[jeffremiller]

So far I have these confirmed or almost confirmed;

Jeffremiller
Hardr0ck68
Dayspring
Load SM5
Jonesie

We have a list of unknowns (either unsure or waiting)
Muzikman
kutter
capo
boomerfoxtrot

The registration site isn't up so I don't know about entry fees yet. I think we also agreed on playing Novice.

And we all agreed to rotate and not have a designated alternate.

Love to add you to the list.

I'd like to go ahead and sign up as a "go" if that's OK. edit>>> I mean confirmed...

now we got all pistons firing...I signed up for the yahoo group (i think ). is it just a mailing list?? hmmm i have been thinkin about a custom jersey anyways....but if we go for them i think the name lettering/colors/basic layout should be the same...but we each get to add out own immages to them, stlyalized(sp?) to the individuals personality...for those of you who have met me you know this is important to me just my .02 on a small matter anyways....YEAH BUDDY IM GOIN TO N'ORLEANS

Ok I think I've signed up for the Yahoo bit. My new computer is in the shop so I'm on the back-up dinosaur. We should start looking out for cheap deals on jerseys. I also think we should consider team paint. That way the back guys and guys who need to shoot a lot of paint don't take the financial hit for covering the front guys.


Any thoughts?

[cledford]

It the paint BYOP, or do we all chip in on event paint equally and load the back guys up? Either way is fine.

Regarding the jerseys - I think we should stick with AO font/images/colors if possible. As far as customizing the jerseys for each player - how about using your Sig pics...

OK, I signed up for the Yahoo! Group with my Y! ID davej946. I'm all for the 6 players rotating thing, sounds good to me.

I'm all for the team paint idea, I like to play up front, so I'll help cover the guys who'll cover me!

Jerseys sound good. I'd like to get something that's decent quality so I'll have something nice to remember this experience by.

And I would LOVE to work the AGD booth... it would be a dream come true...

I didn't think this year was BYOP .. that's why a team from my local area isn't going...

anyway... on my playing..

I'm not going to play this year.. due to $$$$$ mainly.. and I only have 2 tournys under my belt so far...
but I want to stay in the mix with this group, and the team and all that goes down...
I might *will have to check closer to time* be willing to be a pod moose if ya need one...

but I am keeping heads up on this.. so keep us informed..

[hardr0ck68]

if its byop then maybe my sponcer can help us our i get paintfrom him at cost all the time for pratice, i cant see why he woudlent let me place an order for however many cases first i need a definate its byop or not, then i need to knwo what everyone likes to shoot (they can get RPS/PMI stuff for sure i dont believe they have a deal with anyother paint companies but i can cheak) the only other question would be what would paint prices be there? if its 80 a case then hell yeah i will get some to take alone, if its 50 then ehh i think it would be more hassle than good....just lettin you know

I'm gonna chime in one more time (and it probably won't be my last). How about you guys pick one common "AO" logo to put on the front, and then if you want to customize something, make the right shoulder a spot where you can put your custom/personalized image. This would be kinda like what they do with All-Star games. They all wear the same uniform, but have the team they represent someplace on the it. This way while on the field you will look professional and organized, but also be able to express your originality.

It's not BYOP. You have you chioce of 2 brands of Diablo. The Hellfire is going for $90/case. And Jonesie, if AGD is there and you let the guys know your an AO'er, you'll be working the booth. I did last year for most of the the time and had a lot of fun.

Keep and eye out for good jersey deals. Anything but 32 degrees.

Good suggestion. I like my idea of putting the personal logo on the back (see my yahoo post) where number would normally be put - but that was to be different. I'm not even sure if it would be "legal." It would be easier to see the logos - which a a big part of AO (never seen them anywhere else, and hey I need one!), but not that big a deal. The arm is a good idea too, I like professional and organized :)

Hellfire would be a good showcase for level-10 - "We came, we rocked, and we shot hellfire with no breaks"

$90 is steep, but I don't get it much cheaper here in northern VA - it goes for $85. Usually I shoot inferno, it works fine for me. Hellfire is OK too.
