I PM'd you. Just send me your e mail address and ill be happy to send ANYONE a flyer for this event.

chettacheez,
Were opening this to AO'ers, AUTOMAG users, and friends of AO'ers and AUTOMAG users. They dont have to use a MAG during this event, however, if they come to play, they either need to own a MAG, or be with someone that owns a MAG.
There will be a special tournament at night under the lights just for fun. The tournament will be restricted to MAG's only.

Glad to see some response, I was afraid this thread died. Now im happy again :--------

Can you go over how to pre-register or register without physically going to fox's store or field?

[chettacheez]

To quote PYRO's PM.

If your in the area, you can always drop off the registration fees at the Fox store in Aurora, or the Fox field in Millington. You can also send me a check or money order, and ill confirm payment as soon as I receive it.

Just to show good faith (Alot of scammers out there), heres my background;
Im the owner of SPLATTERZONE PAINTBALL PRODUCTIONS, Illinois LARGEST traveling Scenario Event Promotions company. WWW.SPLATTERZONEPAINTBALL.NET.
I have also been the Field Manager for Fox for the past two years, and a Fox Member for 13 years.

If something does happen, and the event either gets cancelled, or we dont have enough players, a full refund will be sent to you immediately.
You can send payment to;
SPLATTERZONE PAINTBALL
8025 Whitfield Rd.
Newark, Il. 60541

Please be sure to include the days you will be playing (Sat, Sun, or both), all of the playersnames and contact information, and if you would like the meal deal. The cost is $20 per player, per day. This includes the night tournament, all day of play, and free camping. The meal deal cost is $10 per person which includes soda & pizza on Sat night, and a continental breakfast on Sunday morning.
Hope to see you there.

ATTENTION AUTOMAG OWNERS

1st Annual AO Meet & Greet
Fox Paintball
Millington, Il.
May 19th & 20th

OK, heres the deal. May 19th & 20th is etched in stone and will be reserved as a private game through Fox. The cost will be $20 per player, per day and its BYOP. Fox will give a great paint discount for pre registered players in this group at the field. All players wanting to play in this MUST pre register for the game no later than Tuesday, May 15th. You can play on Sat, Sun, or both, its up to you.

There will be a sign up sheet at the Fox Field too. If you sign up but dont pay, then you are not signed up. Payments can be made directly to PYROMAN at the field (Im there throughout the week and every Sat & Sun), or to DevilSpawned (PM him for his info on AOTOMAGS.ORG or PBNATION). Fox will take cash, credit cards, or checks at the store or field. If signing up at the Fox store, PYROMAN must be contacted first. Waivers can be picked up at the Fox Field or downloaded at WWW.FOXPAINTBALL.COM. Having waivers filled outin advance saves time at the field (More play time)

This price is based on 100+ players and may change if we dont get our minimum. There is a minimum player requirement of 25 pre registered players.
This will be a two day outing. Camping is available for free (Please pick up after yourselves). Two days of PAINTBALL, PARTY, and SWAP MEET. Bring your guns & gear. Show off what you have, or trade for what you need. This is not a dealers convention, so please keep that in mind. There are 250 AUTOMAG rentals available at the Fox Field if anyone needs a rental (Low $10 rental fee, not bad for a MAG).

The earlier players sign up and the more players we get, the more we can do for you at the field for setting up games. Concessions are available at the field, however, we may offer a special food deal for pizza Sat night, and breakfast Sun morning for only $10 per player.If we do a pig roast, the food fee may be higher.

Were working on a band right now. All of the above listed items are based on 100 players minimum. The more we get, the more we can do for this event.
Lets get out there, meet some AO players and have one HELL of a party!!

Ill make everyone a deal, Ill make all of the neccessary updates as soon as we start getting players to register. The payment meathods are now posted, and my contact info has been up for some time now. (630)803-7658.
Its very difficult to try to post updates, make plans and arrangements, and prepare for an event when we have no idea on how many players will be there. Its still early, but I have zero people signed up. Now dont get me wrong, many have said they will be there, and im sure this event will happen, but money talks. The owner of Fox has been very good about letting me run with this game without having to put a deposit down. Im not trying to sound discouraged, but in my many years of business in this industry I have come to know that the only way to run a great event is to be organized. I just want to ensure that everyone that comes out has a great time so we can make this an annual game at Fox each year. Heck, I may even try to get into a game or two (If I can remember who I loaned my E MAG to three years ago, LOL). Paintball tank anyone? Like I stated before, the more players we get, the more I can do for you.
COME SEE ME THIS WEEKEND. Its a $15 day at Fox this Sat. Trust me, ill be there.

Pyroman are you by any chance the guy we talked to about a private game in April? Would be firefighters and EMS people?

Nope, I think you were talking to the owner of Fox. He did say to give him a call if your still interested. If it helps, I am a FF/EMT (LOL)

I put up a new thread here.

[PYROMAN315]

Alot better response this weekend regarding this event. I have several flyers posted, and many people asking about it. My copy machine took a dump so I couldnt make up the flyers fo the cars like I wanted to for last weekend.
And sorry Oscar, I was busy on the back fields and couldnt get inside to take your registration fee. You can send it to me directly, or we can try another drop off at a later time.

I dont know if alot of you know the story behind AGD and FOX or not. The reason I was pushing to get this game at the Fox Field so bas was because of the history these two companies have together. Tim, the Owner/President of Fox (Old School SANDMAN) worked for Tom at AGD a LONG time ago. They developed a great respect for one another, and Tim, along with Tom, learned early on what it takes to survive in this insane business. After a few years of owning Fox PB, Tim asked Tom what it would take to upgrade the Fox Field rentals to all AUTOMAG rentals. They made a deal, Tom became a silent partner for a few years, and the rest is history. Fox currently has 250+ AUTOMAG rentals at their field, which nobody else has, and most of them are the original ones that were put in service 14 or so years ago. (Relaible enough for ya?)
Tim and Tom also played together on and off for years. As a player myself, I have had the pleasure of meeting Tom several times. And now that run the Fox Field, I have a great respect for Tim, as well as Tom due to the stories Tim has told me.
Where am I going with all of this? Well, if we get the two together for this event, I think a little "One on one" challenge, along with a little friendly wager, of course, would be so fitting for this event. In the 14 years that I have played at Fox, I have never seen Tim play at his own field. On the other hand, I have been at several events that Tom was at, and never seen him play as well.
So someone needs to see if Tom will be able to make this event. Just a nice added bonus for us all. If someone can do this, Ill have no option but to be forced into making Tim come down and play in this event with us too.
Im going by history, story telling, and alot of quotes with the above story. Im sure most are fish stories, but isnt that what paintball is all about? Campfires and braggin rights.
So lets keep this thread alive so we can make this party happen.
