Update for the Star Trek / Shatner event at CPX
August 31st, 2002
Just got back in from Chicago, after having a great meeting with Forest and Justin Brown of CPX, Tom Kaye of Airgun Designs, JJ Brookshire of SPPLAT, and the Captain himself, William Shatner. Everything went smoothly and the event is a "go" with a lot of interesting twists. The Captain is pumped up and ready to lead the Federation to a sound victory!
The event will start on Wednesday and continue through Sunday, all included in the SPPLAT entry fee. Open play on all fields Wed./Thur./Fri. Actual event will be Saturday from around 9 a.m. till 5 p.m.; exact times TBA. Tank battle for the $1,000 will commence on Sunday.
Paint will be $60 per case.
The Federation command staff has been finalized: Field commanders are: Kerry "Viper" Rosenberry of Viper Enterprises; Mike "Blue" Hanse of EMR; Joe Stayback from Sherwood Forest and Thunderstruck fame; Kevin "Joker" Wilkes from Team Joint Fury, and Matthew Zeyn from the Doom Troopers will coordinate base security. Diane "Mother" Howe and Bobby "Darkman" Gogolin are Special Ops. I will be Shatner's XO.
Each of the four Field Commanders & Base Security will have 200 troops. Four Squad Leaders need be assigned under each Field Commander. Squad Leaders need to: Be a paintball stud; be able to follow orders & improvise on the fly; handle a group of 50 players; be on the field for the entire game; lead from the front; have a decent trigger finger; have a stong desire to shoot hundreds of Borg and Klingon scum and have already signed up for the event (or do so now) on the Federation team.
Five Medic positions need to be filled by very special folks willing to sacrifice. Contact Pacman for one of these five spots; I'll fill you in at that point.
There should be many different movie-type celebrities showing up to play the game. Don't be surprised by whom you see at the event or find playing next to you during the game.
Xtreme Trade Show: Big tent with 50 sponsors showing off their paintball wares. Will be open from Wednesday till Sunday, servicing all your paintball needs.
Atomic Ordnance Grenades are the only approved grenade for the venue = Non-Staining!!!
Semi-Auto only; 280 FPS! Leave the zips, turbos, full-autos at home. Select-fire lockouts & tourney caps a must; ie, caught shooting full-auto is a Highway 80 Violation (in simplest terms, a Highway 80 Violation is the major highway you will travel when leaving the event early for shooting full-auto!)
A two-hour TV special: Shatner announced that a movie-style film crew will be on hand to record the entire game, which will be turned into a TV show! Free HI-8 and Digital 8 media will be available for all persons who wish to film the event, then drop off their media for inclusion in the movie. TV credit will be given! You still have to be a signed up as a player to video the event. All participants will be signing Model Releases
Star Trek Convention @ Empress Casino: In conjunction with the event, there is planned a Star Trek Convention to be held at the Empress Casino across the river (just a couple of miles away). All Federation team players should buy their event paint before going to the casino/Star Trek convention. All Borg and Klingon players are urged to go to the casino before buying event paint.
Parking / Shuttle Service: With 3,000 players, parking will be an issue day of the event. Three persons per car to park on-site; less than 3 and you will be routed to an outlying parking lot and shuttled to the field. Plan accordingly, folks. Car Pool!!!!
My private meeting with Shatner was short and sweet. The information from the meeting was shared with the Federation field commanders and they will only share that information with signed up loyal troops. (Yeah we got the plan happening. It will suck to be Borg or Klingon)
Signing up for one team and playing for another will result in your person being expelled/removed from the premises and loss of event jersey from the event with no-refunds. A Hwy 80 violation! (Sorry guys. You'll have to earn that commander elimination on Shatner; it will not be given to you; you won't be able to buy it!)
And let's not forget: all profits from this event is to benefit the AHEAD WITH HORSES Charity!
For more information or to sign up for this event, go to www.spplat.com
This event is going to be the biggest ever held in paintball and will easily blow anything previous out of the water. Come be a part of paintball history in the making!
