yeah i changed my mind about thatother part but by informal i mean it starts at 1pm and aoers play for prizes
prices will go down i can gaurantee but i was gonna offer up some cash for the pirst place team its all relaxed no pressure

also i have notified these comps as it will be informal and all just for fun i thought peopel would like some stuff to go home with

[sniper1rfa]

i like prizes and stuff, and i would love to play it as a tourney, but i dont feel like paying for it, i would rather just play.


howeve, i would pay a little (ten bucks?) if i meant we could get prizes of some sort.

but didnt the have a 3 man? i was think of having it on just the airballl field by the parking lot, for the larger prizes( i only have 2 people that say totally yes so far) but im also planning raffles for more stuff for people that dont want to participate

[sniper1rfa]

i like the idea of having sort of a pick-up tourney. no tourney environment, just get your team and play the tourney, then play others for fun between games, or talk, or whatever. no biggie. i think it would be fun, but paying isnt a good thing (i changed my mind, i dont want to pay anything beside field fees and paint and such.

I think sniper's and shartley's ideas are both great.
And best of all can be combined. As long as the whole affair is kept lo-key/relaxed it should be fun. If there were a pick-up tourney I think all prizes should be of the fun and humorous sort. This should be set up so we can all relax and get to hang out. But I'm with shartley, I'm not driving my butt all the way through or around Boston and then have a crappy time. I appreciate everyones effort and want to thank you for all that you guys have done so far, but if this turns into a serious tourney scene I won't show.

[Rynoboy06]

People who are on teams with each other shouldn't play with each other, and I'm thinking maybe higher-level players ought to ref or sit. We should still have some rec games too. Maybe make the tourney real short (like 2-3 hours). I'm sure we can work it out.

[dansim]

actually what i was thinking was have everyone who wants to participate write there names down and ill mix em up and pull out 3 or 5 names and tada a team

[paintballrulzs]

why not a top gun tourney?

[FutureMagOwner]

that would be cool because only one of my friends plays paintball consistantly besides me and i bought his mag so he cant go anyway . and i would like to play in a tourney so mixing up everyone would be cool. if you do that though dont mix everyone with everyone mix back players with back players and fronts with fronts and such so you dont get all front players or all back players


EDIT: also doesnt matter which day for me we do this on

[Mango]

The later the better for me.

[2000Sabre]

I think a pick up tourney would be OK but any tournament style play should be secondary to what the event is about. Keep the event about meeting everyone and just having fun. I don't want to scare people away with the focus being about a tournament. Let's not get caught up in tournaments and prizes and all that stuff. Let's just have fun.
