Back to Basics (Beavertown, Sat May 3rd)

[Phil]

Lets have a day of going back to the basics of paintball, where skill and strategy prevail, where kids aren't afraid to play, where the newest markers don't matter, where you can play all day with only 500 rounds of paintballs!

Paintball has been getting out of control with the with the focus on rate of fire. People new to the sport are intimidated (and for good reason) when they go out to play and people are shooting at them 15+ balls a second. Paintball is more fun when everyone is on the same level, so lets even the playing field!

This is a day of play for ANYONE, its an especially good time to bring a friend who hasn't played before, or wife or kids!

Rules:
MOST IMPORTANT - Leave your attitudes / egos at home, come to have a great time!
Gravity fed hoppers only! (no agitated or force fed hoppers, if you don't have one they are extremely cheap)
A5's still allowed but must have response trigger disabled and e-grips on semi
Electronic markers must be set to semi (no ramping, 3 shot burst, or any of that)
No additional pods allowed on the field. Only a hopper full of paint (200 max)
280 FPS Chrono
Gun hits will count

Time: 10am till we're done!

There will probably be a couple scuba tanks there (I will bring mine) which means there should be plenty of HPA to share for those using that since we'll be using much less paint then usual.

Any other suggestions please chime in!

Well I agree, but the first step in going that route is to see the interest in this style of play first. If it goes well and people want to play again then we will, and then if interest is still high then maybe make the third time pump only. Problem is good pumps are hard to come by and they aren't cheap, so its quite a commitment.

What could possibly go wrong?!?!

Hey Duck does that mean I get to use the Apex still???

[theduck]

you sure can. to make this week even better my F%$^()*ing secondary domain controller took a shit today. This thing hosts a variety of application, databases, and client data. She also runs replication for DNS, DHCP scope, and AD. it's 10:42pm and I'm still at the office. I hate computers and everything about them. I'm quitting and going to McDonalds for the fry station. 'Fries up in 45 seconds Richard.'

I might just join you there doing the drive-up window. Work is stress hell here also.
