise you that !!!

            just my 2 pennies

              Kruger,,,

              It wasn't that the House we ate at was bad... Just the whole ride home I wanted to go to sleep after eating so much... I was about to at one time until MANN and his Wife flew past me in their car and blew the horn at me and I quit nodding off (Thanks Bro. !!!) after that I was good to go...

              Kruger do you guys have a Dunkin' Donuts we can all meet up at ??? gotta keep it light so I won't fall asleep on the field after a big breakfast...

                Well guys, it's almost August. November is going to be here before we know it.

                If things work out, I may have a rather large group coming with me this year. Group of woodsball scenario players that I play with didn't really get to do too much for the last two seasons due to various things, and a few of them are already frothing at the mouth.
                If it all works out, it may be a group about 10-15 strong. I hope it does.

                  Anybody from Texas thinking about going to this?

                  I might be able to drive out on Friday, play hard on Saturday, and drive back Sunday if I at least have a co-pilot.

                          Hey WK...let me know what you find out. I would be down for hooking up to eat...although, I think after might be better...lol perhaps even both.

                          I have been unable to get confirmation from any of my buddies. They took it like a good idea when I mentioned it, but they are all hemhawing around about saying they are coming. Meh, screw it, I am going to be there regardless. Too good a day of play to miss. Aside from the fact that I am the one "planning" it.

                            PK just shot me this link. Glad he did 'cause I sure wouldn't have seen it.

                            If I don't have any scheduling conflicts (like if I actually have a job by then and I'm not working) I plan on coming!

                                Shouldn't be a problem. Let me see how things are looking as the event draws nearer.
