"RetroBall", an "old school" paintball convention (the concept begins)
I talked to Steve tonight. We pounded out a working idea, and I wanted to know if there would be intrest in this. What we talked about is not as much a tournament as much as it would be a "Convention". What we're thinking of is an "old school" event, paintball the way it was, with enough of the new stuff to keep it interesting.
So what I'm asking is this. Would you attend an event like the following :
Pump guns only all weekend. No semis, double action, or similar. The possible exception to pumps only would be the GZ or Splatmaster, which are plunger action and still require a manual cocking action.
Event begins Thursday night, runs Friday to Sunday night. Entry to the event includes a free case of paint.
It would feature a 15 man tournament in the old style. 12 gram, 45 minute games, the works. If you don't happen to have 14 or so friends who all have pump guns we'd form teams at the event and place you on one.
Unlimited open play and "speedball" at the same time that you can just jump in on at your leisure. Or if you don't want to play the tournament, just play pumps only paintball. Also a trade show would be offered, and some "Stock Class Only" events as well.
All the events would culminate into a "big game" on Sunday afternoon into evening, all the field boundaries dropped and one large format game. Pump guns only, naturally.
We talked about other stuff too, but on the paintball side of things, that's what the concept is. So, what would the interest be in attending this kind of an event in, say, late summer this year?
