As a spectator, perhaps. Depends on fundage.

BTW I think it sounds awesome! Wish I could go!

Which brings one to the next logical questions. Who are the refs? Are they to be pro reffs with no team affiliations? Will they have some reff training? What will they be paid?

sheesh doesnt anyone read APG anymore?
there is a whole article in the march issue of 2003 about the super 7 and what they are doing. It says that they will train reffs and fly them to every event. there is alot more info so you should just pick up the magazine.

Actually, I do read APG (waiting for my subscription to run out) and I did read the article, however, I am interested to see if they will implement what they stated. Call me a cynic but I have seen industry people make claims that were not followed through with before.

Further, there are rumors (on this very thread) that only some of the refs will be PRO refs and some will be members of Joy Division.

I just want to know what is happening thats all.

I really don't like the playing on the beach part. It seems like a really cool idea, but in reality what we'll see is many front players with jammed markers and players trying to clean the sand out from under there goggles. Maybe a playing field with reduced sand or something could work?

[dmonahan]

Remember, They are removing the top layer down to the hard pack. I live about 5 min from H/B and if they do it correctly it will be just like playing on dirt. It should be fine. They are also going to have air stations set up to clean your markers. you just have to make sure if you take a digger you clean your stuff up after the game. As long as the wind doesn't start blowing it won't be a problem (by the way it's 80 degrees and sunny.) If this weather hold it is going to be a very nice.

dmonahan..I'm going to be coming up from San Diego and wondering what the parking situation is down by the pier where they're playing?

[zads27]

Hey is AGD and company showing up for the event?

I'm coming up from San Diego as well, hope to see you guys there.

Hey Dirtybunny,
Parking will most likely suck next to the pier, But if you don't mind walking a ways there are all the beach parking lots to park in. I'm figuring on walking a quarter mile from my car (I hope I don't have to, just trying to be realistic). But hey, if its a nice day and you don't have equipment to lug around walking along Huntington Beach is not a bad thing at all IMO.
AGD will have no formal representation at the tourney as far as I know (aside from players anyway).

Here's what you can do to avoid busy parking lots. Park a mile away and rollerblade all the way to the pier. Just make sure that you blade behind the hotties!

Dirtybunny,

There is a large parking structure a crossed the street and if you stop by one of the bars or restaurants for a bite to eat or a drink they will vaildate your parking stub. Other that that just try to find a place to park a few blocks away and walk down.

Spplat Attack will be there

I just finished up the deal to have Spplat attack represented there. Pure promotions will be giving away several copies of the movie.

My thoughts exactly.
