    AO's second team at IAO information thread

    Ok... it would seem that somehow I managed to end up volunteering to Captain a team for IAO owners group. I don't have a lot of information on it, so I'm going to try to make a list of what we need to know, and will fill it in as we go.

    Team Name: Team AO simple.. Im open to other ideas

    What: Owner's Group tournament at International Amateur Open

    IAO website: http://www.teameffortevents.com/iao/

    Owner's group website: http://www.theiao.com/

    When:Where: Big Butler Fairgrounds, about an hour North of Pittsburg, PA
    Address: 1127 New Castle RD, Butler, PA

    Skill level: Guys, I'm playing for fun, I hope you are to

    How many games do we play 8 prelim games.

    How much is paint, is it BYOP: The rumor stands $75 to $100 a case.

    What format: Five Man

    Prizes:
    The Owners Group Division is proud to announce a fantastic prize package for the 2005 Owners Group Division. To start, the sportsmanship award winners will receive Five brand new AKALMP Viking marker. But AKALMP didnt stop there, they are also sponsoring a new prize, the Sportsman of the OGD, this year with an AKALMP Excalibur, fully loaded. These are the markers everyone has been talking about. On the other side of the prizes, we will be awarding Airgun Designs Pro Classics, AGD's entry level marker, AKALMP Two Liter regulators, Palmer's Pursuit Stabilizers, and a player kit from Dye consisting of a mask and jersey. This entire prize package is valued at over $8,000.

    Just a note, about 60% of the prizes are for sportmanship rather than competetive placing. Lets play nice folks

    Where we are staying: Its sounding more and more like Cameo's house


    Players: This is the list that I sent to Kevin for our players. I also included Guysdaman on the registration form - he had paid and then had to back out because of work issues and I refunded him his money - he is the only other eligible player now because he is the only one on the form. We are right at five guys here, and all of us have paid our share of the entry fee.

    1) Robert Lohman (me) AO handle: Lohman446 email: [email protected] Position: middle snake side Team Captain 26 years old from West Michigan Needs Hotel: Yes Entry fee: paid $100

    2) Andrew Seltzer AO handle "AGDlover", E-mail [email protected] Position: Front/Snake. 14 years old from Manhattan IL. Needs hotel: No Entry fee: paid $100

    3) Dj West AO handle: dj89 Email: [email protected] Position: Back snake side 16 years old from Fredonia , New York Needs Hotel: No Entry fee: paid $100

    4) Zack Zelehoski AO handle: "zackzel", E-mail: [email protected] Position: middle non-snake side 19 years old from Slippery Rock so I will not be needing a hotel, and as I said if someone wants to crash here they are more then welcome too Entry fee = paid $100

    5) Rob Barclay AO handle: Robbie Email: [email protected] Position: back non-snake side 34 years old from Tom Rivers New Jersey Needs hotel: no Entry fee = paid $100

    Hey, I will not be playing with AO, but can give you some of the info you need. Kevin will be releasing things such as Entry fee and day of play soon. Paint will be announced by Team Effort Events. (which their site is www.teameffortevents.com).

    It will be a 5man format.

    There are a few roach motels close to the field and a nice fairfield Inn about 10 mins from the field (Intersection of rt8 and 422). Most people stay in Cranberry Township, PA (some times refered to as Mars, PA). Cranberry has many hotels in many different price ranges. I do not think any give a discount any more, but you should be able to find something from $50-$300 a night.

    There are also a lot of places to eat in Cranberry which because of this becomes party central. Ask any AOer at past IAO's about Quaker Steak and Lube, which I plan on trying to organized another QS night. There is also a Primanti Brothers going in, which you guys will have to check out.

    I am sure there will be another OGD dinner. I hope it will be the evening after play.

                Waivers and all that are usually found at team effort events site. They will probably, as is my past experience, update their site around march. The dues deadline is usually June, We all stay in Cranbury, at one of the hotels there. They are abundant, and we usually start threads asking for roomies. It is cheaper to get a couple of 2 man rooms, and double up. Thats what we usually do. Also, if people are flying in (as I am this year), we usually try to get a carpool, and do a shuttle. Last year that worked great. We at AFTICA look forward to seeing another AO team there this year! (I'd speak for everyone, but most people on the team are jerks anyway).
                X-mag #10. Nuff said.

                my feedback

                  Let me know what hotel so we can get a couple rooms... we are going to get dues in well before they are due, just to try to avoid any last minute rushes
