Tournament Series Idea.....anyone step in

[deadbox101]

just make it in Pennslyvania so I can make it their.

[MisterBones25]

i would love to play in a tourny like that, i would suggest having it open to spyders and tippmmans too though.

I love the xball with talons event. Make entry 50 or so per player, you get to keep the gun at the end of the tourney. You can buy 12g's at the event. BYOP. Xball format.

[Pullman]

I'd totally be up for both formats. Georgia is a bit of a drive though.

[Will Wood]

I think it's a great idea.

[frop]

I'd go for both of em, if the location was right.

[White Wolf]

-=Squid=- Sounds like a good idea... Till noone shows up. Sorry to be negative, but that's just how this sort of thing goes. You won't get any tourney players at all.

I see that as the biggest plus.

I'd vote no outside guns, use the tourney supplied guns only, I'm sure if AGD or CCI would not step up a dealer would to at least test the concept.

place near tacoma did that several years ago, cept it was $50 and you got a pump BE see thru marker and 100 rounds of paint. you could buy more paint and co2 but if yur gun broke you out of the tournament (got to keep gun afterwards no matter what). was three man airball style, lots of fun but guns broke alot. friends team took 4th even with man down after 3rd game. lots of fun especially cuz he mounted an illegal valve and co2 grenade launcher on the gun after tourney.

Personally, I HATE playing with guns that aren't mine. While a good concept there would be freaks like me opposed to the idea on that very ideal, so to continue with the same idea, use a limiting factor like 9v revvies, have ugly women as bunkers, or make everyone use those ****ty Thunder Pig "sniper" barrels on Ebay. Or Limit paint. Bring any gun you want as long as you can ram a 10 round tube into it to feed it. I've done that before, I had to wrap the open ends of 10 round tubes with electrical tape so they would fit in the feedneck of my dm4 but I had a ton of fun playing semi stock.

Im trying the same thing here in Sweden, and all I have to say bout the reaction here is that kids/players need to have electronics in, otherwise they dont have the strenght to pull the triggers and cant fire that lifenecessary 13-18+ bps ray of paint....

[richie]

hey i think it's a good idea, and i'd play in it. i'm starting to get sick of electro anyway

Electro,what the heck is Electro Mech all the way.

[Chojin Man]

perhaps you could have these events in addition, at a regular electro tourney.

That doesn't work since although the event is attended that section gets negative press...look at Skyball and the pump section did you read any of the mainstream reporting about the slam fire etc...as a stand alone no frills tournament it is a good idea. On the comment before in this thread about making money from paintball alone...don't happen as only certain sites can survive on rec ballers alone and even then it is a close call. To put something back it is a good idea afterall the numbers of "players" who buy cheap pumps from K Mart and Wal Mart need to be able to play against the same type of gear to encourage them to step up to more advanced gear...which in turn will benifit the site owner as he will then sow the seeds for increased paint usage. Also for all the negative posters in this thread...you guys have stock class events with plenty of players so why would this tournament concept be so hard to fill. I recently played in the 24hr senario Toys For Tots and I saw at least two Phantom's being used...ok so it was only two but then I didn't see them having any problems but plenty of others with Tippmanns and DM4 and Angels etc etc did...plus there may have been a few more with pumps as there was over 350 people at the event...oh and a certain Tom Kaye also.
Bob I asume you are thinking of doing this at Regs? Good idea and needs to be followed through. After all as many are fond of saying it is the player not the marker I wonder how many people are prepared to come out from behind their electro and try and show they have game, plenty talk like they will do it I would but the flight cost would kill me unless it conicides with another of my trips over...it also doesn't have to be a huge event as there are many events on a local level that would have less people taking part in many states on most weekends.

If it's a plus to have a no tourney players in a TOURNAMENT, what the hell is the point?

some people just dont get it.... I am not a tourney player. I think tourney means bouncing electro+lots paint. I understand that the game may never change back to the way it used to be before it was invaded by "iz hot stunna's" but maybe one event a year like this would be pretty sweet.
